Ed-Reader App for iOS
These versions of the App are designed for the busy and "on the move" educational professional who wants to keep up-to-date with the latest education news and information provided by key organisations via their iPhone® or iPad®.
Both versions of the iOS App are ideal for leaders and managers, teachers and other professional educators in primary, secondary and special schools in the UK as well as school improvement professionals and parents, guardians and others with an interest in education. The Apps are easy to use and clicking on the links within the listed newsfeeds will display the full content from the organisation's website and the URL can be shared by email or via two social networks.
The professional version for iOS (version 4.1 upwards) shares the same functionality as the other Apps within our Ed-Reader App series. The App works with iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G, iPod touch® and the iPad (in iPhone emulator mode). From the tab bar, bank buttons access the 15 pre-selected RSS feeds from key organisations via:
- the BBC's education news*
- the Department of Education (five RSS feeds)*
- The Telegraph newspaper's education news*
- the Office for Standards in Education (three RSS feeds)*
- the National College (three feeds)*
- the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust*
- the Office for Qualifications and Examinations Regulation*
Two screen shots from the App are shown above. The main screen displays an RSS feed and the other shows the options to share the originating website article via email or through two social networks - Facebook and Twitter. The two App versions share the same functionality as the other Apps in our Ed-Reader App series.
The "slimline" version of Ed-Reader (v1.2) now in the App Store includes just three pre-selected RSS feeds via the BBC, the Department for Education (DFE) and the Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted).
