There are various contents I consume for my mobile devices, iPod and smartphone. For my iPod I've download and transferred both audio and video to listen and view while I'm not near a computer. Other mobile devices I use, for entertainment purposes, include Nintendo DS Lite and Sony PSP. I recently purchased a Netbook. A Netbook is a small portable laptop designed for communication and Internet use, which is perfect for online learning. I love it because it's really small and light, I could even fit it in my purse! One major disadvantage for me is I can't play video games on it =(.
With my phone, I've created text messages, taken pictures, create documents, use the calendar to set up remiders and utilized the calculator. What I really liked about my phone is I could sync it with my MS Outlook calendar and contact lists. I would really like to learn how to create podcasts because I know how useful it is in education. I just downloaded audacity, free audio editor and recorder. I read about it in an article once and hopefully I'll have the time to learn it.
Hello Grace,
ReplyDeleteYou have encouraged me to use my phone for my than the basics. I am a former audacity user. I really like it. Currently, I use Adobe Soundbooth. The functions that I used with audacity prepared me for Soundbooth. Like anything else, individuals have their preference, but for what I am currently creating with technology either one is effective.

Good post. Audacity is pretty easy to use. Let me know if you need any tutorials, I think I have one around there that I created for faculty.
ReplyDeleteWow! You definitely have a lot of mobile devices to take care of a lot of tasks. I'm not too familiar with the Netbook, but it seems quite convenient. Weight is definitely a key component when purchasing different devices. As for podcast, it's really easy to do using Garageband through the Mac.
