5 Myths About Writing With Mobile Devices - Edudemic - Edudemic - 1 views

  •  
    The difficulty I have with writing on an iPod is one of the things that consistently has me preferring the computer for producing text content. While this article did not really sway me from that opinion, it did give me a new perspective on writing itself and how students are learning it with mobile devices.

    Awoke to an NPR interview of a most remarkable woman telling her story of living with Lou Gehrig's disease. With considerable assistance of her husband during this interview, who must translate her strained speech, I learned how she wrote a book using an iPhone (or iPod) with the use of one thumb only. Compelling, inspiring. Grateful for my life and limbs today, going out for an invigorating ski and thinking of her.  Apologies to Frank, an English teacher, for the disjointed sentence starting with "with considerable assistance....., needs editing.

Using eML for Dynamic eBooks - 0 views

  • Also figures, tables and examples can be displayed with all references being automatically renumbered if you move them, MP3 audio files and YouTube videos can be embedded, you can add bookmarks (by clicking on a heading and once again on the star icon that appears), and do a lot more besides. But, most importantly, the eML Reader application has been written using cross-browser JavaScript, so it functions on all major platforms and web browsers, including Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux—and it runs very well on the Apple iPad, Iphone, and iPod Touch, and on Google Android devices too.

      This indicates a need for teachers to have a better understanding of what can be done with mobile devices.
  • Despite all the bring-your-own device buzz over the last few years, meanwhile, teachers were chillier to handhelds (smartphones and iPod touches—the devices students tend to bring to school) than other tools. While the percentage of teachers with access to such devices went up to 36 percent, from 26 percent a year ago, the tools were rated below other devices (sixth out of a list of eight, even below projectors) on "potential to enhance education."
  • In general, the survey says, teachers view technology as a "teaching tool used by teachers" rather than an "administrative tool" or a "self-learning tool used by students."
