ScreenCloze is an educational program that allows you to create and use customized interactive features to help teach students language skills.

Examples included give help with contractions, the difference between "to, too, and two," words that sound alike, and more.

iCartoon allows users to make and export animations. Its not intended for pros but for educational and didactical purpose.

iCartoon is based on Quick Time System suitable for every platform and video application. iCartoon exports in QuickTime format DV size for a perfect partnership with iMovie.

Working with iMovie you can add sound, voices, titles and special effects to your cartoon.

Its very easy! Every cartoon is made of scenes and actors. A scene is a static picture; it can be realized with iCartoon or imported. You can also use photos,video-camera pictures or imported from a scanner. An animation is made of frames that, if copied, gives movement.

MacStumbler is a utility to display information about nearby 802.11b and 802.11g wireless access points. It is mainly designed to be a tool to help find access points while traveling, or to diagnose wireless network problems.
Additionally, MacStumbler can be used for "wardriving", which involves co-ordinating with a GPS unit while traveling around to help produce a map of all access points in a given area.
MacStumbler emulates the functionality of projects like netstumbler, bsd-airtools, and kismet.
Its meant purely for educational or auditing purposes, although many people enjoy using these types of programs to check out how many WiFi (wireless) networks are in their area, usually known as "war driving".
MacStumbler only works with AirPort wireless cards, it does not (yet) work with any PCMCIA or USB wireless devices.
To enhance the scanning results, many wardrivers like to use external antennas to increase the range. The new iBooks and Titanium PowerBooks both contain an antenna built into the screen (which can provide much better range than standard PCMCIA cards by themselves). This built-in antenna is directional, I find my iBook gets the best signal when the screen is facing away from the access point.
Enhancements:
Fixed bugs:
- "Unexepectedly quit" error at startup
- Window correctly remembers position
- Toolbar remembers configuration

PlayerWeigher was inspired by a classroom lesson I observed. It provides students a simple interface for entering and comparing the data of athletes of a sport using different techniques that can yield completely different results.
PlayerWeigher is a educational tool that introduces statistical analysis for students.

An example file containing player data from MLB is provided.

B-Tree is an educational tool for showing the operations of a B-Tree. More specifically, it graphically demonstrates the B-Tree node layout, key value searching, node deletions, node additions, and splay balancing.

It also provides a description of the processes.

The online course, Pharmacokinetics and Biopharmaceutics, http://www.boomer.org/c/p4/, uses a number of applets to illustrate various principles including the development of dosing regimens.
A number of these applets have been gathered into this one widget for easier display and use.
This widget should only be used for educational or self-study purposes.
Enhancements:
- removed six applets and added one applet for chapter 5.

I created the DecoderRing app for a lesson plan I was to make for my Curriculum and Instruction 302 class at the University of Illinois @ Urbana-Champaign. The inspiration behind this app (and its main purpose) is to be a way to introduce the properties of functions and inverses.
Enhancements:
- Fixed strange behavior with mappings from one letter to multiple letters greater than 2.
- Added drawer that contains found problems for decoding and encoding
- Improved instructional messages when checking a submitted error
- Created better Teacher ReadMe.rtf file
- Changed help sheet data to present a student with instructions instead of just displaying the Teacher ReadMe.rtf file.
