ITP Show Picture
Every semester, after the show, the staff and students put ITP back into its normal position and poses for the traditional photo:
Here are the previous photos. Amazing to see how much ITP is growing every year and how Todd’s photos are getting better and better 🙂
Now it's really over :)
Monday and Tuesday the ITP Spring Show was on. I had a great spot to show Pocket Learning. It was very well received and I was flooded with new ideas and potential developments for it. Very exciting. More pictures here.
Thesis Presentation Video
Here’s the video finally!
You can also see all of the ITP Thesis videos here.
Animoto!
Amazing slideshow of your own pictures!! Very cool! Always wanted to build an automatic slideshow like this!
I'm done!? ITP Complete!
Presented my thesis (video coming soon) today and suddenly it really hit that my 2 years at ITP are complete!!
What a ride! Mind opening. Humbling and empowering.
Quoting my friend Kim Grinfeder, “After ITP you will look at technology in a new way.”
Well – it’s not over till it’s over! We still have the ITP Spring Show this Monday and Tuesday where we will be presenting our projects to the visiting crowd!
Amazing 🙂
Pocket Learning – live video and web site
Got a VERY simple site up and running to explain the project:
http://www.pocketlearning.org
Here’s a live video of the application running on the iPhone:
Pocket Learning – thesis paper done!
Thesis Update
Aiming to be finished this Thursday with the paper, presentation and working prototype.
Changed the name from iPhone Classroom to Pocket Classroom.
Now the “official” project web site is www.pocketlearning.org
The paper now has images and is all formatted in Word so posting in PDF from now on. Click HERE for the document.
And a video of the iPhone application’s new version.
Finally, I am also working on the “class creation” tool:
Still need to tie them together and add editing features but for the most part it is functional (reads and writes to the database and so on).
iPhone Dev Bar Camp
This Saturday I participated in a Bar Camp – iPhoneDevCampNYC – at the Polytechnic University in Brooklyn which ran from 10 am to 6pm.
It follows the open source mentality where there was no fixed schedule or preset presentations. Whoever felt like they had something to contribute to the group would lead an hour long session.
We had 5 different rooms we could use at the same time and about 30 people to attend.
I ended up leading two sections, one in iPhone Web Apps – customizing a web page to take advantage of some of the iPhone’s features – and another session on using the iPhone’s camera within your iPhone application – something I figured out how to implement, but had more questions than answers.
Overall it was a great event where I met several interesting people sharing the same enthusiasm about the iPhone and this new gold rush that is happening around it in the development community.
Here are a few pictures:
