Mobile Learning

I tried utilizing my husband's Blackberry in order to use Google scholar to look up scholarly articles in regards to a project he was working on. This was pretty cool. I also used the iPod touch to view a couple educational YouTube videos.Creating the text poll was really cool because it is thinking outside of the box when trying to obtain information. I am at this moment still waiting to be accepted to Classroom 2.0 in order to join or create a discussion. I think it would be really cool if there was a Financial Aid app for each individual school that could give general FA information and show you some of your own information as well as link you to fafsa.ed.gov in order for you to apply for aid. Also it would be neat if there was a virtual advisor app students could meet with at any time to discuss academic related issues. Challenges probably would arise with FERPA regulations, creating a secure app for each individual college/university. However, it is inspiring to think of all the new and upcoming technologies that can be put to good use and make life easier for undergraduate and graduate students.
