I do not receive payment for profiling innovative
educational tools / I do hope that this is one purpose of this list [?]

Subject: Re: Can You See Me Now ? 8X Telescope For iPhone 3G / 3GS
This is the second recent post
from Prof McKiernan. I don’t myself see that the postings have much
relevance to chemistry education.
It’s one thing to
keep members of the list updated with items that we might use in teaching, but
what do we make of…
“Just In Time For
Thanksgiving”
“Want to turn your
iPhone to superb stuff?”
“Recommend of

“>>> Ships

“Links To Supplier Site”
…and so on. If Prof McKiernan has original ideas about
how we can use an iphone in the lab, that’s great - let’s hear his
suggestions.
However, the links to the supplier site take us through the
Prof’s own site, which makes me a wee bit suspicious. If he just wants to
tell us what we might buy the kids for Christmas (and perhaps by directing us
to a supplier from his web site is picking up a finder’s fee as well)
I’d prefer he sent the adverts elsewhere.
