Welcome to episode 216 ("Luvin' Google Ain't Wrong") of the EdTech Situation Room from April 21, 2021, where technology news meets educational analysis. This week Jason Neiffer (@techsavvyteach) and Wesley Fryer (@wfryer) discussed the impending return of Parler to the Apple App Store, the amazing dynamics of WikiPedia following the January 6th U.S. Capitol Riot, and the tendency of negative political tweets to garner more user attention than others. The important role of Darnella Frazier in documenting the homicide of George Floyd with her smartphone, Apple's redesigned iMacs with Apple silicon chips, upgraded iPad Pros, and newly announced "Air Tags" by Apple at their marketing event this week. The start of "the podcast war" between Apple, Spotify and others reflected in Apple's announced changes to the Apple Podcasts feature of Apple Music, "performance mode" in the Microsoft Edge browser (similar to Chrome 'tab suspender' extensions minimizing browser user of computer memory), and new Chromebooks from Lenovo were also discussed. The potential for adblockers to mess up Google Documents in your browser (hopefully a bug that has now been fixed) and the new "documents" tab in Google Photos were additional Google headlines discussed by Jason and Wes. Geeks of the Week included computer/device reselling websites Swappa and Gazelle, and a Saturday, April 24th free webinar by Wes about innovative teaching strategies for language teachers.

To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1085/29 Selling stuff online is all the rage these days. If you want to get serious about turning your unused items into cash over the internet, you’ve got to know how and where to do it. Today, host Rob West and Steve Moore have some helpful tips. eBay is still one of the biggest and best places to unload items you no longer need, especially for general merchandise. Maybe the best thing about it is that you can sell practically anything there, from toy soldiers to Toyota parts. eBay isn’t the only general merchandiser out there though. You can also check out Bonanza, eBid, and Facebook Marketplace. There are lots of apps geared toward selling stuff right in your area for easy pickup by buyers. Some of the top neighborhood apps for selling things are OfferUp, 5miles, Gone, and NextDoor. For selling clothing online, you can check out ThredUp, Poshmark, Buffalo Exchange, and Tradesy. You won’t make a ton of money selling used clothing items, but it’ll get them out of your closet. If you have a wedding dress you’d like to sell, check out NearlyNewlywed, StillWhite, and PreownedWeddingDresses.com. If you’re getting rid of old electronics, check out Decluttr.com. You log in and get a quote for your old phone, tablet, or game console. If you like the quote, you create an account and complete the order. They’ll email you a postage paid form that you put on a shipping box, and you take that to a UPS store. A day after Decluttr receives the item, you’re paid by direct deposit. Other places to sell used electronics are Gizmogul, Swappa, BuyBackWorld, and Glyde. These sites let you unload almost any personal electronic device, including smartphones, laptops, tablets, and even smartwatches. If you’re looking to sell musical instruments or equipment, eBay offers a special area for selling those items. You can also check out Reverb.com, a site dedicated to buying and selling musical items. If you’re selling collectibles (antique furniture, vinyl records, comic books, etc.), check out Collectors.com and Statricks. You can also use those sites just to get an idea of what your item might be worth. Here are a couple of questions we answered from our callers on today’s program: I’m 55 years old and I got responsible with money later in life; I was very irresponsible with it when I was young. I’ve got about $4,000 in an investment retirement account, I’ve got a 401k with my job, and I’ve only got about $10,000 in savings in a regular account. I’m concerned that I won’t have enough funds to support myself very long when I retire in 10 years. What advice can you give me? My parents are retired and in their early 80s. They own their home but it needs a lot of work. I’m looking for a way to finance all the repairs because it’s just not in our budget. What would you suggest? (Rob mentions Hud.gov).

Isn’t it fascinating that a generation ago, most people buy almost everything from a local retailer, and now the internet and e-commerce have immensely changed by just searching and purchasing online?   In today’s podcast, Matt and Matt welcome CEO and founder of Swappa, Ben Edwards.

Meet Ben Edwards, the man behind Swappa, a user-to-user marketplace for gently used mobile devices... Swappa was founded in 2010 by Edwards, a long-time software and mobile developer who joins host Kelly Scanlon on this week’s episode of Smart Companies KC The inspiration for Swappa sparked when Ben had trouble finding a good source for test devices for Android development projects. Turning to eBay and Craigslist proved perilous and time-wasting for buying mobile phones. Blacklisted phones, junk devices, inefficient communication, and downright fraud plagued the antiquated marketplaces. Knowing there had to be a better way, Ben created Swappa To hear shows with host Kelly Scanlon, please visit our archives. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Let it never be said that the weeks leading up to a trade show are dull ones. Since we last podcasted, we've gone hands-on with no fewer than three new mobile devices, reviewed another two, set up a giveaway for the world's most privacy-centric smartphone, and brought you an exclusive leak of the world's next big smartwatch. And with IFA still two weeks away, you can bet the news avalanche will keep on rolling. Join us, then, for a discussion on HTC's new Windows Phone; Motorola's new Android(s); Samsung's Gear 3 with dangerous curves; Sharp's edge-to-edge Aquos Crystal for Sprint; Xiaomi's dark horse Mi4; and ... well, we can talk about the new Nook too, if you want. All that plus your listener mail –and special guest Todd Haselton from TechnoBuffalo– on an exciting 90 minutes of mobile tech talk. If that's the kind of podcast that Booms your Sound, then the Pocketnow Weekly is the show for you! Join us down below!

