iOS App Helps Moms Just Say No to Velcro on Kids Feet - Published on 08/30/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

alotta.edu, inc. introduces its new app, Tie Your Shoes! 1.0 for iOS, to help school age children learn to tie their shoes like big kids do. Tie Your Shoes! is designed so a child can work alone or with a parent. It takes full advantage of the iPhone and iPad's remarkable displays and uses eye-popping videos to clearly demonstrate the correct movements of the left and right hands. Tie Your Shoes! makes learning fun and many children learn to tie their shoes in minutes.

Willow Grove, Pennsylvania - alotta.edu, inc. introduces its new app, Tie Your Shoes! 1.0 for iOS, to help school age children learn to tie their shoes like big kids do.

"Velcro is widely used in children's shoes and it allows children to fasten their shoes long before they would ever be able to do so with laces. But this usage frequently continues after a child is ready to tie their own shoes"' says Claude B. Carter, President of alotta.edu, inc.

"I witnessed this in my own family. I watched my nieces and nephews use Velcro long after they were ready to move on. It seemed like a great app idea and we decided to create it," continues Carter.

"We examined all the options available to parents from free online YouTube videos to books available from retail outlets for $20 or more. None of these choices give the child or the parent visuals they can control at each step," continues Carter.

Tie Your Shoes! is designed so a child can work alone or with a parent. It takes full advantage of the iPhone and iPad's remarkable displays and uses eye-popping, high contrast videos to clearly demonstrate the correct movements of the left and right hands. From "Pick up the shoe laces" to the final "Congratulations" each step is clearly demonstrated in its own video clip.

"Our strongest feature is the control we give to parents and children during the learning process. Our app's custom buttons deliver unprecedented control of the step-by-step process. This creates a learning environment that is tailored to each child and it gives each child the ability to focus on those steps that need the most attention. No other app, book or instructional aid replicates this exacting control at every step", says Carter.

To make learning fun for children, Cleetus the Clown narrates the videos and his big, colorful clown shoes fill the screen with easy to follow images. Cleetus also appears in a game section called "The Race" which allows children to race a sneaker around a track to see who can cross the finish line first.

"We saw a tremendous opportunity to make learning fun and easy for children ready to master this life skill", says Carter, noting that more than 300 million children worldwide between the ages of 5 and 9 wear shoes and will at some point need to learn this lesson.

"Our app is a smile generator. That's what you see when a child masters this important life skill," says Carter.

Feature Highlights:
* Step-by-step video clips that isolate each and every step
* Repetition controls that make repeating and advancing step-by-step easy to do
* Eye popping, high contrast videos to make all movements easy to understand and mimic
* Clear verbal instructions to reinforce images in the videos
* An animated game called "The Race" because all work and no play is not a fun day

Device Requirements:
* 3/4Gen iPhone, iPad, or 3/4Gen iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later
* 53.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Tie Your Shoes! 1.0 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

Fremont, California - Penpower Technology Inc, a leader in the mobile app industry with their constant quest for new innovations to improve productivity and ease of use has now announced its latest update to the extremely popular WorldCard Mobile app. WorldCard Mobile, the award winning app that has been recommended by the Wall Street Journal and embraced worldwide for its ease and practicality, is now even better with its 5.0 version.

We've made a great application even better."

WorldCard Mobile continues to be a front runner in the advancement of capturing technologies. Known for its ability to capture and sort contacts by name, company, position or a variety of other fields, email signatures capture, and seven language recognition, the addition of the Google contact integration just completes the package.

New Version Features:
* Manage and sync with Google contacts

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The booth will feature presentations from Tiffen DfxPERTS and interactive product demos on Tiffen Dfx Software, Tiffen Filters, Lowel-Light, Davis & Sanford Tripods, Listec Teleprompters, Domke gear and Steadicam brands.

Hauppauge, New York - The Tiffen Company, a leading manufacturer and distributor of award-winning accessories for the still imaging, video, motion picture and broadcast markets, will exhibit products from its Domke, Davis & Sanford, Listec, Lowel-Light, Tiffen Digital and Optical filters, and Steadicam brands at the upcoming Photoshop World West Expo held at the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada from September 5 - 7 (booth 523). "Tiffen is all about helping people create a great image, whether they are using one of our professional Lowel-Light systems to capture an emotion or the Tiffen Dfx digital filter suite as a plug-in for Photoshop to create one. Tiffen offers just about any image capture or creation accessory a professional could need, and these products can be seen and experienced right on the show floor at Photoshop World West," comments Steve Tiffen, president and CEO, The Tiffen Company.

