How to Start Creating Your Own Moral Inventory Using Life Inventory App

Revere, MA    Jun 05, 2012

[prMac.com] Revere, Massachusetts - Indie developer James Hollender provides jump start instructions on how to begin your own Moral Inventory using either of his two Life Inventory apps (one for the iPhone or iPod touch; and another for the iPad). Originally designed for persons participating in 12-Step programs, it has since been discovered that a Moral Inventory can help anyone analyze their life to learn more about themselves than ever imagined possible ... and at only a small fraction the cost of a single visit to a therapist.

First, some general information about the Life Inventory apps:

The process of completing a Life Inventory does not directly address anyone's specific problems or addictions, but rather helps the user examine in detail events that have transpired in their life. The Life Inventory app gently assists the user in probing into not only what happened, but also why it happened. The questions asked help the user delve into areas often never considered before, like:

* What did I want?
* Why did I want it?
* What am I not admitting?
* What lie did I tell myself?
* What did I leave out or not say?
* What lie did I tell others?
* Have I ever done the same thing?
* Was it any of my business?
* Were my expectations reasonable?
* What was the real truth?
* What was I not seeing?
* Did I fail to see the facts of the situation?
* What actions did I take to get what I wanted?
* What actions did I omit to get what I wanted?

Each Life Inventory app guides the user through six different steps, each with its own activity grouping, for making a Life Inventory in writing:

* Build Lists
* Causes and Effects
* My Part
* Fears Analysis
* Fear Questions
* Sex Relations

To get started, it is best to read through all the on-line documentation as it will provide useful information on how to navigate throughout the app, how to backup and/or restore your data, how to set a password.

Now to start entering data ...

Building Lists - The first thing users will enter are entities (people, organizations, etc.), but these need to be entered in their appropriate sub-category. If a new sub-category needed., in the "Enter List Sub-Categories" activity users press the " " button for the selected Category and then enter the name of the new Sub-Category. Once that's completed they can create Entities using the "Edit Entities in Lists" activity. At any time they can use the "View Lists Hierarchy" to see the hierarchy of Categories, Sub-Categories and Entities.

It is highly suggested users make their complete lists of Entities before entering any Incidents (things of concern that happened in their life).

Causes & Effects - The "Edit Incidents for Entities" activity is where users add specific Incidents (Causes) to each Entity. Again, it is highly suggested this activity be completed for all Entities before getting into any details, which starts in the "Determine Effects" activity. Similar to the Build Lists "View Lists Hierarchy" there is now a "View Lists Hierarchy with Incidents" listing available to help users get an overview of their progress.

Marking Records - Initially Incidents and other records as marked as Unmarked. The user can take advantage of changing the marked value to either Needs Review or Completed. When appropriate, the user can move forward or backward through their records by the status of the markings, e.g., search forward to the next Unmarked record.

My Part - Finally, in the "Examination of My Part" activity much more detailed information is allowed to be entered in the form of answering specific questions, some of which are hard to answer because they will be probing into aspects of Incidents users may never have thought about before.

This is more than enough to get the user well into creating their own Life (Moral) Inventory.

Now for some additional information:

Throughout the process, users are encouraged to write out their Inventory, be completely honest about themselves and take advantage of encouragement and support.

As stated above, the Inventory begins by one simple list, which defines four fixed Categories in which to file away what are broadly categorized as Incidents:

* People
* Institutions and Organizations
* Principles, Ideals and Beliefs
* Sources of Anxiety and Excitement

Each of the four Categories will contain hierarchical sub-categories. From there, users outline Entities and then individual Incidents associated with those Entities.

Step-by-step, users complete the Causes and Effects of each Incident. Next, users determine the part they played in each Incident listed. It is not unusual to create hundreds of Incident forms, each devoted to a single incident. The app includes the ability to create and save all written lists and forms with password protection. Having completed all their Incident forms, users can refer to these forms to help list all their Fears. The app includes the following eight pre-defined fears, to which the user is free to add:

* Other people's opinions
* Not getting what I want
* Not having control of the situation
* Financial insecurity
* Abandonment
* Physical harm
* Failure
* Success

The fifth step is examining each Fear category and answering the following key questions:

* Why did I have this fear?
* When did I first notice this fear in my life?
* How did I hold on to this fear?
* What did this fear make me do?
* What chain of circumstances did this fear set in motion in my life?
* How did I react to this fear?
* What decision did this fear cause me to make?
* How did self-reliance fail me?
* What should I have done instead?

