Could be bed-based learning too, even the beach, or on a boat; all tried for the purposes of testing the device and its possibilities.
TIPS FOR THE BATH
- Spare towel for the iPad when you put the thing down. I find this is when the water gets cold.
- Toe control of the hot tap.
- Contact lenses in (glasses steam up).
The context lends itself to a variety of e-learning topics, the marketing of bathroom products, shampoos in particular.
A glance might allow the sleuth to identify the make-up of family members.
Takes picture, though this could be uploaded directly to wordpress here I go for Picasa Web, then paste in the code.
DIY tips on a dripping tap would be handy, but isn't that e-training?
Otherwise normal bath activities apply:
- read a book,
- listen to the radio ...
- sleep
- wash
Surely 'mobile learning' in this context is a misnomer (or unnecessary nomer)
Was book reading ever called mobile or portable reading once cost and size meant that some people took the early printed books with them?
Being without a room of my own, or study even a habitable shed, garage or attic the advantage of having an iPad in the bath is that I am unlikely to be disturbed.
A laptop doesn't work, you get drips in the keyboard and sitting up spoils the point of the bath.
Where do you take your 'mobile device' and in what contexts, times and places is it suitable or conducice to learning?
I find a bench 'in memory to ... ' on cliffs looking over the English Channel at Hope Gap or the mouth of the River Cuckmere below the chalk cliffs of the South Downs known as the 'Seven Sisters' a place to write, especially at first light. For a couple of hours. Train journeys can be good too, so long as it isn't packed.
