The Buzz About "Work It"

  • Check out the July 2005 issue of Parenting Magazine, where we are featured among a selection of blogs about parenting.

    Another working moms site, "Working Moms Against Guilt" honored us with a "Thinking Blogger" award saying: "With 11 working moms blogging collectively, you're bound to discover some thought-provoking ideas, products, websites, and thoughts. Work It features lots of different voices and updates often with entries that make us think. Plus, I love the Coffee Break entries!"

    Elizabeth at "Career and Kids" says: "I enjoy the “Coffee Break” links...there’s often content of interest to all working parents...and..Keep up the good work!"

    Writer Sandi Shelton recently blogged about us, too! She said, "A website for working moms, called Work It, linked to my blog, which made me so happy because their stuff is so funny and so necessary out there in the world."

Product Review: CRAM

By Joy

This is an overview of CRAM, a new software that enables users to study their notes as easily as they can make a text message or place a call. I did not actually try the software, however navigating the site, I got a pretty good idea of what the software can do for you or someone you love. 

Cram is a powerful tool which enables users to create custom test material on their device that can be tailored to their personal classes. The user also has the ability to import tests that they have uploaded or created on their desktop (with a plain text editor) or on the free online web portal at www.simpleleap.com , to their device. Cram users have the ability to import personally created tests and any publicly shared tests from the Cram test library, created by other Cram users.

For our young ones studying for SATs and other tests, their gift of a phone would be put to great use with this tool. The program also allows for study groups to work together virtually. So your child could actually be doing homework while staying electronically tethered to friends.  Last but not least, it is very inexpensive, recently lowered to $15.99 (one-time purchase, no recurring fees.)  I believe that's cheaper than the books I purchased to study for my own exams. 

As for extra charges to your bill, the iPhone includes unlimited data access and the iPod Touch only requires wifi access, there should be no affect to your typical phone bill. Most wireless carriers that support the BlackBerrry also provide unlimited data access, however this could vary based on the provider and based on the selected plan.

The good thing is, Cram only requires a data connection when importing testing material and upon the quick, initial registration process on the BlackBerry. All other usage of Cram is offline, and does not require a data plan.

The iPhone and iPod Touch version now available in the Apple iTunes AppStore for immediate download.  Visit the Cram homepage for more details on the most recent updates, releases, a video demo and complete features.