One of the nice things about a mobilized mob of fanatics is ... well, nothing. For the purposes of intelligent discourse and civility, there's nothing cool or helpful about a bunch of heated fanboys rabidly denigrating a new product because it happens to threaten their preferred smartphone. We've talked about this sort of thing before, and now we're talking about it again – this time in the context of Blackphone vs BlackBerry. But we're not using this issue to harp on the dangers of fanaticism; rather, we're seizing on the opportunity to learn something about mobile security. There's also plenty of news to cover in the mainstream smartphone world, of course: Samsung's Galaxy Alpha is here and while it's not packing a big spec wallop, it sure is pretty. Motorola's broken our hearts with an ill-timed event invite. There's new device coverage concerning HTC, Microsoft, Xiaomi, and others. And, improbably, OnePlus has found yet another way to piss off the world. If that's the kind of podcast that brushes your aluminum, then the Pocketnow Weekly is the show for you!

Thanks to our new Blackphone review devices, we're already halfway off the grid ... or at least, halfway buried under Post-It notes littered with passwords, which is almost the same thing. Before we get too stealthy, though, we're hosting us a little show. Some of you might know it as the mobile technology podcast that's gone 108 episodes without missing a single week (accurate). Others might know it as the last remaining mobile-only podcast (citation needed). Still others might know it as the podcast where we advertise horse products (totally false). Whatever your own impression of our little corner of the podcastosphere, we call it the Pocketnow Weekly. And on this episode we're talking Blackphone (shhh), LG G3 (more!), Galaxy S5 Sport (dear God why?), a phone-free smartwatch (ditto), touchscreens with texture (ooh!), and so much more™. If that's the kind of podcast that charges your battery pack, then the Pocketnow Weekly is the show for you! Join us live on the air today at 2pm Eastern (click here for your own local time) for Pocketnow Weekly 108 (or download the high-quality edited version of the show down in the Links section, if you're reading this post after we've already called it quits) and shoot your questions to podcast [AT] pocketnow [DOT] com for a shot at getting your question read aloud on the air.

You'll be amazed at just what sort of information companies can gather simply by you walking around a store or even a city.  July 28: Tab 12: Keys: Did you know that there are apps that can copy any key? You take a bunch of photos of a key, send them to a service like KeyMe or KeysDuplicated, and then they'll send you a perfect copy. Read this Wired article and feel the hair on the back of your neck stand up.  July 30: Tab 09: Google: The Information (paywall) has corroborated a rumor previously published by Android Police: There will be a new Nexus phone this year, made by Motorola, with a large (potentially 5.9 inch) screen. The Information also says the Android Silver program (flagship phones running stock Android) may have been killed since the guy who was in charge of the project, Nikesh Arora, left Google. July 31: Tab 10: Facebook: They're giving people in Zambia free internet access to a select number of websites: Facebook (of course), Google, Wikipedia, AccuWeather, various job hunting websites, and a local website meant to inform people about AIDS/HIV. Note: If this happened in America, net neutrality people would explode in anger. When this happens in an emerging market, however, it's seen as progress. Just presenting both sides of the coin.

One of the nice things about hosting your own podcast is that you get to decide exactly what qualifies as "news." Not in the mood to pretend the latest wave of iPhone 6 display-glass leaks fit the description? Well, tweak the filter a little, and suddenly you've got just a small handful of concentrated "real" tech news – and a lot more room for the fun stuff. This week's fun stuff comes in the form of our Gadgets in Hand segment –which gives you the opportunity to ask us questions about the latest devices in our review labs– and Listener Mail, which today features observations on BlackBerry's saving grace, tablet-and-smartphone juggling acts across Apple and Android, and all the tiny little ways manufacturers screw up gadget launches. Thankfully, the news section itself isn't totally barren either. On today's lineup: some insight into the lost Microsoft tablet, a look at what could be Samsung's first metal-made Galaxy S, weird news about an NFC tattoo we're really excited to review, and a nice juicy photo dump featuring the sequel to every tech blogger's secret favorite smartphone. If that's the kind of talk that deploys your antenna, then the Pocketnow Weekly is the podcast for you. Join us live on the air today at 2pm Eastern (click here for your own local time) for Pocketnow Weekly 106, and shoot your questions to podcast [AT] pocketnow [DOT] com if you just can't bear to wait for the Q&A.

It seems every week we're spending 80% of the podcast talking about the huge players in the mobile space, along with their commensurately huge smartphone and tablet offerings. While we're not ignoring those established forces in this episode, we are devoting a bit more time to newcomers: from Amazon to OnePlus to a little firm called GoTenna, there's a lot going on in mobile's lower echelons, and we're going to chat about it on today's show. Also on the agenda: a new segment designed to cater to Michael Fisher's penchant for whimsical looks into the past, called (what else?) "Nerdy Nostalgia." We'll talk about AMPS, the analog cellular network that laid the groundwork for today's digital domain, a network shut down years before young Taylor Martin was even a gleam in Best Buy's eye. Plus, we address a big backlog of listener mail on this episode, some of which has spent months in the wings waiting for Joe Levi the Android Guy to make his triumphant return to the podcast! Sound like fun? Yeah, we thought you might say that.
