There are tons of digital devices available for us to use in our busy lives. I'm not sure that all of these make life easier. I'm not even sure that some of them take less time. I also know that my budget can't afford all these new devices. I do know that I love gadgets!
You know what they say about boys and their toys. Something like; the boys get bigger and so do the toys. Well, so does the price tag.
I have subscribed to a list serve called Diigo Groups. My purpose was to try and keep informed about mobile digital devices. I receive an email daily from Daily updates in Group iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch Users Group. In the email are links to websites and articles about how these devices are used. There are some great ideas for using them in education. When I read or find one that is particularly interesting and educational useful, I pass it on to the teachers in my district.
You can subscribe to this group for Free. Get a free Diigo account at diigo.com. Choose "My Groups". Then search for iPods, iPads, or the name of your device. Click on the link that interest you. then click the "Join this group" button on the right hand side of the page. There are other reasons to join Diigo, but that is another story.
