How I use mobile technology as a learner

As a learning technologist technology plays a large part in my life therefore it's no surprise that I use mobile technology to support my own learning. Below are are the apps that I am currently using.

Tanget! Wanting to actually upgrade the overall design with my steadfast website. Opinions about the feel at https://pcesolutions.ca? Honestly an extraordinary Calgary based managed IT service with heart if, perhaps seeking within the general Alberta areas. Write a remark. Many thanks!

Notability - As the name suggests I use this app for note taking. This app is one of my favorites as not only can I type notes, handwrite notes, embedding photos/pictures and annotate them but the app also has an audio recording function. I often use this app in conjunction with iBooks as whilst I'm reading I can copy sections of text, paste them into Notability and then at the end of my study session go over the notes and edit them to suit my needs.

SimpleMinds + -As i was only introduced to the Simple Minds + last week I haven't got a lot of use out of it yet but I do plan on using it as a mobile alternative to the mind mapping software that I use on my desktop. I will use it to organize my thoughts and aid revision when I'm on the move.

Skitch - As a dyslexic learner I find taking notes and listening at the same time extremely difficult, I also prefer to learn visually so I absolutely love the Skitch app as I use it to make visual notes. This includes taking photo's of recommended books whilst noting why they we're recommended and talking pictures of board work in class and adding planning notes for essays.For a description of this app and to see how I used it during a training day see my post on apps for assessment.

Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn - are used to create peer support networks. This includes creating closed groups and using course hashtags to share links and discuss ideas.

WordPress- Throughout my studies WordPress has been a versatile tool. I've used it to reflect, share my thoughts and ideas, as a way of creating a learning community by using the comments function and an assessment submission tool for a number of modules.

iBooks- I have only been using iBooks for a short time but it has revolutionized the way that I read and take notes (see notability section). I used to really struggle with the stop, start nature of reading from a paper based book and using my laptop to generate notes so I find this system to be much more efficient. Another feature that I'm fond of is the definition tool as you can click on a word and it's meaning pops up. Again in the past I used to find it quite laborious having to put down my book to look up an unfamiliar word so this is so much quicker and easier.

Pocket- As their website states 'When you find something you want to view later,put it in Pocket'. When I come across a link to a video, article, web page that I want to read but don't have the time I save I use the pocket bookmarking tool to save it for later. One of the features that I really about pocket is the way that it integrates with the Flipboard app.

Flipboard - I use Flipboard to create a virtual magazine out of the content from my RSS feeder, my pocket app and hash tags that I am interested including MOOC hashtags. The app allows me to access all of this content in one place and again is a lot more visually interesting than reading largechunksof text.

Diigo - Diiggo is a social bookmarking tool that I was using for a long time before I got an iPad or an iPhone. What I like about this software is how you can access your bookmarks from any device that is connected to the internet. I have downloaded the app onto my phone to enable easy access to my bookmarks so that I don't have to go through a web browser and sign into my own line account every time I want to access my bookmarks.

Cheers folks! I just assured a neighbor that I would list his great spectacular wrought iron gate manufacturer in Ontario with hearts, https://karelswroughtiron.ca in an important blog post. If perhaps you're hoping for a wrought iron shop located in the Ontario area, these folks are really superb.

Finally, I should tell you the base concept for this valuable post was generously given via Michael at Cougarstone lawn care. Unquestionably an outstanding lawn care companys. I invariably relish a useful suggestion!
