There are two ways to set up email on a iOS device. One way is to use the Gmail method another way is to use the Exchange method. Here is the Gmail method (I personally prefer the Exchange Method of settingup Gmail)

I prefer the Exchange method of setting up Gmail on my phone, but here is the Gmail method with some troubleshooting tips in case it does not work.

How do I post a picture to a Picassa Web Album from Email Email upload - Picasa and Picasa Web Albums Help

Using a mobile device, you can take a picture and send it via Email to a special email address and it will automatically upload to your Picassa Web Album. If you include the EXACT album name in the subject, it will put the picture in a specific album. (caps matters). If it can't find an album name the Subject becomes the caption of the picture Here how Email upload - Picasa and Picasa Web Albums Help

This article is interesting to me because I believe that access to information cannot be device-specific. Making information or communication reliant on a specific format limits the ability to interact on a truly global platform. Imagine the missed opportunities and conversations that would ensue if iPad owners were able to communicate with only people who have Apple devices. The same holds true for Google and Android, Microsoft, or any other current or emerging platform or system. As I've mentioned in other posts, and will most likely mention again: it's not about the device.

Direct quote: "Last year, we rolled out an ereader lending program in my fifth and sixth grade school library, and I plan to share here the ups, downs, and what-to-look-out-fors we encountered along the way. We'll talk planning and implementation of the program-but first, a bit of background. Let's hop into the librarian time machine (fashioned from an old card catalog I found on Etsy) and go back to August 2011…." This article spoke clearly to me with its tongue-in-cheek, soup to nuts look at a librarian's dilemma. Clearly, the votes not in yet and might never be. What to choose, how best to manage??? A very graphic, accessible article about the challenges of selection, purchasing and management of e-readers told from a school librarian's perspective. The author strikes a balance between humor and pragmatism, offering concrete suggestions, research and strategies. 

Best intro of Diigo that demonstrates the power of it between Diigo and mobile. Its better.

A must SEE. Even if you do now have Diigo installed and get it. I would suggest bookmarking this video as a MUST to share with others you work with to show them the power of Diigo

Diigo Browser looks like a most try. I'm off to download it now. Highlight quickly, email a page with its highlighting.

I downloaded iChromy a few years ago but have not used it much. This video made me go revisit it.

Great Diigo INTRO even though it is not the most current, I think it does a great job.

I just added this tutorial to the Diigo tutorials. If you still don't understand Diigo, check it out. If you don't have the Diigolet on your iPad, I would love to help you do this. You will find it most useful to tag content on the go.

For example, in 2010, we predicted that by 2015 each and every student in K-12 would be using a mobile device, 24/7, for curricular purposes. In 2010 that prediction seemed far-fetched, but K-12 is on course for the technology to be in place.

This one is for Karen and Jane  and anyone else who would like to convert a webpage 

These all look easy to use, but are not free. For the purpose of our wk 2 reading assignment, I copied and pasted the article into a google doc, then opened in notability.

Planning, challenges, checklists - PDFs available

Hard to believe the average mobile device accounts for nearly 2 hours of user time in mobile apps. Time to think about what these apps are doing for (to) us.

This is a great blog about educational technology. The post called Are You Behind was bookmarked in the ISTE diigo group, leading me to the whole blog.

Published in March of 2011, this article reports on the results of a survey conducted of students at the University of Scranton on the strategies used by postsecondary students to gather information using Internet-capable cell phones, or smartphones. The article concluded: Information literacy instructors should become familiar with new search methods (such as quick response codes) to help students use them effectively and efficiently. Students should be encouraged to review a range of search results, particularly when searching for academic information. Information literacy instructors should help students understand how to evaluate information, especially when it is presented in a nontraditional form, such as a native app. Students may need assistance from educators in applying information literacy skills they have learned while searching on a laptop or desktop to the mobile environment.

David Talbot, MIT Technology Review's chief correspondent, reports on new alternative networking options that would possibly improve bandwidth connectivity for mobile devices. His article made me realize how inefficient and outdated our current IP-address-based networks are.

Scroll 2/3 of the way into this blog to find an 8 minute cartoon titled BYOD in the 21st Century, Star Trek themed. Quite enlightening. Could show to students and then discuss
