Task 3c: Sources of information

My 5 most important sources of information are:
1 Goggle
2 IPhone
3 Facebook
4 you tube
5 Blog
1.       Google
Through Google I can do just about anything, I seem to be using Google a lot more since starting the BAPP course, I am aware of its benefits and the ease of using this tool, I find it hard to think of life without it. The benefits it as on my life is invaluable. Online email service Gmail the Google Document Office and Google+ social networking service. You can research anything. It certainly helps our education as it’s so easy to find information out. Google’s products extend to the desktop as well, with applications such as the Google Chrome web browser, the Picasa photo organising and editing software, and the Google Talk instant messaging application. These services help me to keep up with the busy life style I lead.
2.       IPhone
My iPhone is extremely important to me it means that information can be found easily whilst on the go without taking a lap top everywhere with you. Sending and receiving emails booking of events confirming and of course using the phone to make calls. All the amazing applications that are available finding cheap deals book holidays, shop, restaurants, and having games and music is means that I couldn’t now live without my phone.
3.       Facebook
Using Facebook is a great marketing tool for my dance school, students are able to chat away about events and achievements , I have found friendship develop with students who dance on different days, which is really nice to see the older students giving the younger students advice and help. It’s also good for inviting Facebook users to the dance or drama shows.
4.       You tube
You tube is very important to me. I use you tube to search for new styles of dance and when I am choreographing dances to give me new ideas which inspires me to open my thinking
5.       Blog
I really enjoy using my blog and reading other blogs which inspires my thoughts and sometimes can completely change my thoughts. It certainly helps with the BAPP course to know others are at an easy reach to discuss learning and thoughts. I do know that I haven’t been writing on as many blogs as I would have liked which I now understand to develop my learning I need to be more involved in other blogs.

  1. Interesting concept with the iPhone, and one that didn't occur to me. We store our lives on our phone and it does eliminate the need for a laptop! However, I don't think I could do all this with my phone as the battery would drain too fast!

  2. I agree the battery does drain far to quick but it is handy for me as i am always on the go. I take a charger with me which is a bit of a pain but worth it.
