![]() ![]() IPhone 5 Apple's latest iPhone is the first to feature a larger 4" Retina display with a 16:9 aspect ratio that's perfect for watching TV shows and video. In fact, the iPhone 5c makes us realize how viable that older model still is, with fast performance, the usual excellent (albeit small) 4" Retina Display and a capable 8MP rear camera. While the iPhone 5c is basically an iPhone 5 in more playful colors, it's certainly more exciting than leaving us with the choice of buying this year's model or last year's at a discount. IPhone 5c This is the first time Apple introduced two new iPhone models at the same time: the iPhone 5c and the iPhone 5s. The smartphone runs iOS 7 and as usual is available in 16, 32 and 64 gig capacities. The new iPhone features a Touch ID fingerprint sensor so you can unlock the phone with a press of a finger. The updated 8MP iSight camera with larger pixels takes noticably better low light shots and the front FaceTime camera offers sharper and brighter video chats. The latest flagship iPhone sticks with the Leica inspired metal design and 4" Retina Display, and Apple has added a gold color option. IPhone 5s The iPhone 5s features Apple's new A7 CPU and a fast PowerVR multi-core GPU that's twice as fast as the iPhone 5 and 5c. It has a very good rear 8MP camera with fast lens and the Touch ID fingerprint scanner that will work with Apple Pay for mobile payments. The iPhone 6 has an aluminum body finished in silver, space gray or gold, and it's available with 16, 64 or 128 gigs of storage. The IPS display is stunningly colorful and sharp with great viewing angles, and the newest iPhone is fast thanks to the Apple A8 dual core 64 bit CPU. IPhone 6 Apple's mainstream phone is larger now at 4.7", but it's still hand and pocket friendly. Is it wonderful for watching videos and playing games? You bet! Editor's Choice 2014 You can get it with up to 128 gigs of storage and in your choice of silver, space gray or gold. The phone runs iOS 8 on Apple's dual core, 64 bit A8 processor with multi-core graphics and 1 gig of RAM. The iPhone 6 Plus has a 5.5" full HD IPS display that's one of the best, long battery life, a crazy slim design and as ever an attractive unibody aluminum design. IPhone 6 Plus It's Apple's first phablet, or really big smartphone if you hate that label. ![]() Lastly there's 3D Touch for new interactions with the touch screen. ![]() The casing is more rigid and the Touch ID fingerprint scanner recognizes your fingerprint nearly instantaneously. Both front and rear cameras are much higher resolution and Apple's finally joined the 4K video recording bandwagon. The 4.7" iPhone 6s and 5.5" iPhone 6s Plus sport newer and significantly faster Apple A9 CPUs with double the RAM for a nice performance boost. The size and look remain the same, though there's a new rose gold color that blushes pink. IPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus For an "s" year, the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus offer significant improvements over the last generation of this extremely popular phone family. Obviously, it's pretty pocket-friendly and it's also wallet friendly with a starting price of $399. It's available in 4 colors and it has a 4" Retina IPS display. The iPhone SE has the body of the iPhone 5s- that Leica inspired one that's still my personal favorite iPhone design. It truly is much less expensive than the flagship iPhone 6s, but it has the same CPU, RAM and excellent rear camera as the more expensive model. IPhone SE This is Apple's best attempt at an affordable iPhone. The iPhone 7 Plus gets two 12MP rear cameras, one with standard wide view and one telephoto. Inside there's the class-leading Apple A10 Fusion quad core CPU, more storage, improved front and rear cameras, IP67 water resistance. On the outside we have new antenna lines, a solid state home button and two new colors: black and jet black. IPhone 7 & iPhone 7 Plus The changes for Apple's flagship 4.7" and 5.5" smartphones are mostly inside this year.

