Pandora Commercial

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


           Mobile Apps
  • Draw something
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.

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!

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.