In addition to interactive product demonstrations, the stand will buzz with special Tiffen Dfx v3 presentations from Tiffen DfxPERTS Richard Harrington and Eddie Tapp. Now in version 3.0, the multi-award winning Tiffen Dfx has quickly built its reputation as the fastest, easiest, most powerful and most versatile image editing system in the industry. Eddie Tapp, M.Photog., MEI, Cr., API, Photoshop Hall of Fame Inductee, Canon Explorer of Light and Tiffen DfxPERT, had this to say about version 3, "Features in Dfx add brilliant options to my workflow, and one of the most important features to me is the fact that all of the Dfx filters are available in 16-bit with my Smart Object workflow. This allows me to refine any Dfx creative enhancement at any time. When I do have to make changes of any kind from Smart Objects, the amount of time to update any Tiffen Dfx filter is acceptably smooth and fast, allowing me to try various settings and get the results in short order."

The popular digital effects software has received several awards, including the Award of Superiority from MicroFilmmaker Magazine, the Photo Industry Reporter's prestigious Best of the Best award for CES 2012, the DV Black Diamond, Videomaker Best of Show CES and Digital Photography Magazine 2012 Editors' Choice Award - making it one of the most award-winning photo and video digital filter effects software applications on the market.

Tiffen DfxPERT Richard Harrington, who is also presenting at the Photoshop World West Conference, uses Tiffen Dfx extensively. "I use Dfx in both my photo and video workflows because I just love how it simulates traditional film stocks. I also find it's the perfect balance of great presets with extensive controls that are easy to use. I also enjoy the great control over tone and color throughout the Dfx suite, particularly its easy-to-use selection tools for generating masks. I recommend the package highly to my students and use it professionally at RHED Pixel."

There is an App for That: AP Psychology Students Track, Share, Analyze - Published on 08/31/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Track and Share Apps, LLC. announces Track & Share 3.4.0, the app that lets individuals track what matters to them and find correlations of how things are related. With the app, users track moods, improve habits, manage health, and more. Embraced by the Wauwatosa School District, who purchased 280 copies, the app can also be used in an educational setting to teach students class material ranging from the biological basis of human behavior to research methods used in social sciences.

Burlington, Vermont - Track and Share Apps, LLC. is pleased to announce Track & Share 3.4.0, the app that lets individuals track what matters to them and find correlations of how things are related. With the app, users track moods, improve habits, manage health, and more. Embraced by the Wauwatosa School District, who purchased 280 copies, the app can also be used in an educational setting to teach students class material on human behavior and research methods.

Nicole Vitrano, AP Psychology teacher at Wauwatosa East High School, was looking for better ways to teach her class material ranging from the biological basis of human behavior to research methods used in social sciences. She found it in a cool app that brings it all together. Vitrano, whose students at first used the lite version, about the Track & Share app: "I loved having students use it to track their sleep and look for correlation between sleep and diet, exercise, mood, and stress."

Vitrano's colleague, Andy Zietlow, AP Psychology teacher at Wauwatosa West Highschool, looks forward to his students using the app in the coming school year.

Zietlow: "Entering and analyzing the data is straightforward. This is a great way for AP Psychology students to get started with hands-on data capture and analyses."

How does the Track & Share app work?
Students use an iPad, iPhone, or iPod to configure their own tracking program on the Track & Share app. Everything can be customized, from labels to icons that come with the different scales. Several life domains are already set up for those who want to start out of the box. The app offers statistics to analyze the data, or students can share data easily via email for discussion and further analyses.

Now available: multi-person upgrade for Special Needs Ed. Track & Share as well as Autism Tracker recently received a new feature that allows teachers to track several children on one device. This feature together with the app's openness for custom set up is especially useful for supporting Individual Education Programs (IEP). Teachers and parents decide which measures and educational goals make sense for each child.

Uwe Heiss, Founder of Track & Share Apps, about the new feature: "We make tracking apps that people can relate to. Custom configuration allows people to see themselves in the app and in the data. That makes it easier to keep tracking and to understand what works."

Track & Share Apps will present this new capability for special education at the Touch Technology Applications for Children with Special Needs Conference on September 17th, 2012 in St. Louis, MO.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.2 or later

Our app is the first to make real programming in PHP possible on the iPad.

This app brings something that was not possible before - people don't always have access to their desktop computers, but they usually have their tables at all times.

Top 5 features:
* Offline PHP code execution
* Editor with perfect syntax highlighting
* Multiple open files in tabs

In a squat-like office where they don't have to pay any rent, they are founding a startup called 'Ragtime'. From a small town in the Czech republic they are trying to prove that you can build a successful product with very limited resources. Copyright (C) 2012 Kodiak. All Rights Reserved.
