Playing a game on (big)screen with your mobile phone

On wise.com I came across this idea a while ago. Megaphone has found a way to attract more people to a big (screen) ad. On a screen you see a game, in which you can participate yourself by calling in and using your phone as a gamecontroller. Nice huh?

Freshcut: fabrics by Heather Bailey

As you know I´m working on some interior accessoiries from my own hand... These fabrics brought me inspiration and thought I´d share.

Check out more fabrics by Heather Bailey at her Freshcut website.

Moshi Monsters - great concept!

Came across Moshi Monsters and instantly fell in love! This concept is great. The website looks very good. Who wouldn't want to adopt a monster like this?

But before you can adopt a monster, you need to have a secret code. And the secret code only comes with a MoPod. Smart, isn't it? It's not a stupid thing you need to buy or get somewhere, but it's a nice gimmick.

Your phone will never be lonely with a Moshi Monster guiding it... I'm waiting for mine to be shipped in January (ordered Diavlo).

Thanks for sending this through Vinzl!

HotChalk - online platform for teachers, students and parents

A very interesting platform was launched in the educational area. It's called HotChalk and is ment for teachers, kids and/or students and parents.

Teachers can find their school in the database. When they join, they can create pages for their own class(es):

They can give their students assignments, put downloads on the site, give an overview of when they'll be having this class, the kids/students can discuss with their teacher about all kinds of topics related to the class, etc.

Teachers need to invite their students to the class' page. The students can only log in using a specific class code. So much is possible on this platform. Also parents can log in and see their kids' grades, for example.

Find this a very interesting initiative, can imagine this makes a lot of things so much easier.  Why would you use your agenda to write down your homework, when you have this?

Also spotted on Springwise.com a while ago :)
