.....and now for something completely different? an Iphone app

[Declan]

Hi folks

we just launched a free Iphone/Ipad app in I tunes based on the streams pages on Wikieducator.

The app reflects slimmed-down content from here: http://wikieducator.org/Streams/home so that teachers and students can take their tailor-made bug web sites to the field where there is no wifi.  Most important...it preserves the wiki flexibility...any changes made to the wiki get reflected in the app every time the "sync" button is pushed.

Search for Vermont macroinvertebrate in the app store if you are interested.

....one more way Wikieducator can be used.

Cheers

Declan

Very much a student initiative....content, photographs by Saint Mikes students and UVM students working at Saint Mikes....and the programming on the app was done by computer science students in University of Vermont working with a different professor.  It's not like I have the first clue how to program an app....but they set it up so that I can add content to the wiki and sync it up to the app....boggles my mind.

Thanks for the responses.  WE has been quite an adventure for me...nothing I learned in grad school.  There is huge potential here; very supportive community providing training and help for no reason other than a desire to further education across the globe.

I've launched a new release. Corrected issues we detected yesterday
(repeated titles overrited the pages) and added a link into each page
to the original source.

Declan, you can change the info working with the templates.

It all looks great.  I added the few missing matrices that I did not have on my web site.  The software with the original release of the data sets is no longer functional so I requested the missing data sets from the Field Museum. They were very helpful and sent me what I needed.
Thanks again!
