]]>The second annual EdTech Summit South Africa will take place between 2 and 13 August 2014.
This year Summit organisers will provide free and quality professional development to over 1000
teachers across five provinces, working in under-served schools in Johannesburg, Jane Furse,
Ladysmith, Durban, Cape Town and East London.
EdTech Summit South Africa 2014 will build on the success of the 2013 Summit, which saw over
240 educators attend and begin to adopt technology into their teaching and learning. The EdTech
Summit Team believes that teachers who are motivated and trained can cross generations of
barriers to bring excitement, innovation and measurable learning experiences into their
classrooms.
A technology training summit geared to improve education
The Summit will deliver training and development programmes in hands-on workshop format to
educators working in township, urban and rural schools across South Africa. Many of these
teachers have had limited exposure to and experience with technology, but hope to bring it into
their classrooms and schools to better serve the education needs and interests of their learners.
The Summit intends to help address the inequalities in education in South Africa by enabling
educators in under-resourced schools the opportunity to develop their own 21
teaching methodologies and instructional strategies. These educators will then take these
innovative skills, strategies and tools back into their classrooms to benefit learners in local
communities.
International presentation team
The EdTech Summit South Africa Team is a collaborative partnership between Edunova, K2
Productions Global, LEAP Science and Maths Schools, and Teach With Africa; four organisations
seeking to grow the confidence and skills of South African educators in the integration of
technology into their teaching. An international team of education technology professionals,
including local South African experts, will travel around the country to share skills and deliver
multi-track workshops geared to exposing educators to technology options available in
highly-funded schools around the world.

]]>The post Inspire Design Winners Add Glitz to the Trade Expo appeared first on Book Of Swag.
]]>The inaugural Samsung Inspire Design winners were unveiled at the Inspire Trade Expo, hosted at Gallagher Convention Centre (GCC) in Midrand recently. This annual premium fair, with more than 300 exhibitors and an influx of international buyers, provided the perfect platform to showcase the eight Samsung Inspire Design winners and their products.
Samsung’s Inspire Design competition was launched to unleash the potential of individuals in various creative categories while encouraging individualism, originality and true self-expression. Up-and-coming designers were asked to enter their designs in one of four categories including jewellery, fashion, furniture home and décor, for an opportunity to take their careers to the next level. It was Samsung’s first ever design talent search programme in South Africa and was based on the company’s global strategy to strengthen its commitment to unleash the dreams, passions and potential of individuals with brilliant ideas through innovative technology.
“We launched this initiative to support and nurture talent across the creative spectrum and offer a platform for the winners to be discovered. We are extremely pleased to have collaborated with the Inspire Trade Expo team, who share our passion to recognise the potential of these designers. The eight winners had an amazing time and received valuable exposure, from industry buyers and influencers, which we believe will open doors for them in the future,” said Michelle Potgieter, Director of Corporate Marketing and Communications at Samsung Electronics SA.
The Expo attracted thousands of visitors and provided an opportunity for both buyers and sellers to conduct business, network and discover the latest and most innovative trends in the design industry. Delegates and corporate procurement experts from across the continent are known to come to South Africa as a favourite sourcing destination for locally produced goods.
“The Inspire Expo was a huge success displaying the most up-to-date trends in the industry. The Samsung Inspire Design stand attracted an array of buyers and provided the winners and their products with a considerable amount of exposure,” said Rita Fortmann, Managing Director of Inspire Trade Expo.
Thato Radebe, one of Samsung’ Inspire Design competition winners commented: “I am delighted to have been able to be part of this initiative. It has been an amazing journey and thanks to Samsung I am able to showcase my designs to a wider audience. I realise that with hard work and determination, I can develop my talent and one day, return to this beautiful exhibition in my own right.”
The entries were judged by a panel of renowned names in the design sphere that included Ryan Bakos, Kirsten Goss, Shaldon Kopman and Susan Slee. Submissions, which ranged from futuristic to classic, captured the essence of the campaign and highlighted the creative flair and diversity of the talent that exists in South Africa.
“It is important for me to assist aspiring designers to establish a name for themselves and start their careers. As a fashion designer, I am keen on diversifying the economy and promoting this sector among the younger generation. I believe that Samsung’s initiative has helped us to achieve that,” said fashion icon and Inspire Design judge, Shaldon Kopman, of NakedApe.
Samsung’s Inspire Design exhibition stand was also honoured with the Gold Award from the event organisers. The prize criterion was based on a number of factors including visual appeal, design and originality.
“Our innovation philosophy truly came to life at the Inspire Trade Expo. Samsung is also delighted to have been recognised with the much sought-after Gold Award for the exhibition stand created to display the products of the Samsung Inspire Design competition winners. The local design industry has gained increased momentum in recent years and we are thrilled to have been in a position to offer these promising designers this opportunity and we look forward to see them achieve great success in the future,” concludes Potgieter.

