High School and College Students Gain Competitive Edge With iPhones - Published on 11/17/09

 

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Niles Technology Group today announces Essay Writing Wizard 1.2 for iPhone and iPod touch. The Essay Writing Wizard tools brings essay writing and critical thinking skills into the pockets of high-tech students. In order to find the best application for a student's assignment, Niles Technology Group has setup a quick app selection tool where students can email their assignments in and receive a list of app tools that meet their particular needs in less than a day.

 

Charlottesville, VA - The newest high-end accessory on campus this year isn't a fancy backpack or designer shoes, it's the stylish and app-filled iPhone or iPod Touch, and it's not just being used to play games and make phone calls. Apps like Charlottesville software developer Niles Technology Group's line of Essay Writing tools are becoming increasingly popular as student vie for a leg up on their peers.

 

"The iPhone is a full functioning mobile computing platform," says Michael Niles, company president and long-time educator. "Most education programs in the App Store simply don't take advantage of it. Most of what you see available for students only uses the iPhone as a display device for flashcards, rote memorization language apps, online textbooks, and viewing of videos." The Essay Writing Wizard line of apps help students understand how to write everything from a book report to a summary essay, as well as being fully interactive and allowing students to organize and input notes, ideas, research and even writing samples directly into the phone.

 

The response from students has been overwhelming. "I was a little reluctant at first," said Shawn Kiehn, a High School sophomore at the Natomas Charter School in Sacramento, California. "The thought of writing more than just short messages on my iPod Touch seemed a bit weird, but I needed some help with a personal essay in my English class and just sort of stumbled upon it. I love that I can pull it out and work on my essay when I'm waiting for the bus or sitting at lunch."

 

The Essay Writing Wizard tools take it one step further, beyond just the mobile device. With the purchase of one of the value-pac apps which combine many types of essays into one program, the company provides a free essay editing and review service online.

 

With more than 200 Essay Writing Wizard apps available for both the native English speaker and the ESL student, choosing the right app can be daunting. In order to find the best application for a student's assignment, Niles Technology Group has setup a quick app selection tool where students can email their assignments in and receive a list of app tools that meet their particular needs in less than a day.

iPhone and 2nd Generation iPod Touch 2.2.1 or later
