"Applications and Web Services for Mobile Devices"
"Your blog post response should be a review of a variety (3-5) of mobile device applications and/or web services that you find interesting. Be sure to list where you accessed the application or web service. Be sure to provide an explanation of how you could use the application or web service for learning. Note: you don’t have to try these on a mobile device to review them, but if you do please indicate so. Be creative and have fun!"

I read a web pages and listen to the podcast in session 3 and i like to write about what i learn from there:
First: "Twitter" I like it and I registered there. there are many amazing ideas in it ,you can be always contacted to local news ...on the other hand keep people updated about each other for example : I send to my friends in Saudi Arabia that they should register in twitter three of them like the idea and register.
scoand:
I enjoyed reading the "8 Must-Have Education Apps for iPhone" that was dr newberry post it in session 3 , I have 3 of them before I red this page ; "myHomework","Art Lite" and "Facebook". also i use:
Google map for iPhone:
I using "Google map" to found the closest restraint , cvs , coffeshop and the malls .third: I learned a lot from "Kathy Schrock's Kaffeeklatsch" , for example;
* "Ask A Word: a free spellchecker, thesaurus, dictionary, and encyclopedia. " I like this one because the English is the scound lunggh to me, and I need this to the new words to me .
* "iPhone Web Docs:create folders on a virtual desktop, save your notes, and even embed URL's; a very useful tool accessible from a desktop, too, for printing or editing." I really like it.

Summary :
This article explain how audio files is being used by students in higher education, specifically the podcasts .There are many purposes of using the audio files. The author definition podcast as an audio and/or video file that is available as an internet download or online streaming content.
Use of audio in geosciences instruction and student who using the tape recordings were getting better grades. The students were surveyed about their knowledge on how to utilize the audio files and if they believed the audio to be of some use. There are three Tables in this article:
first one was about “Survey question asking students about their awareness to download audio to portable audio players.”
The second one was “Survey question asking students about their awareness to download audio to CDs or flash drives.” also included many comments from both students who listened to the MP3 files and the students that did not .
The tired one was about “ Survey question asking students about the desire to have lecture podcasts.”
Review:
I recommend this article for student who are interested in using audio files, specifically podcasts. Because it is very helpful for student .

Summary:
the maen aidea of this journal is that “ USA is laging behind Asia and Europe in the use of handheld technologies to enhance learning.” This study focus on how HANDHELD mobile devices can be used to enhance learning. The report's author examined more than 25 handheld devices and research projects to explore the current use of mobile technology in learning. The end of journal stressed the importance of handheld devices in the classroom.
Review:
This is a good journal to who want to know about the why handheld devices are important in the classroom. It is a small journal you can read it fast and know some new and good ideas.

Summary:
The article explore how the students like to use Ipod, also there are many example for that from Elementary School in Omaha, Orange County, and in Scotland. Ipod was used From kinder garden to college. Easily accessible audio and visual, the design , the size that make ipod to becoming an essential educational tool. There are many teachers and administrators thinking of introducing the iPod into their classrooms and schools. This article include some teachers opinion to how important to use ipod with their students. A common hindrance, however, is lack of resources. “Have enough iPods for the project.” In the end of the article there are some question: “Boon, or bane? The debate continues”” Will educators choose to swim with the tide, or against it?”
Review:
Interesting article, make you think about how the ipod is an important tool for student and education. I enjoyed reading this article .

Summary:
“The focus of this research in the field of accessible mobile learning is influenced by our previous experiences in designing adaptable and accessible learning objects which could be accessed on a variety of different mediums and platforms.”
“This paper discusses the concept of a transformation, adaptation and substitution service by examining a specific use case, which explored the requirements for the delivery of a learning object in different mediums, by adapting a web based learning object to a PDA and vodcast version, as well as including enhancements for accessibility. The concept of a learning object as a vodcast has been well received, especially by deaf learners using captions, but further evaluation is required in order to determine its pedagogical effectiveness and more complex accessibility requirements. Also suggests an approach for learning designers to respond to these new challenges, by presenting the concept of a transformation”
This work has focused on applying the TAS service to learning objects.
Research project work in the field of learning objects, placing a pedagogical emphasis on the design and development of multimedia learning material
“This particular case study has a twofold aim, first to identify and model the TAS service in terms of requirements for delivery of a learning object in different mediums - starting with a learning object originally designed for web delivery and adapted first for delivery on a PDA, and then for delivery with accessibility enhancements on a video MP3 player as a vodcast. The second aim is to explore vodcasting technology and its potential to support flexibility and accessibility in the learning environment.”
There are some Background researches.
“An action research approach was adopted for this case study of problem definition and analysis (plan), development (act), trial and evaluation of results (observe) and consideration of the implications of the results to the wider study (reflect)”
There are some Student opinions of the learning vodcast.
Review:
This is a good article for any one who wants to know about vodcasting in learning. it is best on many good researches .

Summary:
This article show how important to diversify the way their learning and teaching activities are delivered to students. “ This project aimed to investigate the potential for accessible vodcasting and explore the requirements for creating adaptable learning objects that could be delivered in an accessible format on a portable video media player.” there was focus to examining the navigation, interactivity, design and content. Also explain the flowing “Learning Objects Adaptations”, “Analysis of sample learning materials”,“The learning objects were authored in Macromedia Flash”. There are some of student opinions of the learning vodcasts .
Review:
I found this article interesting and helpful for every one how want to learn about how important to diversify the way their learning and teaching activities.
