StudyCell(TM) Submits Provisional Patent Application for its “Make Your Own” Mobile Flashcard System
Berkeley, CA (ContentDesk) August 15, 2006 - StudyCell(TM) (www.StudyCell.com), a company dedicated to making educational software for cell phones, announced that it has submitted a provisional patent application to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for its mobile flashcard system.
StudyCell(TM) offers pre-made mobile flashcard decks for studying a variety of subjects (languages, math, history, etc.), in addition to its patent pending system for creating individualized flashcards on the StudyCell(TM) Web site for download to students cell phones.
We are proud of this innovation in mobile learning and our patent application reflects that, said Rosemary Castorina, Co-founder in charge of content and strategic partnerships.
In early 2006, StudyCell(TM) released a make your own flashcard system where flashcard content can be entered online by students at www.studycell.com and later downloaded to the cell phone.
Once created, these individualized make your own flashcards can be shared with other students and teachers.
These are products that enable todays mobile student to pick up their French, Spanish, History or Chemistry wherever they are, whether waiting in line, riding a bus, or in the back of their parents SUV.
The cell phone platform, explained Christopher Salemme, Co-founder in charge of technology, is especially suited to educational topics requiring memorization, since its portable, and brief learning sessions can be fitted into the small amounts of time between other activities of the day, encouraging frequent use and reinforcement. The StudyCell(TM) system teaches content by first exposing learners to the fact or word in context, allowing for learning by recognition, and then testing them on their mastery of the subject through multiple choice quizzes and the mobile equivalent of traditional flashcards.
Features, such as running scores, adaptive content, and search functionality make this system both engaging and efficient. StudyCell(TM) builds content using a methodology for creating taxonomies of content domains that allow for like data to be learned together.
This approach is widespread in the languages, where students learn related vocabulary and phrases together, such as words having to do with food.
We have extended this approach to other content domains including history, math and chemistry, said Ms. Castorina..

"Most people just swoon a bit and are embarrassed when their credit cards are rejected. This gal wilted like a daisy in a 100 degree heat wave. We see many Financial Flatliners this time of year, but this one was scary. Other shoppers began nervously palming their cards, wondering if they'd be next."
Luckily for Ms.
Phoenix, Jon Hanson, spokesperson for the National Debtabetes Foundation and author of Good Debt Bad Debt (Penguin-Portfolio Jan. 2005) (http://www.gooddebt.com), was in a nearby checkout line, where he was waiting to pay for a copy of his own book and a 12-pack of yellow highlighters.

Choosing The Right Phone and Voice Mail System
Phone and voice mail systems can be pretty costly, even for companies with a low number phones.
Before investing in any type of phone system or voice mail system, you need to estimate how much your company is likely to expand over the next few years and if possible how many phones you may require.
Failure to do this could cost you or your company a lot of money in upgrade and restructuring costs further down the road.
It is better and cheaper to plan and allow for expansion at an early stage, than wait until it is too late. If you plan to remain under ten phones then I would recommend you invest in a KSU-less phone system.
Basically these look like normal phones that carry all the technology and software needed to run a small phone system of up to four lines and eight to twelve extensions.
These systems incorporate many of the features that full PBX phone systems offer (though not voice mail).
So be sure to check with your supplier...
