23 Mobile Things: Thing: 4 keeping up

Flipboard: I love this app. Great to have access to Twitter and Facebook along with news sources and 2014 Olympic feed. Saves time lost in switching between apps to check social media and news feeds. 

Zite:  not as fond of Zite but perhaps it is because I haven't used it enough to really appreciate the personalization it offers. 

Another personalized news feed is NewsTiles which organizes news items into categories that you set up.  

23 mobile Things: thing 3

I have really enjoyed using StandApp at work the past few days. I have used both the 15 and 30 minute intervals and find the 15 minute interval is a bit too disruptive. Love the standing break exercises though. I think this would be a good app for teacher to use in their classrooms. Being in a high school with 90 minute blocks out students spend a long time sitting. Wonder if our achievement level would increase if we had our students stand and stretch every 30 minutes in class.
