Strong and flexible Achoro iPhone charging cord

If you are anything like me (and my kids) you get frustrated by charging cords that fray and tear, especially since they 

  1. are so expensive
  1. always break at the worst time 
This is why I was happy to test and review this Achoro MFI Certified iPhone and iPad Charger for Tomoson Reviews.  I received this cord in return for my review, but my opinions and observations are honest and unbiased.
 




This cord is, first of all, long! I bought one recently that would not reach from the outlet to the desk, which is a pain! At 1 meter (about 3.3 feet) long, this cord is definitely a great length. Next, I noticed how flexible the cord is; the nylon braided cord is both strong, but very malleable, so it seems like it will withstand coiling and bending. It won't get dry and brittle like plastic does in the heat and cold if it is left in the car!!

The cord ends in reinforced, pliant plugs. The area that always breaks -- just before the lightning plug -- is strong and easy to grasp, as is the USB end. They are, according to the site, reinforced, so they should be stronger than the classic iPhone charging cord. 









Of course, most importantly, the cord works with iPhones and iPads, unlike some non-Apple cords. It is "certified by the developer to meet Apple performance standards". It's not faster than any other, but it works!

I only had a couple of weeks to use this cord, and I cannot say how long it will last without testing for a much longer time. However, judging by feel and appearances, this cord will hopefully outlast the skinny white cords that cost so much! And if it doesn't, there is a 30-day money back guarantee, and a 1-year warranty from the company.

I bought this cord through U.S. Gift Giant, at https://www.pinterest.com/pin/398005685818136027

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...
