This week’s activites covered the use of mobile technologies in higher education.  I personally don’t access the web via my mobile phone as the screen is too small.  I did coincidentally have free access to facebook on my mobile this week so I went online and had a look at it.  I found it to be not worth the hassle, it takes ages to type anything and you can only see a tiny portion of the screen.  I do have a netbook which is a much better ‘mobile’ technology and the internet access there is tied into my mobile phone account.  I do make use of text alerts for tube delays so this aspect is quite good and as the articles for this week’s activites showed, libraries send out text messages for books that are overdue etc.

I tried the hands on activity of uploading a photo to my blog but my mobile wouldn’t send it to my email address and I’ve lost the cable to attach it to a computer.

The second activity involves researching one of the areas discussed in the Learning 2.0 blog.  I will write that up in a later blog post.
