Free iWork Templates from iWork4School

July 26, 2010

iWorks for Schools

Apple has always had a great acceptance in schools. AppleWorks on the Apple II and later Hypercard and AppleWorks for the Mac. Of course, AppleWorks has now been supplanted by iWork. So of course, iWork needs templates for schools.

More than fifty free iWork templates are now available for education professionals, students and teachers from the new iWork4School. The site is a sister site of the popular Free iWork Templates blog. iWork4School aims to be the premier iWork templates site for teachers, students and education professionals. Each template is sorted by three criteria: grade level, subject and intended users.

“iWork4School is not just one of those teacher material sites,” Joel Wolfgang, founder of both the Free iWork Templates Blog and iWork4School, said. “It’s a site designed with everyone who works in and around schools in mind. I wanted to create a site that specifically delivers iWork templates for those individuals.”

The Free iWork Templates Blog strives to be a community of iWork users who put their best foot forward and share their work with other iWork users. These two sites hope to help education professionals by saving them the time necessary to create their own templates for projects, papers and assignments.

“When I started The Free iWork Templates Blog, I really hoped to connect iWork users from around the globe,” Wolfgang said. “To date, we’ve had templates submitted from all six inhabited continents. With this new site I hope to bring educational resources and put them in one central location for anyone one to use.”

Google Docs now on the iPad

July 12, 2010

Accessing Google Docs on the iPad just became much easier with the release of DocsPortal 1.0 from Kabuki Vision. With its stunning interface, DocsPortal makes it easy to browse, search, and view files stored in a Google Docs account. Files can additionally be e-mailed, imported, and exported from within the app.


DocsPortal automatically downloads and stores Google Docs files right on the iPad, so they can be readily accessed even without an internet connection. Whenever an internet connection is present, DocsPortal will sync with Google Docs, so that the latest file updates are always available.
Adam Shaw, founder of Kabuki Vision, says:

“Using DocsPortal to access your Google Docs files is much simpler and more convenient than using a web browser” . “As a native iPad app, we can provide access to Google Docs in a faster, more powerful way.”

  • Browse and search Google Docs files and folders quickly and easily
  • View Google Docs files with or without an internet connection
  • Import and export Google Docs files to or from other iPad apps, such as Apple’s iWork suite.

Docs Portal is available from the iTunes Store for $4.99AUD.
