Also they can contact me by my email.

Mobile devices:
This is a new media that I really enjoyed to use it. I learned a lot of new things about the uses of the mobile devices in ETEC 676 last summer. There are different types of mobile devices such as, cell phone, net books, handheld computers, and more. Teachers and students use handheld devices as tools in schools. This makes learning easier for example; teachers can communicate with students anytime and anywhere by using texting, emailing, and chatting. Moreover, I can use my iphone to do a lot of things too. For example: Talking & Text-messaging with my family and my friends over seas. Checking my email and my blog. Some time I buy some thing for my husband and my daughter through my Iphone with out need to go the malls "
