Okay. I have been a bit distracted this week. Actually, a lot distracted. My husband hasn't seen me for days. Huddled over a small device, all he sees at night is the back of my head. All he hears is the tapping of my fingers. My eyes are sore. My fingers hurt... but I am in heaven. Yes, I am now an official owner of the iPhone. I have joined the masses and I am loving it!
So it is no surprise this week that I have decided to write my free blog about this new device of mine. I never could have imagined having all of this information with me, all of the time. I can be at the hairdresser and check my e-mail. I can be on Lake Winnipesaukee and check the weather. The list is endless with what is available at the tap of my finger. Can you believe there are entire blogs dedicated to this device? Check out this one!
The one thing (of many) that has completely overwhelmed me is the Apps. Oh, the Apps. News, books, medical advice, travel, entertainment... The list is endless. The one category that caught my eye was education. There are some incredible Apps out there for kids and learning. Math games, songs, learning how to speak a new language... I am excited to learn about all that is available for my students. Are there any I can incorporate into the classroom? I am anxious to find out.
It is addicting. It is a drug. I need to ween myself off of this iPhone high so I can get back to my regular life!
iPhones are just amazing. I switched off my Blackberry and bought an iPhone 2 months ago and it is unbelievable. I'm still going through apps!
ReplyDeleteI need to spend more time going through the education apps to see what is applicable for my classroom or for my students to use. I did download the google app so I can get right to my google docs/reader, etc. I've also found "My Drop Box" which would allow me to access all of my files/documents that are stored on my laptop on my iphone.
