Handheld Learning: favourite apps

Like at the ALT-C conference there was also a Fringe at the Handheld Learning Conference. I enjoyed the Pecha Kucha session, especially the 6 minutes/20 slides presented by Tony Vincent “Doing it without software: web applications”.

It was mostly about his favourites apps, which included some tried and tested (like prezi) but also had some plain silly/ fun presentation. I liked  Pixton – so easy to create, it’s ridiculous. Check it out here. Not easy to embed the flash widget into WordPress though :(   In the end it had to be made into a jpg.

If you’d like to check out some of  the videos and podcasts from the conference, they can be accessed on Handheld Learning TV.  Which is just vids and pods on a blip account. But the name is impressive.