And the sixth and final step is examining Sex Relations, where users answer all the following questions regarding each of their sexual relationships:

* How was I selfish?
* Where was I dishonest?
* Where was I inconsiderate?
* Who was hurt in this situation?
* Did I arouse jealousy, suspicion, or bitterness?
* Where was I at fault?
* What should I have done instead?
* What will I do in the future?
* Did I pray or have spiritual conversations with him/her?
* Did I pray for him/her?
* Did I enjoy his/her company?
* Did we bring each other closer to God?

"The process of completing a Life Inventory doesn't directly address anyone's specific problems or addictions, but rather helps the user examine in detail events that have transpired in their life," stated indie developer James Hollender. "The Life Inventory apps gently assist the user in probing into not only what happened, but also why it happened."

Device Requirements:
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later (iOS 5 tested)
* Current version 2.1
* Size: Life Inventory 4.7 MB; Life Inventory for iPad 8.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Each Life Inventory app is $9.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Lifestyle category. A Lite version of each app is $1.99, a supplement that provides a mock Moral Inventory from which the user can learn by example and experimentation. Review copies are available on request.

1000s downloading free children's app about invention of Internet

Victoria (BC),  CA   May 22, 2012

[prMac.com] Victoria (BC) Canada - How was the Internet really invented? And what is the link to schoolyard bullying? Cool to be Clever, an iPad app for youngsters that combines biography with video interviews, anti-bullying resources and pre-Internet documents, has been downloaded by thousands of families and schools from 50 countries. Awareness is quickly spreading, fanned by enthusiastic reviews from "mommy-bloggers" and children's app review sites.

This breakthrough app - the first extensively enhanced ebook app of its genre - is based on the true story of Edson C. Hendricks, the genius who invented the design for the Internet. The story was written by Leanne Jones, a former primary school teacher who is now a private detective. The app was developed by Agio Studios of Victoria, BC, Canada. Hendricks himself was recruited to narrate the story and appears in 12 video interviews on topics such as "People who are different," "Predicting the future at IBM," "Being bullied" and "Advice to today's programmers." Jones composed and performed the musical score.

"We were delighted to include up-to-date resources on bullying prevention graciously provided by the Red Cross, the Council for Exceptional Children and the US Technical Assistance Center on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports," says app producer and director Bruce Batchelor. "There is amazing progress being made at schools across North America."

Carisa Kluver of digital-storytime.com rated COOL as 5 stars out of 5: "This is truly a must-download title. My highest recommendation! Overall, this is a phenomenal title that presents non-fiction content in a more modern way, letting kids explore and learn at their own pace, with or without narration. This title would be great for lessons on bullying, the Internet, biography and more ..."

"Terrific... wonderful... fascinating... inspiring... Cool to be Clever is a unique e-book and a great read for older children and adults. There's inspiration here in Edson's genius, creativity and his stand against bullying." - review by Heather Leister at iPhoneMom

"Cool to be Clever is a wonderful biography for iPad... This is a very nicely written application, narrated effortlessly by Hendricks himself, who has a wonderful speaking voice reminding me of a less flamboyant Spaulding Gray, making him a great talent in re-telling his own story... A terrific learning tool that not only teaches about the history of the Internet but may also whet the appetite of children for other biographies of interesting people... this app articulates that life can get better for those bullied during their childhood years, making this a story worth telling in homes and schools, especially within gifted classrooms." - Amy Solomon at GiggleApps.

