More iResources for iClassrooms from Interactive Elementary - Published on 09/04/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Canadian-based Interactive Elementary has released two new resources for Apple's iPad while also adding features to its flagship educational application, Middle School Math HD. Jacob's Angle, an iBook, tells the story of a grade school shot put competition while relating basic geometry concepts. Geared for students aged 9-12, Jacob's Angle includes Keynote slideshows, animations, and several reading comprehension widgets, which allow students to monitor their understanding as they read.

Temiskaming Shores, Canada - Interactive Elementary has released two new resources for Apple's iPad while also adding features to its flagship educational application, Middle School Math HD. Jacob's Angle, an iBook, tells the story of a grade school shot put competition while relating basic geometry concepts.

"This is a brand new type of resource," explains Dave Brown, the company's president and an Ontario teacher. "Math and mathematical language can seem very inaccessible to many students. Literature opens doors. Through connecting mathematics with literature, students use their background knowledge, make connections, predict and infer. Literature stimulates discussion and creativity. As math teachers, we need to recognize the deep connection between storytelling and learning. That's what this resource is all about, and it's interactive."

Developed using Apple's iBooks Author software, Jacob's Angle includes Keynote slideshows, animations, and several reading comprehension widgets, which allow students to monitor their understanding as they read. The iBook is geared for students aged 9-12.

Jacob's Angle premiers on iBooks for $0.99, the same price as Interactive Elementary's other new offering, Probability Tools.

"Probability Tools is a very simple tool, but we feel it's a resource that teachers will find indispensable," explains Brown, referring to the application that provides students with virtual manipulatives like coins, dice, and spinners.

Although he suggests schools will benefit from the savings on some reoccurring expenses due to their adoption of his company's product, he asserts the application is more than just another means for schools to save money through tablet-based learning.

"The app really augments the learning experience because it allows students more flexibility in how they interact with materials that have always been static. There's definitely a dynamic component to this resource."

Interactive Elementary also announced a free update to Middle School Math HD. Added to the application are student assessment tools, a report card feature, and instructional videos to complement each of the eight activities included in the bundle.

The app, which emphasizes game-playing and skill development for children aged 11-14, debuted on Apple's' App Store last June. Embraced by teachers around the world, it includes activities related to basic algebra, data management, and coordinate geometry.

Brown says he and his development team strived to create a product that not only followed from curriculum standards but also served to liberate teachers from tedious tasks like preparing and marking the drill work.

"North American schools have entered into a major period of transition. Technology is being infused everywhere you look. Of course, tablets are beginning to play a prominent role in this movement. What we offer is just one piece of the broader puzzle. We aim to build resources that effectively replace the worksheet while providing students with immediate feedback on their understandings."

1-bit Ninja Developer Announces New Game - Oh Hi! Octopi! - Published on 09/04/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

kode80 LLC today announces the upcoming release of Oh Hi! Octopi!, its new iOS game. Help fight back a never ending stream of Octopi using your trusty hammer, paint bubbles and the occasional bomb. Oh Hi! Octopi! combines color matching puzzle gameplay and single screen arcade platforming with inspiration from the 16-bit era and a control scheme designed specifically for touch screens. It features full-resolution pixel art, 60 fps framerate, original soundtrack and Game Center leaderboards.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida - kode80 LLC today is pleased to announce the upcoming release of its new iOS game Oh Hi! Octopi!. Oh Hi! Octopi! combines color matching puzzle gameplay and single screen arcade platforming with inspiration from the 16-bit era and a control scheme designed specifically for touch screens.

In Oh Hi! Octopi! you must help fight back a never ending stream of Octopi using your trusty hammer, paint bubbles and the occasional bomb. Using your hammer Octopi can be dazed temporarily and moved around the screen. Hitting Octopi with the correct colored paint bubble will knock them off the screen removing any like-colored Octopi they may hit on the way down. Big combos can be achieved resulting in huge scores, the more Octopi you remove in one go, the more points you receive. Remove 10 Octopi to progress to the next round but watch out, each round the Octopi increase in speed.

Oh Hi! Octopi! employs a control scheme similar to kode80's previous game 1-bit Ninja. The screen is divided into two halves with each half acting as a button. This two button approach removes a lot of the problems commonly associated with touch screen controls; accurately touching the desired button and the need for on-screen controls. In Oh Hi! Octopi! the two buttons act as left and right. Tapping either button causes the player to strike with their hammer in the appropriate direction, holding either button causes the player to walk and by tapping left, right, left, right repeatedly the player can perform a spin jump move useful for navigating to higher platforms.

The creator of Oh Hi! Octopi! and founder of kode80 LLC Ben Hopkins had this to say "I've always been a big fan of the single screen, never-ending type puzzle games. Trying to beat your high score as the screen fills and the speed increases, aiming for bigger scores but then making a mistake that could cost you the game, successfully causing a chain reaction that frees up a enough space to survive just that little bit longer, these are all things I love about these games and wanted to bring to an arcade platformer, the result is Oh Hi! Octopi!".

