23 Mobile Things - Thing 17

I picked Marshall Living and Minnesota 511 for Thing 17.  Marshall Living is a great place to see what is going on in the community of Marshall.  It is a quick way to look up what movies are playing at the Marshall 6 Theater.  It also has restaurants, churches, schools and everything that you would like to know about Marshall and surrounding communities.

I also picked the Minnesota 511 app.  It is a helpful app because it gives you the road conditions for the state of Minnesota.  This will be useful if we are thinking of traveling.

23 Mobile Things - Thing 18

I picked 2 apps for this Thing.  Google Earth and Today's Document.  I like Google Earth because it is fun to pick different locations and be able to see what they look like.  I zoomed in on our own house which was interesting.  Today's Document has a different document from history that you can read each day.  I am a history major so I find this interesting.

23 Mobile Things - Thing 20

I tried a variety of games and found some I liked and some I didn't.  I thought I would like Frogger but I didn't.  I remembered it from when I was younger but it didn't seem the same.  I really enjoy playing Bubble Mania and Candy Crush.  I also like Word Collapse and Word Warp.  I like playing the word games because one of my favorite games is Words with Friends.  They make you think.

23 Mobile Things - Thing 5

I picked the app Remember the milk.  I think this will help both at home and work.  It will eliminate all the pieces of paper laying around and will keep all my lists in one place.  It will also move the things you don't complete in one day to the next day.  I shouldn't forget things that way!  At some point I would like to try Bamboo Paper but I need to check on getting a stylus for my iPad.

23 Mobile Things - Thing 4

I downloaded the personal magazine Zite.  This is an amazing way to learn about things you are interested in.  I picked the topics DIY, Humor, Books, and Home Decorating.  I don't think I would want to pick too many topics because I could spend way too much time reading all the different articles!  It is a great way to learn about things that interest you though.  It was fun to read some of the articles about books, esp. the one about children's classics.  I could use this in my job as an elementary Media Assistant.

23 Mobile Things - Thing 3

     I downloaded RedLaser.  My favorite thing about this is the scan.  I think I would use this in my job to scan books.  You can scan the barcode and click on reviews.  This would be helpful to see what other people think about books I would consider for the library or storytime.  It will also show you all the different online prices for that book.  All of these things seem like they would be helpful in the library.
     I also downloaded the app Google Search.  This is an easy way to do a search on Google.  I also liked the part Google Books.  It is also easy to see the weather because it pops up for my area when I click on Google.
     I did not research other browsers because I am happy with Safari.

23 Mobile Things - Thing 2

What I learned most was how to use the control center from the bottom of the screen and the calendar from the top of the screen.  I like how easy it is to see your schedule for the day.  I also like the camera and it's different features that you can use by just sliding up and down on the screen.  My favorite thing is the multi-tasking where you can different things open and don't need to close them to work on something else.  I did not know that you could slide anywhere on the screen to unlock it - I thought you always had to slide where it showed it on the screen.
