However, I was intrigued that it was a great way to catch up on some reading while on the go. My daily routine requires a lot of moving around, especially at work and most of the reading I do is while in transit. I carry my work B\u2019berry around all the time but what I do with it is mostly emails and BBM and rarely voice. Until this week, I had zero MLearning experience. I decided to use my work B\u2019berry to download an ebook. I must say that it wasn\u2019t a bad experience. The small screen issue is made up for by the zoom tool which allows you to zoom in and read Then I am not big on scrolling since zooming in means I had to scroll a lot, which I am not a fan of! Personally I would rather not carry anything that weighs over half a kilo (I have suffered untold pains for doing that) so the idea of being able to read with my mobile phone appeals to me even with the scrolling!<\/p>\n
My curiosity satisfied, I am now ready to use another mobile- next stop- Ipad.\u00a0I want to use mobiles for 2 reasons: to extend the classroom and for convenience. I have found BBM a great way to keep a community of professionals or social network connected. I can send and receive a lot of media forms. I can see how it will be used for learning with these features. A little research on statistics of phone usage also made me quite hopeful about the future of mlearning-using something users are already accustomed and personally attached to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
