Steve Jobs decided early on that Apple iPhone, iTouch (iPod) and iPad products would not support Adobe&#8217;s Flash. This was despite the fact that many websites, including MathXL, use Flash as an integral part of their site. You can read Jobs&#8217; rationale <a title=\"Thoughts on Flash\" href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/hotnews\/thoughts-on-flash\/\">here<\/a>. Steve is having the last laugh, from the grave, as <a title=\"Adobe drops mobile Flash support\" href=\"http:\/\/www.vg247.com\/2011\/11\/10\/adobe-drops-mobile-flash-support\/\">Adobe will no longer release new versions<\/a> for upcoming mobile devices, browser and operating systems.<\/p>\n<p>So until Pearson updates MathXL to work with HTML 5, we are stuck with Flash. Fortunately there is a work around. iSwifter lets you browse flash content right on your iPad. There is a cost to the product. Last time I checked it was $4.99.\u00a0 After spending some time with it, I found it a bit awkward to use on the iPad. The multi-touch did not work as it does in other browsers. The big\u00a0omission, however, is that it only works with a Wi-Fi connection and NOT 3G or 4G. Next I tested \u00a0<a title=\"Skyfire for iPad\" href=\"http:\/\/www.skyfire.com\/en\/for-consumers\/ipad\">Skyfire for iPad<\/a>. \u00a0Skyfire won&#8217;t run at all with MathXL. It seems to be more games oriented. So back to iSwifter, that will at least let you into the MathXL classroom.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love my iPad, but one of the frustrating things is not being able to access all my content in my online classroom at http:\/\/mathxl.com &#8212; at least until now.
