The portability of the device means photos can be taken out in the field. This is particularly useful in my context for local studies as the photos can incorporate GPS location tagging, ideal for uploading to History Pin.

Still Exploring mobile device and apps
Notes - Tangible benefits
• Fits into the lives of learners, allows for productive dead time
• Allows thoughts, data including photos to be recorded wherever they happen
• Portable
• Bite- sized e- learning can be delivered to learners
• Can be used to send reminders
• Can be shared to blog or sent to emails
• Can add location data
The above Note was created on my mobile device, then sent to my blog via email. I changed the settings so that anything sent by email would be a draft post allowing me to add or edit as the case has been here.

Exploring Mobile Device and Apps
I'm currently experimenting with different features and Apps on my device. These include the office software already installed on the tablet, plus Quickoffice, Cloudon, KingsoftOffice, Dropbox, Google Drive, Blogger app, Bloggeroid, Borrow Box and the Note apps just for starters. In my context a good office program for mobile devices is important, and the more functionality the better.

Mobile Device Core Features
Overview of core features
My mobile device is an android tablet with many inbuilt features. It has an 8 inch screen and is light enough and small enough to fit inside a handbag. It does not come with a phone however there are some apps that can be used for phone talks. Although there are many apps available to simplify tasks it also can directly access and navigate many pages via the internet.

This diagram is my first draft. Since posting it I have found some more features that could be added so I am looking to update this in a later post.