High maintenance cleaning requirements: Participants who tried models that are not fully washable worried that this would make cleaning more onerous over time. “Feels a little flimsy,” a user said of the Remington Vacuum Beard & Stubble Trimmer. Participants noted that these small parts appeared “cheap,” and likely to break over time. Lots of small, flimsy parts: Trimmers that came with many small parts tended to make participants nervous about whether they could keep track of them all. Packaging: Clean, elegant, and informative exterior packaging made a difference in beard trimmer appeal. “While I was familiar with using the different grooming combs, I also learned this beard trimmer has a travel lock which is a great feature,” one user said. Travel lock: Participants responded enthusiastically to the Remington Smart Beard Trimmer and the Wahl Lithium Ion+, models that both feature a travel lock that automatically prevents the trimmer from turning on while in transit. Sturdiness and durability: A key point for participants was how durable they felt the model they tried was, and the sturdiness of its additional parts.įully washable: Participants who received fully washable models liked being able to simply run the trimmer under water to clean it. It was a value to me because it was my first time using a trimmer.” “The instructions were comprehensive in multiple languages,” said a user who tried the Wahl Lithium Ion+, adding that the manual “discussed the basics of trimming and using all of the different components. Questions included, for example: whether they needed help from an experienced person to use the model how confident they felt using the model whether they liked using the model and how well-integrated the various aspects of the model were.Įasy-to-follow instructions: While some participants said they like to use third-party tutorials, such as YouTube videos, most appreciated receiving clear and thorough instructions from the manufacturer. Only participants who received these models were asked to score these features.Īll participants also scored their beard trimmer models on a 10-question usability scale covering user experience factors. These features included a digital touch screen with memory settings (the Remington Smart Beard Trimmer) and a hair clippings vacuum (Remington Vacuum Beard & Stubble Trimmer). Operation: After each use of the beard trimmer, participants were asked how easy or difficult it was to handle and what their satisfaction was with the results afterward.īasic features: After at least two uses of the beard trimmer, participants were asked what they thought about the model’s settings, attachments, and features, as well as how easy or difficult it was to change the attachments.Īdvanced features: For this study, only two models with advanced features were assessed. Maintenance and cleaning: Participants were asked what they thought about the required steps, including the difficulty with disassembling and reassembling trimmer parts during cleaning, as well as how they took care of the model overall. Setup and help: Participants were asked how easy or difficult it was for them to get started and set up the model for their needs, and how useful the instructions were. “The objective is to capture each person’s qualitative experience but also to quantify various aspects of it as well,” Ahuja says, “so that we can differentiate how well each device worked for a variety of users.” Volunteers were expected to use the beard trimmer at least twice over a period of two to four weeks, and to share their experiences and score their trimmers on the factors listed below. “Each individual was given a digital diary to share their experiences in the form of written and photo entries,” says Charu Ahuja, CR’s director of consumer experience and usability research.

I’ve read accounts that using Classical Conversations has helped some inexperienced or perhaps unorganized moms/dads to stay on task and get all of the academic boxes checked, because someone else has made sure that the material is good and appropriate. Parents can encourage and support each other. Children can grow up with other CC children through the years and gain solid friendships. For many families, CC has become a way for them to connect with other families who are homeschooling, and receive support. Parents need to use what works best for them and for their children to achieve optimum educational success.Ĭlassical Conversations didn’t work for my family however, it has worked for many families. I asked questions, took a look at what we already had going on in our homeschooling plan, looked at the needs of our children, and my needs, and decided it was not a good fit for us at the time. Currently, there are so many options – maybe too many options – for homeschoolers. My new friends once again encouraged us to join. When we moved to a new state, many of our new homeschooling friends were supplementing their homeschooling with the Classical Conversations program. It felt reassuring to have such a proven academic plan for my kiddos. Prior to that, I used a hodgepodge of curricula, but now with Susan Wise Bauer’s recommendations, my children were on a tried-and-true academic track – a proven educational method that had been used by students for centuries. I immediately bought her book and began implementing classical methods in my teaching. I had already been teaching my children and adopting some classical methods of learning after hearing a compelling lecture by Susan Wise Bauer who spoke at a HEAV convention in Virginia. The concept of fusing classical education into modern teaching was popularized by a 1947 essay by British author Dorothy Sayers called “The Lost Tools of Learning.” ( Source). ![]() Here is a brief description of classical education:Ĭlassical education focuses on the great books of Western civilization, Latin, and lessons about morality and virtue, and is based on the medieval European curriculum that divided learning into the “trivium”: grammar, logic and rhetoric. Along the way, I’ve run into several homeschool moms who have tried to encourage me to join Classical Conversations, especially when I expressed my interest in classical education. ![]() I later found out these girls were involved in a group called Classical Conversations (CC) in their area, and memorizing was part of their schoolwork. I cannot recall what was recited, but I remember being impressed with these girls, who were about 5 years old, reciting such long texts – texts that included vocabulary words with four syllables, using words I rarely use. ![]() However, this year, there were a couple of very young girls who recited historical passages.