]]>Razer™, the world leader in entertainment devices and software, today announced its much-anticipated Razer Junglecat™ gamepad for iOS devices. Leveraging its significant experience developing high-performance gaming controllers for console and PC, Razer’s entrée into mobile phone hardware offers consumers a combination of gaming-grade control and customizability with unimpeded phone access.
The Razer Junglecat’s engineering team shaved every millimeter possible in the controller’s design to ensure it molds seamlessly with the sleek profile of the iPhone. The result is an ultra-durable slider that reveals or hides the gamepad as desired. With a full set of gaming functions resident in the Razer Junglecat’s AXBY pressure-sensitive buttons, D-pad and bumpers, on screen controls are eliminated, leaving valuable screen real estate free.
Users can leave the Razer Junglecat attached, as all buttons and ports remain available in its pocket-ready compact form. At only 20 mm thin, the controller feels like a standard protective case.
The Razer Junglecat comes with a downloadable iOS app that lets users remap and define all of its button functions, as well as adjust pressure sensitivity according to preference. Up to 20 personalized profiles can be stored on the app, allowing users to select a corresponding profile for their favorite games. Whether it is custom sensitivity for an adrenaline-pumping racing game or an array of programmed keybinds for an intense adventure game, the Razer Junglecat iOS companion app will allow users to tailor their gaming experiences.
As an MFi product, the Razer Junglecat is enabled for the latest features of Apple devices recently announced at WWDC. Game Controller Forwarding, for instance, will allow the Razer Junglecat and iPhone 5/5s to act as a wireless controller for larger-screen Apple products.
The chore of finding games for iOS controllers is made easy with the Razer Junglecat iOS companion app, as well. The software keeps gamers up-to-date on the latest titles optimized for controller play, scouring the entire App Store for titles that are perfect for a player and his or her iOS controller—whether it is a Razer Junglecat or another brand’s iOS compatible controller.
“Game development is cascading into mobile with incredible production values and at a record pace, and the crossover of console gamers playing on their iOS and other mobile devices is growing in stride,” says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder, CEO and creative director. “The opportunity to design a sleek, high-performance gamepad controller for the iPhone was an exciting proposition that we can’t wait to share with our community and the world.”

]]>The post Review: Samsung Galaxy Note 3 appeared first on Book Of Swag.
]]>The Galaxy Note 3 is one of if not the best Phablet to date. Not only is it thinner and lighter than previous Notes, it gives off the illusion of being smaller thanks to a thinned down bezel. This is in spite of the fact that the screen is actually larger than previous generations of Note, measuring 5.7in. This comes with a bump in resolution to 1080p, which combines with the excellent AMOLED technology to make for a crisp, gorgeous display that is bright enough to read in direct sunlight.
Under the hood of the Note 3 sits some very powerful hardware.There is a quad core Snapdragon 800 processor running at 2.3GHz, full LTE support and 32MB of memory as standard. Like its predecessors the handset houses a stylus, which we found doesn’t get as much use as you’d expect, but is always there if you need the precision that it brings. It also brings the IR blaster functionality of the Galaxy S4 to the Note range, which turns the handset into a universal remote. It also is one of the first handset’s we have seen with native support for USB 3. This means that the USB port at the bottom of the phone is wider than the standard micro USB, but is actually completely compatible if you don’t have a USB 3 cable on hand – we found it charged slower when connected to a standard micro USB cable, and obviously transferred files at a lower speed, but you don’t actually need to replace your accessories just because the port at the bottom has changed.
Like most modern smartphones the Note 3 is designed for daily recharging, although we found in our tests that heavy usage didn’t have you rushing to recharge midway through a day. With LTE running and Bluetooth active, the massive 3200mAh battery still had 47% charge after 12 hours of use.
While we are sceptical of benchmark results, thanks to some websites discovering that the Note 3 ramped up its CPU speed when it detected a benchmark running, the results are fantastic and in our time using the handset we never felt that the phone lacked grunt. For reference, we saw a quadrant score of 17386 and a Geekbench score of 3996.
The Note 3 is an excellent evolution of the series and is by far our favourite large-screen phone. It is powerful, long lasting and has some noticeable improvements over the previous Notes. Ultimately its suitability will come down to whether or not the form factor is suitable for your needs – we know enough people in the pro- and anti-Phablet camps to try and make that decision for you. But if you want a larger screen than standard, and are prepared for the compromises that feature brings, the Note 3 is far and away the best option. Yet another truly excellent piece of hardware from Samsung.
