I'm really interested in applying educational mobile apps to learning settings. The below ppt is research about educational mobile apps with iPhone. I would like to share it with peers. Enjoy that.

A) I would like to learn about emerging technologies and how they can be used for the field of education. Moreover, I want to get fresh view from other classmates and develop new ideas to apply new technologies to real education environment through collaboration. B) My previous major was electronic engineering and had worked as a software engineer for over five years at Samsung electronics. Also, I’m working as a learning media researcher and mobile application developer since 2010 with Paul Kim at Stanford University. I developed several mobile education applications with Androids and tested them over the world. For example, United States, India, Argentina, Malaysia and Rwanda. I feel my working is highly related to this course and think my practical experience will be helpful to all peers.