Oh Hi! Octopi! mixes elements from both puzzle and arcade games for a unique gameplay experience. It features full-resolution pixel art, 60fps framerate, original soundtrack and GameCenter leaderboards. Oh Hi! Octopi! is a universal app and runs great on the first generation iPad, it also supports bluetooth joysticks such as the iCade.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS or higher, iPod touch 3G or higher, iPad
* Requires iOS 4.1 or later
* 7.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Oh Hi! Octopi! will be $1.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store on Thursday September 6, 2012.

Win a Free iPad or iPod touch When You Play Letter Mix LIVE - Published on 09/04/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Bohemia Touch releases new iOS game - Letter Mix LIVE! Starting September 1, 2012 all Letter Mix LIVE players will have a chance to win an iPad or an iPod touch from game developer Bohemia Touch. The three players with the highest score wins. Contest ends December 16th, 2012, 6:00 PM GMT. Featuring online multiplayer game play with lighting fast touch responses, Play against a large selection of opponents while you race to be the first player to solve and unscramble the word.

Smithfield, Rhode Island - Bohemia Touch today is excited to announce the release of their newest iOS word game, Letter Mix LIVE! Featuring online multiplayer game play with lighting fast touch responses, Letter Mix LIVE is sure to have you addicted in no time! Play against a large selection of opponents while you race to be the first player to solve and unscramble the word! Playing is easy - drag the letters on the screen to re-arrange the order and spell the word correctly. The first person to guess the world wins that round!

Letter Mix LIVE expands on the original version of the game by offering "spells" which can be used to confuse your opponent and give you a competitive advantage! If you gather up enough bonus points - called Bohemians - you may be able to purchase some spells which can be used against your opponent! You can even buy Bohemian points directly from within the app! Using the Hint spell re-arranges your letters so that the beginning of the word is spelt correctly.

Using the Glue spell prevents your opponent from guessing the word for a short time by making their letters unmovable. If you think your opponent is winning, you may want to use the Hide spell. This will remove some of the letters from your opponent's screen and slow down their progress. If you really want to confuse your opponent, use the Scramble spell. This will re-arrange the other player's letters forcing them to start over. But be careful - when using the Scramble spell you might just solve the puzzle for them!

Letter Mix LIVE is fully integrated with Apple's Game Center as well as Facebook, making it easier than ever to share your gaming experience with your friends. Now you can challenge your friends in the word game you know and love! Choosing an opponent is simple. Select 'Automatch' to be randomly assigned an opponent, select from a list of your favorite Game Center friends or invite your friends via Facebook or e-mail! In addition, players can choose from a number of game rooms allowing for customizable game play based on performance level, language and more! Increase your experience and gain bonus points by playing every day and asking your friends to join! One game consists of multiple rounds and whoever guesses more words wins the game.

Key Features:
* Fast online multi-player game play
* Support for 4 Languages - English, German, Spanish and Czech
* Spells - gain an advantage over your opponent
* 7 game rooms with varying difficulty
* Facebook Integration - challenging your friends has never been easier

Literacy iPad app - A simple Toolkit that simply delivers - Published on 09/04/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

demografix pty ltd today introduces Literacy 1.0, its new educational solution for iPad devices. Suitable for children to adults, Literacy allows the teacher or parent to prepare lessons using written instructions, unique images and audio instructions, to which the student can respond using written and audio recordings. Literacy takes full advantage of the available technologies within the iPad. Students can learn limited only on what a teacher or parent can create as lessons.

Coolum Beach, Australia - demografix pty ltd is pleased to announce a new educational solution for iPad devices called simply 'Literacy'. Suitable for children to adults, Literacy allows the teacher or parent to prepare lessons using written instructions, unique images and audio instructions, to which the student can respond using written and audio recordings. Students can learn limited only on what a teacher or parent can create as lessons.

Literacy provides the toolkit to create activities and lessons for the development of reading, writing, listening and speaking, viewing and representing. Literacy is 'open scaffold' by design and provides a simple toolkit that simply delivers. Literacy contains the education-approved handwriting fonts used in all UK, US, Australia and New Zealand schools.

Create your own lessons (scrolling sentences using our 'Hold and Scroll' approach) with sounds, images and text and have the students respond via writing or recording audio. Literacy comes packed with example lessons and Whiteboard activities that demonstrate the flexibility of the app. Literacy takes full advantage of the available technologies within the iPad.

Completed lessons can be automatically emailed to the teacher or parent with the student's tracings and recordings included.

The 'Whiteboard' section allows a teacher to draw or import images, with unique audio instructions for tracing or interacting with.

Literacy relies on the ability of the teacher or parent to review the student's work and provide recognition and reward for good work or effort, so the 'bells and whistles' are kept to a minimum. This evaluation is assisted with features such as the 'Reset' button having a counter; traces that are not automatically erased after the app is closed and traces that can be 'replayed'.

Create, save and share your own word lessons, and profiles, with complete control over the management of the lessons, the app and student profiles. Full import and export functions are included for iPad classrooms including Bluetooth file transfers, save and share via email, web, Dropbox and iTunes.

Lock the app into a restricted student mode. In student mode, word lessons cannot be created or deleted and profiles cannot be changed. Other options are available depending on your choices. These include access to the settings and access to any external links.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 4.2 or later
* 18.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Literacy 1.0 is $3.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category. Review copies are available upon request.
