Zinc Alloy Fast Charging Cable from US Gift Giant

People who know me know that I like my Apple devices! I have an Apple watch, iPhone, iPad, iPod, MacBook....I like all of my devices to play together! But having so many toys means that one or more is always in need of a charge, and let's just say that charging cords tend to disappear  around my house!

 I was very happy with my purchase from US Gift Giant of a Zinc Alloy Fast Charging Cable, through the Tomoson review site. 

 (https://usgiftgiant.com/zinc-alloy-fast-charging-cable-for-iphone-ipad-quick-charging-premium-quality-data-transfer-and-charging-cable-for-iphone-ipad-unique-design-fast-charging-cable-for-iphone-ipad/?ctk=273770b1-010e-4da8-a5cd-004539e6bdd5)

 Right away, I was impressed by the sturdiness of the cord; it appears to be about a third thicker than my old standard charging cords. And the plugs at either end are well-connected, not wimpy. Many of my charging cords fray near the plug, and it looks like this one will stand up to daily use better than the rest.
I tested the speed of the cord in what I though was a pretty fair comparison. I let my iPad and iPhone reach about the same low battery percentage, then plugged them both in, the iPhone to the Fast Charging Cable, the iPad to a standard one that came with the device. I used the same type of power adapter, in the same outlet. The iPhone charged about 30% faster, reaching 90% capacity while the iPad had only achieved 60%.  To double check, the next time I let them both run down, and reversed the connections; again, the one plugged into the Zinc Alloy Fast Charging Cable was about 30% faster.

 This isn't mind-blowing speed, but every minute helps when you are ready to go somewhere and your phone battery is low! 

 I am please with the cost, the quality and the performance of the charging cord. 

 So much so that I am going to hide it from family members, so that it doesn't walk away, like other cords have done.....

Thing 6 - Curation!

Curation! was the title of Joyce Valenza's keynote address and workshop at the 2012 NYLA/SSL Conference, and she introduced the word to hundreds of librarians in one swoop! I have to admit, I was feeling pretty self-satisfied at the time; after all, I had a fat and happy Delicious file, full of handy sites for all occasions. Why, I even searched for useful links through Delicious, adding and sharing with colleagues. Now I see that I am like the old librarian who collects hundreds of back issues of magazines, certain that they will "come in handy some day!". Curation is so much more of a Web3.0 tool: creating web content more than gathering it. So I gave Scoop.It another try. Diigo had scared me away with its daily updates in my email, and Pinterest is my guilty pleasure/personal-rather-than-educational site. I began following other Scoop-ers, three topics, and added a button to my toolbar. I even connected it to my Twitter feed, so that I can post Scoops there...

Terrific sofa cover - for the right sofa!

We go through sofa covers with alarming speed.  I think we are on the sixth one in two dogs...And Ashton totally shredded one in a month!!   Since Kenzie has claimed the off-white sofa as her own,    I need to keep it protected. But it is hard to keep the cover on - Since she is so “active, I need to use upholstery pins to keep the cover in place! Would you believe that she bent every one of the pins, and they all came loose?  That's why I thought that this sofa cover ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M32JJM2 ) would be the solution to our problems, since it has rolls that tuck in between the cushions and the frame to keep it in place, and a nice strap that wraps around the back of the sofa as well to keep the back covered.  However, I failed to measure and check the dimensions accurately, and the cover is far too small for Kenzie's sofa - which, admittedly, is a large one. We usually need two protective covers to go from ...

Thing 7: Podcasting and Screencasting

I am afraid that I approached this Thing with a little less enthusiasm than I should. You see, I am familiar with, and love ScreenR, ever since it helped me publish ALL of the 3rd graders' Blabberize Biography projects on one, easy to view page . I tried AudioBoo this week, as a test for an upcoming project: listen to ‘Test’ on Audioboo I am excited about the project, but not about AudioBoo. The students will be recording Book Reviews, and we will try to link them to the Online Library Catalog. With AudioBoo, they can only post one picture. Last year we used GarageBand to record reviews with 4th graders, and the result was less than satisfactory. The students spent more time struggling with the technology than they did learning about the book, or enjoying the project. The process strangled the project. We have decided this year to go low-tech, and use PhotoStory for this project. The students can post a few pictures about the book (the teacher wants 5 or mo...
