Flipboard

Yesterday I downloaded an app called Flipboard. It is a neat little app that changes up websites like facebook and twitter. The app itself has no way to produce anything new. It is merely wrapping other websites in new packaging. If you are bored with the current facebook layout or tired of the bland twitter screen just download this free app for a fresh experience.

Ipad

A lot of people are talking about ipad and how they are or aren't useful in school. I saw one app that seemed really useful. It is called Evernote and it is free. With Evernote you will never lose your notes because its on your ipad instead of that collection of paper thrown about your room. Hopefully you won't lose your ipad or else your out a lot of money as well as all your notes.

School Schedules

My high school is working on revising the class schedule. The current schedule is very rigid. The only thing that changes is the each day a different class get an extra thirty minutes. This slight change is more of a punishment than a pleasant change of pace. Most people I have talked to despise the schedule because it makes the day so monotonous. I think the schedule needs a total overhaul.
I recommend that we use a rotating schedule. So for the first day the schedule would look like 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and then the next day would be 7,1,2,3,4,5,6. This rotation would continue over a seven day period then it would repeat. There should be no long period because that class is simply the class to skip for most students.
