Stumbled across some refreshing and amazingly creative edu apps created by Futurelab. They seem to have pulled of creating applications that take advantage of mobile devices, games based learning and inquiry based learning theories.

• Create-A-Scape
  Create a Mediascape - “location-based experiences, games and tours on a handheld device”. Take a map, define regions (eg landmarks), add multimedia related content to your regions and then export to a mobile device format. If the mobile device has GPS, the multimedia will be automatically triggered. The mscape site allows mediascapes to be shared.
• Exploratree
  A tool to create thinking guides - brainstorming/problem solving templates. There are many templates to download.
• Moovl
  Moovl is a simulation tool that allows kids (primary school) to draw and animate objects with physical properties.
• Newtoon
  Build and share games based on Newtonian physics on mobile devices. Well thats what the description says - I could not give this one a try as it is not yet released.

Futurelab looks like a great place to work!