"Cool to be Clever is an inspiring story that no parent or teacher should pass up and is highly recommended for children of all ages." - AppsOnTapp

"This is a great book app. It teaches kids how to be resilient in a tough situation, and how to continuously pursuit your dream. Even parents can learn something new. With all these, it is FREE. Can you believe that?" - iGameMom

"App of the Day: Cool to be Clever! (Holy Crud, this is FREE?) This app combines history, computers, the Internet and some powerful messaging about bullying - all into one big nerd-friendly package." - Deanne at Smart Apps for Kids

"4.5 stars out of 5." - AppTudes

For the true geek, this app contains a treasure trove of historical materials, including "Evolution of a Virtual Machine Subsystem", the 1979 IBM Systems Journal article by Hendricks and Tim Hartmann chronicling the technical development of VNET in the early 1970s into a world-wide network almost a decade before the Internet was launched. There are dozens of Hendricks' anecdotes about creating VNET and meetings with Vint Cerf and other scientists, plus trip reports, internal memos and documents detailing IBM's bungled opportunity to control worldwide computer communications. There is even a 160k log of pre-Internet emails between scientists debating computer standards.

Joining IBM's Cambridge Scientific Center shortly after graduating from MIT, Edson Hendricks developed RSCS (later known as VNET), fundamental software that powered the world's largest network (or network of networks) prior to the Internet and which directly influenced both Internet development and user acceptance of networking between independently managed organizations. Within IBM, the resulting network later became known as VNET and grew to 4000 nodes. In the academic community, VNET formed the base for BITNET which extended to 500 organizations and 3,000 nodes. VNET was also the networking design underpinning EARN in Europe, NETNORTH in Canada, and USENET/UUNET at numerous universities.

Edson Hendricks now lives in San Diego, California. Since his retirement from computer programming, he has contributed to revised scientific understanding of puzzles such as the origins of Earth's water and where do tektites come from (his papers on these topics are included in Cool to be Clever). He is available for interviews.

"People ask why we've made this amazing app free," says Batchelor. "We were fortunate in getting funding from patrons who believed deeply that learning materials can be developed that work for many learning styles, and are engaging and inspiring. We wanted to create an experience that is truly excellent. The reviews suggest that we succeeded in setting a new standard. Then our funders said to make the app free - it used to be $2.99 - their gift to children all over the world."

"I'm hoping other developers will be inspired to create other robust and innovative educational apps, hopefully free as well. We're currently raising funds for an app about vocal technique coaching, finding one's authentic voice and the Ubuntu community choirs movement. The underlying concept is that anyone and everyone can sing," adds Batchelor. "Our plan is to create a steady stream of apps that will be amazing, inspiring and free."

Device Requirements:

* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 4.2 or later
* 365 MB

Pricing and Availability:

Cool to be Clever: Edson Hendricks 1.0.2 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Books category.

The Social Express is based on best practices and programs that feature cognitive behavioral techniques and visual strategies including Social Stories (Gray, 2002), Comic Strip Conversations (Gray ,1994), the Alert Program (Williams & Shellenberger, 1996), The Incredible 5 Point Scale (Buron & Curtis, 2003), The Hidden Curriculum (Myles, Trautman and Schelvan, 2004), Thinking about YOU Thinking about ME (Winner, 2007) and other professionals working with children with Autism Spectrum Disorders.

How Does it Work?
Fully-animated interactive lessons and high-quality printables target many of the skills children and young adults need to learn in order to successfully navigate our social world.

Who Can it Help?
Our innovative software targets core social deficit areas that stand in the way of school, social, and life success for children and young adults with social learning challenges such as autism, Asperger's and ADHD.

Play Lessons:
The Social Express comes with 16 interactive lessons featuring 30 scenes that are divided into two skill levels. Skill Level 1 targets younger users and/or those who have more difficulty understanding social situations.

Each skill level ends with an interactive review of the Hidden Social Keys that have been learned during the preceding lessons, followed by a congratulatory presentation of a key that unlocks the Clubhouse.

Improve Writing Skills Over Summer With Niles Technology Mobile Apps

Charlottesville, VA    May 16, 2012

[prMac.com] Charlottesville, Virginia - Summer is an excellent time to get ready for the next school year. With more college and high school students attending summer sessions than ever before, Niles Writing apps for iPad and iPhone are perfect for making sure students get the most out of composition and remedial writing courses. Based on a critical thinking pedagogy, Niles apps emphasize the understanding of the audience and the use of logical, scaffolding argument construction. Niles apps effectively teach writing fundamentals.

