Online Learning Enviornment

I have had many online Learning experiences in the past as well as the present. I have a hectic schedule which doesn't allow me time to relax. In that time where I lack in relaxation, I make up for it in class. Well I fall asleep in class, and i really need a fall back to learning the material. I have had a great experience with Khan Academy in the past and I still use it. It has a wide range of material that you can cover and sometimes it does a better job at explaining the material than your teacher. It seems weird to me, that students have a variety of ways to learn outside of the classroom without actually attending class. Sites such as D2L and Moodle only seem like mediums for the teachers to hand out information; it doesn't show the action of teaching.

Teaching is a form of presenting information to the students. D2L and Moodle do not do this because they only give the information, not present it. Youtube also has instructional videos on how to do specific tasks not only related to school material. Youtube has helped me with workout routines, how to jailbreak my Ipod, how to cook.... Youtube and Khan Academy have provided me with the better form of online learning outside of the classroom, but I still prefer the classroom setting.

Mobile App Review

The mobile app I am reviewing is the WolframAlpha app which is available for the following platforms: Iphone/Itouch, Ipad, Android, Kindlefire and Nook. The cost is $3.99 and can be obtained from whatever appstore platform you have. You can also get it from http://products.wolframalpha.com/mobile/. The app has many uses which are listed below. It has been designed to make the life of people on the go easier. It is one of the most versatile apps out there that I have used. Personally, I really only use it for math equations that I do not know how to solve. In the aspect of math, I have realized that it really helps me work through problems for calculus. It even has a step by step analysis of how to work problems. I actually remember using this app back in my freshman year of college. I had a grad student as a teacher and I could never follow her. I would actually use this app in class to understand the material. This app is definitely worth the cost. I would highly recommend this app for many people that have the same problem in math.
