Computer And / Or Hand Held Mobile Device

Phones are easy to use and very accessible by both students and teachers. “Smartphones allow us to take down notes any time, any place.” “smartphones allows you to access resources and material quickly before an exam.” “not only can we make videos, but we can also edit them, add text, filters, effects and more.” This is true because smartphones really do work in a way that is helpful to students and teachers. This evidence is supporting it by just stating that there are many cool and useful ways to use them.

As a health care provider, it is important to have an understanding of the most productive methods for patient education. Traditional methods of patient teaching has shown to not always be productive in instilling the knowledge that patients need to manage their illnesses. Electronic tablet-based patient education tools may be a more useful way of teaching self-management by providing patients with the instruments to improve management of chronic diseases. In this article, the challenges of implementation were stated so that health providers could be aware, moving forward, with technology advancement. Knowing the barriers of electronic tablet-based patient education allows appropriate planning, and preparation for a successful implementation in the clinical setting. There were no identifed weaknesses of this article; it is advantageous to all health care providers and

The iPad has become a revolutionary tool in the field of education. iPads make up 94 percent of the tablet market for the education sector (Schaffhauser 1). The iPad has numerous uses from storing multiple textbooks to being able to use a cloud based word processing application. The iPad is capable providing “over 65,000 apps just for education, interactive books on every subject, and speeches, virtual tours, and videos from experts and institutions around the world” (www.apple.com). The possibilities of the iPad are endless:

The centralized point for the patient information is an integral segment of the clinical transformation. Once an office has transfer from paper-based records to the electronic, he or she will make the records more accessible and easy to obtain through the Tablet PC. With a Tablet PC, doctors along with other medical staff can update a patient's record even when he or she is away from his or her workstation. The Tablet PC will increase the doctor's mobility because; he or she will be able to access the information virtually anywhere, which they would not have to depend on the nurses to pull the charts.

The XPRIZE article, “Students Build Apps for Peers in Special Education” by Joni Blecher, explains how students use the technology skills they have learned in school to help others in need of befitting from it. Allen Brooks is an entrepreneur turned teacher. During one of his days working at San Elijo Middle School in San Diego, he witnessed some students in need extra learning tools as they had disabilities that hindered them. When he saw these students in Mrs. Dudley’s class, he though of SMART Technologies’ SMART Tablet and how much it could benefit these students in need. He then put his computer students into groups of six to observe a class filled with disabled children. Brooks assigned his students to create an app that would help these

The overuse of some types of technology in our everyday lives, resulting in a diminished value for knowledge and education, is a growing problem in our society. For example, instead of focusing on reading a book many young adults will go on Instagram, YouTube, or Snapchat, which offer shortened

Mobile phones in a rudimentary form date back to the 1970s. Since 3G cellular networks made its debut on the scene in 2001, its usage has skyrocketed, particularly in the past few years (Hoyt, 2014). The Apple Newton personal digital assistant (PDA) became available in the market for a hefty cost of $700. Then, the Palm Pilot 1000 was released in 1996. Despite the improved design and memory, it didn’t gain much popularity until 1999 until Epocrates came out (Hoyt, 2014, p. 267). Clinicians welcomed Palm Pilots as the retrieval of drug information and medical pearls of wisdom became easier, when compared to carrying reference guides in their pocket. Following the early model of PDAs, newer PDAs with upgrades such as internet access, WiFi, and

Technology is everywhere, attached to us in almost every part of our daily lives. Places like café shops, home and as well at schools have technology. Nowadays, schools have technology devices like laptops or tablets that they use as a learning tool for students. Teachers and students use these devices in class for every subject. Text books have been replaced by the laptops or tablets, which are lend to each students in school and can take home. The devices have the apps for each of their subjects and students can read their text book in an e-book format. Additionally, students can do their homework on it, send messages to classmates or teacher, or play educational games that involves their current subjects. Although, these are convenient reasons to use devices in and after school, I must say I don’t agree. Technology devices should not be the primary way for students to learn in school. It has taken away the traditional passive learning pattern, some teacher are not helping or not teaching at all, and students are exposed to danger while walking towards school or home.

Do you ever wish that you could bring your own device to school? Just think how you wouldn't have to bring home all of your textbooks every night. Additionally, bringing our own devices would make our lives easier, better, and more organized. Overall, the school needs to open their eyes and realize that bringing devices is a must for their students to succeed in their upcoming future.St. John Neumann should let the students bring their devices to further our education.

In the pockets of millions of students, there resides a device able to access the totality of human knowledge, in an instant. To prohibit the usage of technology in an educational setting should be likened to banning books. If it is a school’s responsibility to cultivate the minds of its pupils, shouldn’t it utilize every available resource? These tools should be used to complement the curriculum, as well as instill in students the importance of using technology responsibly.

My students are constantly using their smartphones it seems that they are more interested in their mobile devices rather than learning. I would like to implement more technology in my classroom and make their smartphones an educational device, such as a research tool or a review device in Kahoot. Technology has become a part of everyday life for teenagers, I cannot teach the same way I did twenty-two years ago, students cannot be expected to stay on task with lectures and pencil-paper classwork. I want students excited to learn Biology and the use of technology will help them be more interested and make the subject more relevant to their

Throughout the day college students, high school students, middle school students and increasing number of elementary school students are constantly found on cell phones, lap tops, ipod, and ipads. They constantly text, email, instant message, instagram, and facebook, looking for anyway to become

In conclusion, it is clear that mobile phones are not necessary tool for education beside that they can be used as learning, researching, and communicating devices. They can produce many problems that make learners distract from education, feel sick and experience cheating. So it is our responsibilities to choose which one is good or bad about our lives.

The strategy used to find this article was first identifying a topic of interest in the overarching topic of contemporary technology in nursing, this topic was the use of mobile phone applications in either assisting in treatment or communication between nurses and their colleagues or nurses and their patients. A database search was then conducted using the key words “mobile” “applications” “nursing”, Both Science Direct and CINAHL databases were used but

Abstract. This paper is mainly discussing about the user interface design problems faced by the healthcare professionals in the healthcare industry with the applications in their handheld devices that assist them in dealing with daily routine work. The authors attempt to identify and address the key problems from the previous researches. To tackle these issues, a mobile user interface (UI) framework is reviewed as the basis for discussion and suggestion for improving future interface design for healthcare. The discussion also includes case study on the interface design of an existing medical applications available on iPhone as the example of evaluation.