Schools and parents use summer sessions for student skills improvement. Writing has become a focal point because it is the lowest scoring section of most standardized tests, particularly the SAT. The problem identified as most troublesome is development of a consistent writing process. This is not surprising because schools have to deal with students of varying skill, and it is difficult to give individual instruction. Niles Technology apps are a solution for schools to effectively and to efficiently give each student a dependable writing methodology. The apps also assist parents wanting to further develop their children's writing skills outside the formal school environment.

Specificity is what separates Niles Technology apps from other mobile writing products. Each essay assignment is unique and only teaching students a few generic essay protocols explains why many get stumped by more complex writing prompts; generic instructions help but so much. There is nothing generic about Niles Technology apps. With instructions for over forty types of essays, there is a critically structured guideline for just about any writing assignment. Student reviews speak for themselves, and you are invited to visit our website to see what students are saying.

Parents, teachers and schools are discovering the efficacy of Niles Technology apps. Each month, school volume purchases of the apps increase, which indicates that the use of mobile technology in schools is becoming more commonplace. Parents are also catching on because Essay Workstation 2.1 is the No. 1 gifted app in the Niles inventory. Middle School Writing 1.0 and High School Writing 3.0 are virtually tied as solid No. 2 bestsellers, with both parents and schools purchasing the apps. The Niles app catalog can be seen in the App Store by simply entering "Niles" in the iTunes search.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 3.0 or later (iOS 4.0 Tested)
* 2.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Essay Writing Workstation 2.1 is $24.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

Barnyard Bluegrass Named Best Kids' App Pick by Parenting Magazine

Portland, OR    Apr 28, 2012

[prMac.com] Portland, Oregon - With hundreds of new kids' apps appearing on the App Store each day, finding the next great one can be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Then again, if you're lucky, you may just hear it singing a familiar tune. Today, Barnyard Bluegrass, already the recipient of many glowing reviews from education and parenting blogs, received some resounding applause when named a "Best Kids' App Pick" by Parenting's Technology Staff. Barnyard Bluegrass is indeed like nothing else on the App Store, delivering loads of authentic bluegrass music and learning in a variety of engaging ways.

Full App Description:

Are you tired of hearing the same torturous music from your child's favorite app? Barnyard Bluegrass is here to help! This lovable band of animated farm animals comes equipped with banjos, fiddles, basses, mandolins and guitars and they aren't afraid to use them. Offering seven complete songs - with accompanying read along lyrics - children can enjoy fantastic on-demand music using an interface simple enough for a toddler. Perhaps more importantly, parents may find themselves asking to turn the volume up, rather than down.
As if that wasn't enough, there are three other areas of the app where visitors can delve deeper into the genre and make music of their own. Users can select an instrument and play it using a simple one-finger controller, read about the instruments and hear samples, or head to the farmer's porch and jam with the entire band. Each area offers a different perspective on the music and gives young learners plenty of room to explore and create.

Tapping into children's existing love of song, Barnyard Bluegrass offers "yee-haw worthy" renditions of classics like Old MacDonald, Turkey in the Straw, and Hole in the Bucket. For a more traditional taste of the style, there are several ageless bluegrass standards, namely: Pig in a Pen, Blue Railroad Train, Cluck Old Hen, and Nine Pound Hammer.

To bring this much loved genre to life, we called upon Astrograss, a fixture in both the New York City Bluegrass and Kids Music Scene, to perform and record just those tunes that would best connect to young users. All music was recorded and mixed at Inner Harbor Studios, NYC and was mastered specifically for Apple devices.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 3.2 or later
* 16.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Barnyard Bluegrass is available in both LITE(free) and FULL ($1.99) versions and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

Talking Car Zippy Features:
* Talk to Zippy and he'll repeat what you say in his funny voice
* Poke his eyes and he'll scream
* Touch his body - first time he'll coo, second time he'll laugh and third time he'll be mad at you
* Touch his tires to give him a flat tire
* Let him park, open the door for you and take you for a spin
* Ignore him and he'll start looking for you and yawn
* Honk at him and see his reactions
