How a Mobile Device Helps us Succeed in Academics

By Gareth Jale


Students today can't get anywhere without using a computer and the Internet while getting his or her education. As a student, you are always having works that need to be typed or researched. These call for a computing device, a device that will enable you as a student conveniently research and type your work.

With the advent of smart phones, these needs have been addressed. In a smart phone you get the double duty of a personal computer along with your cellular handset. Today, there are a number of mobile phone manufacturers who are manufacturing these great devices. Despite the huge variety out there, these smart phones usually follow the same goal.

Brick and mortar libraries may be a thing of the past for students conducting research these days. Now, you can find all the resources in the library right in the palm of your hand with a smart phone. With your smart phone, you as a student are able to access the internet and do all the research that you need. You are able to surf the internet using the smart phone's fast internet connection and get all the information you need within the shortest time possible. Instead of going to the physical library and waste the whole day going through piles of books looking out for a single; you just type the topic of interest on the search engine, which easily accessible from the home screen of your phone and within no time you will have a list of websites with information on the topic of interest.

At school, typing needs are always coming up. You have assignment and projects that need to be typed for presentation, in either soft or hard copy. With your smart phone, this need is catered for. This phone features the entire QWERTY keyboard at your fingertips, making typing effortless right from your phone. The phone also has the option of connecting an external keyboard. This option is particularly useful if you find you are not great at typing on the small keypad on the phone. This can enable you as a student to write down the lecture notes as the professor talks. Instead of writing the notes down on paper, you just type them into your smart phone.

There are also voice and video recording options on this smart phone. These features allow you to capture clear images and sounds that can be played back later. As a student, you can use your smart phone to record the lecturer as he teaches. Later, you can listen to the lecture when it is convenient for you. With the rewind options, you will be able to rewind the media to allow for complete understanding of what was been taught. If it is a practical session, you will be able to record the motion images and view later. Learning becomes much more enjoyable and effortless this way. It is easy to listen or watch recorded sessions than reading notes taking during a lecture.

Like all other touch screen devices running on the Android platform, one can write notes on the screen. By use of a stylus, one can write notes on the Smart phone screen. A stylus is one of the many accessories for Motorola Droid 4, and other accessories may include travel chargers, Motorola Droid 4 case, MicroSD storage and Motorola Droid 4 screen protector among others. Having your smart phone and a stylus is like having a traditional book and pen.
