DESCRIPTION
Go Global with Mobile! Do you often store important documents or files on an external storage device at school, home, or work? Maybe you even email those documents to yourself. Have you ever had to present to colleagues or at a conference and lost or damaged the flash drive where you had your presentation stored? Have you ever traveled and neatly tucked away your storage device in your suitcase, arrived at your destination and discovered that the airline has lost your luggage? Sure, you had a backup of your files, but the backup files were also on that device! Bummer! Let’s C.O.P.E. I am going to share information on free Web 2.0 tools that will help you C.O.P.E. in a mobile society. These applications are categorized by tools to help you Collaborate, Organize, Present/publish, and Excite you in teaching, and your students in learning. Let’s Go Global with Mobile to become more efficient and competent in our everyday personal, educational, and/or professional lives. Forget storage devices. Forget being confined to one computer/laptop. Be able to access anything and everything you need at any time with the use of a computer and the Internet. Interested?
