Blog Assignment #2 Mobile Learning

Being on the Speech and Debate team often times we are required to gather quick facts to support our argument. The sad thing about schools outside of CBU is that they often times don't offer free wifi so using your laptop isn't ideal and this is where my phone has been most useful. I believe that the best way to do research via your phone is by downloading the Google Chrome App and setting it to Scholarly Articles and it filters your search to only academically credible sources. Now I will discuss the three most productive things to have on your phone to succeed in college. (This will have a bias opinion for Apple users). First the most important thing to have set up to your phone is your lancermail, this will be extremely helpful for getting the fastest alerts and staying well connected with your professors and your school. For CBU students here's a Link to help you get that set up. My second advice and this is best for student who take online classes would be to download the Blackboard App. It is very user friendly and you can set notifications for when teachers post test and when they post grades. This is one of those things that can either make you really happy or really sad, for example Saturdays at the beach you get a notification saying you got a 20/50 on a test would probably be a pretty great way to ruin the mood. Unless if you don't care then by all means continue to enjoy the Buns in the Sun. Finally the third App (Apple Users only)  I would recommend you get would be Pages by Apple and if you have a Mac I would recommend you sync it with your iCloud, that way if you start a paper on your laptop you can finish it on your phone. Or if your laptop dies and you really have to finish an assignment you can do it all on your phone. So there it is three Apps that should help the average student succeed in college.

Here I have also posted a video that I believe to be funny. Being a Political Science major I often times see campaign ads that I know are completely ridiculous. Here you see a Saturday Night Live ad that makes fun of Donald Trump and his supporters. I do not have a political opinion with this video at all, I just thought it would make the average knowledgeable person laugh. Now, if you don't find this humorous then here is another Saturday Night Live video that uses Star Wars and Undercover Boss.
