Yesterday, I wrote about this Our Choice's Al Gore for iPad. It's also runn on iPhone and iPod.
Today, here the the presentation by Mike Matas at TED Talks, posted last April.
Software developer Mike Matas talks about demos the first full-length interactive book for the iPad with clever, swipeable video and graphics and some very cool data visualizations to play with.
Mike Matas has worked on some of the most intriguing tech projects of the past 10 years. While at Apple, Mike Matas helped write the user interface for the iPhone and iPad. Now with Push Pop Press, he's helping to rewrite the electronic book.
Al Gore/ Our Choice for iPad and iPhone

Education:
Do you remember my 1st post about iPad features and education July 10, 2010? I wrote "we are looking forward to experiment this amazing media device! Don't you think? It's like love at first site!"
After that, I wrote I would love iPad 2 in the classroom, Some apps for iPad helping education and recently Earth Day 2011: a story about the forest
Reading in the classroom Alice in Wonderland, Prince of Persia, Aesop's Fables or Who cares about the forest? become such a pleasure!

And now Our Choice? I am fascinated! Did you see when Matas blew up on iPad and iPhone and the aeolian turbines moved? Impressive!
Oh! Our students will love it! The new generation of kids is very curious about Climate crisis. And they engaged a lot on Environmental activities in the school.
Talk about new generation of kids and engaging... this 'new generation' of digital book would get even the most recalcitrant students investing in their own learning.
Well, perhaps you already know this presentation. But, to me it is a pleasure to hear the creative Mike Mata explaining how it works.
Even for the students, it might be wonderful to watch this marvellous explanation. They will explore the app in a different dimension.
Mike Matas will be online May 6th, from 1-2:30PM Eastern Standard Time for a live TED Conversation regarding his TED talk and next-generation digital book, Al Gore's "Our Choice".
You can join with your questions.
