5. Using QR Codes

6. QR codes every day

7. QR codes every day

8. To scan, you need a QR code reader. Android iOS Not one of these? Check your app store/online for a reader for your phone. BB, I’m told, has one built into the system.

9. No smartphone? Try Snapmyinfo.com

10. To create, you need a QR code generator. URLShorteners Sites Snap.vu QRjumps.com GoQR.me QRstuff.com Goo.gl Bit.ly

11. In Bitly.com

12. In Bitly.com

13. GoQR.me, QRstuff.com & QRjumps.com options for encoding, sizes & output

14. GoQR.me, QRstuff.com & QRjumps.com options for encoding, sizes & output

15. GoQR.me, QRstuff.com & QRjumps.com options for encoding, sizes & output

16. Fantastic ideas for QR codes. http://bit.ly/i9JO59 from Tom Barrett & Paul Simbeck-Hampson

17. Collecting Student Responses & Artifacts in Posterous

18. Posterous. Dead simple sharing.

19. Make a statement (text, photo, video) about mobile teaching & learning. Put your name in the Subject Line. SMS Send a text to xxx-xxx-xxxx MMS Send an email to post@viralnotebook.posterous.com Email Send an email to post@viralnotebook.posterous.com

20. Normal. Email post in with post@posterous.com Posterous recognizes the address & posts it to your site. Other email addresses can be added as contributors. Posterous will recognize these addresses then post automatically. Ways to post in Posterous.

21. Normal. A singlecellphone number can be entered to post. SMS to 41411 Format: POST Message. Posterous does not accept MMS. (It will accept MMS with an email.) Ways to post in Posterous.

22. Allowing others to post without adding emails. Under Settings >> Commenting & Posting Set to “Anyone can post, I will moderate.” Ways to post in Posterous.

23. Allowing others to post without adding emails. Under Settings >> Commenting & Posting Set to “Anyone can post, I will moderate.” Others can email to post@yoursite.posterous.com Others can MMS to post@yoursite.posterous.com Ways to post in Posterous.

24. Bypassing Posterous' Limit to One Cell Number Directions at http://bit.ly/mobileteach Note: Google Voice does not support MMS. Ways to post in Posterous. Posterous Google Voice Gmail

25. “Anyone can post.” I don’t recommend keeping this setting 24/7. Just for security & piece of mind. Consider a private site. I have not tried these posting options with a private site. Please let me know what works. Consider a Posterous site as an add-on. Recommendations

26. Deploying Mobile Learningwith MOBL21

28. Log in with email & content code.

29. Create content online for students.

31. iPod Touch

32. Desktop with Adobe AIR

33. Android & Blackberry

35. MOBL21 is a lot like a mobile CMS.

36. Content is organized hierarchically.

37. Another way to think about it. Categories >>> Chapters Stacks >>> Lessons Content >>> Pieces of a lesson

38. Groups are made up of users. For differentiation, put users in different groups. Categories are pushed to groups under Share.

39. Media. Audio/video: 20 MB max All images must be uploaded. No streaming. No embedding. gif, jpg, jpeg, png, m4v, mp4, mov, aac, aiff, mp3 Content. Only 1 study guide per Stack. There are limits.

40. Begin with learning in mind. Be selective on what goes mobile. Determine which lessons would benefit from mobile/more access. Begin with the learner in mind. Which learners would benefit from increased access to content (e.g., practice, additional content)? Think pedagogically.

41. Remember your mobile toolbox. This doesn’t have to be the only mobile tool you employ. Consider others we’ve touched on today, as well as combining with other social media. Think pedagogically.
