Pandora is a great way to listen to your favorite genre of music anytime you want while being introduced to new music at the same time. Pandora can be great for road trips or just chilling at home while doing something as simple as cleaning up. Its a live stream of any type of music you want, any artist, any album, or any song and it continues to play music that is related to what you want. This is a great creation and has revolutionized the way we listen to music today.

I decided to use an app for my images project called
instagram. Instagram is like the facebook or twitter of posting photos. It’s a
way to keep up with your friends everyday life by seeing what they are actually
doing while posting photos of what you are doing yourself. This app has really
gotten big over the last couple of months and has changed the way some
communicate in a sense.
Moblie Creativity Apps
- Draw something
Mobile Apps
Draw something is a great app that
really promotes creativity on how you see things. Within the first 50
days of release it was downloaded over 50 million times. The object
of the game is for one person to draw something from a list of 3
things, ranking them from easiest to hardest. The most difficult one
gets 3 stars while the easiest only gets one. The opposing player's
goal is to guess the drawing and only then will the drawer be awarded
the points.

- Mark on Call
Mark on Call is a creative app for
people who love designing things. To be a little more specific, this
app would be great for interior designers. This app allows you to
design a house any way you want to. It allows you to design the
rooms, enter furniture and simply do anything you want as far as the
interior goes.

- Djay
Djay is the #1 DJ app for i-tunes and
was the winner of the 2011 Apple Design Award. I feel like this is a
creativity app because I honestly see D-Jays as being artists. The
way that they mix songs together by speeding them, slowing them down,
and cutting them up is definitely a creative gift that everybody
doesn't have. This app allows you to do all of that and more. This
can be an app for people who probably can’t afford real turn tables
so they go for the miniature version.

- Androidify
Androidify is a simple app that you
would consider is just for kids, but in actuality it can be a
creative app that lets you create your own avatar. This app lets you
create your own android and do whatever you please with it. You can
do things like put hoody’s on it, shrink it, enlarge it, or even
put a pirate on its shoulder. This is a free fall type app that just
lets your imagination run wild!

Now songify is an app that lets you be
any kind of singer you want to be. This app turns spoken words into
music instantly. This is an ideal app for anybody who cant sing that
wants to. Just imagine saying anything that is turned into music
right off the bat. So anybody who wants to be a singer this is the
app for you!

Learning Opinion
I honesly believe learning is what you make of it. In order to actually find out how a person learns, you need to try every situation to see how that student or person responds. As the text says, learning is driven by understanding and persisting on some task. If a student does not understand the material then they will not learn. Some students are visual learners, comprehensive learners, or hands-on learners. I think that a successful way to learn is to incorporate all three of these aspects. Allowing students to learn in different situations improves your effectiveness as a teacher and ensures each person grasps the material. As a child, I always enjoyed doing hands-on work. It seemed as if physically maniplating objects helped me to become a better student. However, I also enjoyed working in groups and learning from my peers.
