1. Top three mobile technologies:
Microblog:
The first mobile technology I am going to name is micro blogs. I used micro-blogging for my own
personal learning by using it to help me study for my jazz class. I used it by blogging questions about
certain jazz sounds and I also blogged about experiences I have had, and questions I have as well. I think
that this particular mobile technology accommodates my visual learning preference extremely well,
because I like being able to see things. Micro-blogging also helped my sequential learning preference as
well. If you are interested in a topic that is described in the news feed, there is generally a link that can
direct you to more information or possibly even direct you to a news article. From there you can either
read the article if it interests you or choose not to read it, the choice is totally yours.
iPods and MP3 players:
My second choice is iPods and MP3 players. This particular mobile technology helped me with my own
learning tremendously. Out of the two technology’s I used the iPod the most to help with my own
learning. The iPod allowed me to download a lot of educational apps, and my overall favorite app that I
downloaded was the flash card app. This app allowed you to create flashcards with words and pictures.
This app helped me study for my jazz tests, as well as for my English vocabulary tests. This specific
mobile technology accommodated my active and visual learning preferences. This technology
accommodated my visual learning preference because it allowed me to make the flashcards and then
study them so that I could be readily prepared for my upcoming tests.
iPads and Tablets:
The third and final mobile technology that I chose was iPads and tablets. I think that the iPads design
looks really cool, and if I had the money I would definitely buy one. However, my mom has one and she
lets me use it whenever she is not using it. This mobile technology helped me a lot with learning on
own. As I stated above about in the iPod and MP3 section, I was able to download all the same apps on
my mom’s iPad that I was able to download on my iPod, which was a plus because the iPads screen is
much bigger and better for my visual learning preference. The learning preference that this mobile
technology accommodated is my verbal learning preference. This mobile technology let me download
apps that helped with my education on so many levels. There was an app that I downloaded that helped
people learn different languages, and this app was perfect for me because I really want to learn how to
speak French.
