Did you know that your mobile phone can be the best tool for education? If you have an Android-powered device, it is even simpler for you to find and set up the learning applications. Mindlessly scrolling through news and Facebook or Twitter feeds might also be part of the learning process. After all, people tend to share things that can expand one’s view. Many users of social networks share valuable knowledge and skills (e.g., how to earn money or which major to choose).
As The Journal reports, 73% of teachers said their students use tablets or mobile phones every day. It makes them irritated as not all tutors see the benefits of technologies. Prove it to them by showing off some of these apps.

During the conferences and lectures of famous people, they usually forbid to record the speech of the speaker.
