Teacher recommends mobiles in schools to help kids learn

2008-01-03T19:40:00.001+03:00

London, Jan 2 (ANI): If you think that giving mobile phones to your kids can only create problems, then you are surely mistaken - for a primary school teacher is proposing the use of cell phones to help children learn.

Sharon Tonner believes that mobile phones can prove to be a powerful educational tool.

However, her ideas are not welcomed by fellow teachers, who fear that kids may use mobiles to make playground attack videos or to post illicit pictures of staff on the Internet.

While in many schools, switching on mobiles or even bringing them has been banned completely, Tonner, at Dundee High junior school, is refuting this anti-mobile culture.

Tonner, being the school's first ICT specialist, teaches primary pupils to use Bluetooth, camera, video and voice recorder functions.

She even said that other teachers should benefit from the technology to make the students learn.

"They can use the voice recorders for French, for example. Normally when children have to learn words when they get home they can't remember how to say them. But the teacher could Bluetooth recordings of how to pronounce words. They would be able to look at the words and hear them at the same time so they should learn them more quickly," the Scotsman quoted her, as saying.

"Another use is in music. They get home and have the words in front of them but can't remember how the music goes. It only takes two minutes to Bluetooth a whole class and you can guarantee they'd have it in their ears and listen to it more than they'd read it," she added.

Tonner admitted to the fact that other teachers considered it taboo to use mobile phones in school at all.

"They still do see mobile phones negatively. I think people see computers as very negative because of cyber-bullying but teachers have to embrace what the children are using," said Tonner.

"We have seen how they could be used negatively but we have to learn how to control that. Five years ago when they put computers in classrooms many teachers wouldn't touch them. Within ten years we will be using mobile phones and hand-held computers to help pupils with their school work," she added. (ANI)

It also lets you sync your content from the iTunes library on your PC or Mac. And then you can access it all with just the touch of a finger.

iPhone is a revolutionary new mobile phone

iPhone is a revolutionary new mobile phone that allows you to make a call by simply pointing your finger at a name or number in your address book, a favorites list, or a call log. It also automatically syncs all your contacts from a PC, Mac, or Internet service. And it lets you select and listen to voicemail messages in whatever order you want ? just like email.

iPhone is a breakthrough internet device

iPhone features a rich HTML email client and Safari ? the most advanced web browser ever on a portable device ? which automatically syncs bookmarks from your PC or Mac. Safari also includes built-in Google and Yahoo! search. iPhone is fully multi-tasking, so you can read a web page while downloading your email in the background over Wi-Fi or EDGE.

Multi-touch

iPhone features the most revolutionary user interface since the mouse. It?s an entirely new interface based on a large multi-touch display and innovative new software that lets you control everything using only your fingers. So you can glide through albums with Cover Flow, flip through photos and email them with a touch, or zoom in and out on a section of a web page ? all by simply using iPhone?s multi-touch display.

Intelligent Keyboard

iPhone?s full QWERTY soft keyboard lets you easily send and receive SMS messages in multiple sessions. And the keyboard is predictive, so it prevents and corrects mistakes, making it easier and more efficient to use than the small plastic keyboards on many smartphones.

Wireless

iPhone uses quad-band GSM, the global standard for wireless communications. It also supports Cingular?s EDGE network, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR, which links to Apple?s new, remarkably compact Bluetooth headset.

Built-in Advanced Sensors

iPhone?s accelerometer detects when you rotate the device from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes the contents of the display, so you immediately see the entire width of a web page or a photo in its proper landscape aspect ratio.

The proximity sensor detects when you lift iPhone to your ear and immediately turns off the display to save power and prevent inadvertent touches until iPhone is moved away.

An ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the display?s brightness to the appropriate level for the current ambient light, thereby enhancing the user experience and saving power at the same time.

Sony Ericsson W950i

2007-06-04T15:28:00.000+03:00

A few news sites in the Middle East tipped us off earlier, but now we've got it straight from Sony Ericsson that the W950i Walkman is indeed for real and is indeed sporting 4GB of sweet sweet flash memory. We're not so sure about this whole "Mystic Purple" color scheme they've got going, but there's a lot else to love, including UMTS, tri-band GSM, a rather large QVGA screen, and a 0.6-inch thickness. The Symbian OS phone also has Opera 8, Macromedia Flash Lite, video playback support, and a built-in FM radio to augment the standard Walkman MP3/AAC capability. We'll have to try the smooth keypad before we pass final judgement, but while ***y looking, it doesn't seem like it'll make one-handed texting any easier.

W950i
W950i Walkman� is a slim and stylish mobile phone with an advanced digital music player and large touchscreen for optimal ease of use. Using W950i is easy. The keypad of the slim W950i is smooth and flush with the surface and the dedicated music player keys and other controls have one-press-to-open functionality.
