  • Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Mobile Devices in a University Language Classroom
    1 Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Mobile Devices in a University Language Classroom Robert CHARTRAND Abstract Advances in tablet computers and cell phone technology have greatly improved recently and such devices are now widely used. Language teachers have especially been interested in using these devices as a means of providing learning opportunities. Reading online content from eBooks or the Internet, listening to music and watching videos are all activities which support the learning of languages. There are, however, a number of problems that have arisen when using mobile learning in a language classroom. The smaller screen, for example, makes it difficult to read content and input text with the online keyboard. Technical problems such as difficulty connecting the Internet, hardware failures and software issues are all common problems. Moreover, distractions from students who do not stay focused on the assigned tasks are becoming a classroom management issue as well. Some of the advantages and disadvantages of using mobile devices in a language classroom at a university setting are discussed in this paper. Keywords: Mobile device, language learning, classroom management, advantages, disadvantages The Advent of Mobile Devices A mobile device can be defined as a small handheld computer that has a touch display or a small keyboard for text input. Mobile phones, smartphones, tablet computers, eBook readers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and other similar devices can all be defined as mobile devices (Kukulska-Hulme, Sharples, Milrad, Arnedillo-Sánchez, & Vavoula, 2009). Although handheld devices have been available commercially since Apple Computer released the Apple Newton MessagePad in 1993, Palm Inc. released the Palm Pilot in 1996, and Microsoft Corporation released the Tablet PC in 2001.

  • Newton Mail V User's Guide
    Newton Mail V User’s Guide This booklet tells you how to set up and use the Newton Mail V internet e-mail transport. For the background on Newton e-mail, please refer to Apple’s Newton E-Mail guide [1]. Mail V supports the SMTP and IMAP4 protocols for sending and receiving e-mail. Getting Started There are several things you need to do in order to use e-mail. ■ You need to create an Internet setup using the Newton Internet Enabler (NIE) [5] so that your Newton device can communicate with your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or intranet. ■ If you’re using a modem, you need to set your modem preferences. ■ You need to set up Mail V [7], of course. Once these steps are done, you should be able to use e-mail on your Newton device. Note Because Mail V uses the Newton Internet Enabler, it will only work with Newton 2.x devices. It will not work on the Original MessagePad (OMP), MP100, MP110 or early models of the MP120 which use Newton 1.x. ◆ 1 Installation System Update If you don’t already have the latest Newton System Update [4], you should install that first. To find out your system version: 1! Open the Extras Drawer and tap the Information button. 2! In the list that appears, tap Memory Info. A slip appears showing you your ROM Version at the bottom left. When Apple abandoned Newton on 27 February 1998, the versions were: ! US & International English! German MP120! 2.0 (516263)! 2.0 (536205) MP130! 2.0 (526205)! 2.0 (536205) MP2000! 2.1 (717145)! 2.1 (747260) MP2100! 2.1 (717260)! 2.1 (747260) eMate 300! 2.1 (737246) Since then Paul Guyot has created a 2.1 (710031) update for the English MP2000 and MP2100 that fixes a Dates/Find bug.

    AccessionIndex: TCD-SCSS-T.20170830.010 Accession Date: 30-Aug-2017 Accession By: Hans-Jurgen Kugler Object name: Apple Newton MessagePad 2000 Vintage: c.1997 Synopsis: Apple personal digital assistant (PDA) with handwriting recognition, plus keyboard and power supply, Model: H0149, S/N: ????. Description: The Apple Newton was introduced in Aug-1993 after a 6-year gestation that also involved gestation of the company Advanced RISC Machines (ARM). It began with ambitious goals but eventually was re-imagined as a personal digital assistant (PDA). Similar devices had existed for a decade, for example the Psion Organiser was introduced in 1984, but they were not called PDAs. Not only did the Newton introduce the term PDA, but it also became the first such device to feature handwriting recognition. The Newton was championed by John Sculley, and then discontinued by his rival Steve Jobs in 1998 after the latter rejoined Apple. It is very likely that the concept led directly to the iPad and iPhone. An operating system, NewtonOS , and a language, NewtonScript , were invented for it, with garbage collection, soup storage and user-interface toolkit, specifically tuned for designs with large ROM and small RAM capacities. The original Newton MessagePad (Model H1000 or Junior ) had a 20MHz ARM 610 CPU, 4MB of ROM, 640kB of RAM, a 336 x 240 monochrome display, RS422 serial and LocalTalk interfaces, and SHARP ASK infrared communications. It also had one PCMCIA-II slot (5V or 12V). It ran NewtonOS versions 1.0-1.11, and it could be powered either from four internal AAA or NiCd rechargeable batteries or an external power supply.

  • Using Picture Comments for Printing B
    APPENDIX B Using Picture Comments for Printing B This appendix describes the picture comments predefined by Apple Computer, Inc., for its PostScript printers and several of its QuickDraw printers (including the LaserWriter SC, ImageWriter LQ, and StyleWriter printers). This appendix introduces you to the use of picture comments for printing with features that are unavailable with QuickDraw alone. For most applications, sending QuickDraw’s picture-drawing routines to the printer driver is sufficient: the driver either uses QuickDraw or converts QuickDraw routines to PostScript code. See the chapter “Printing Manager” in this book for information about QuickDraw-based printing. For some applications, such as page-layout programs, QuickDraw-based printing may not be sufficient; such applications may rely on printer drivers—such as PostScript printer drivers—to provide features that are not available, or are difficult to achieve, using QuickDraw. For PostScript printers, one solution is for your application to send PostScript code directly to the printer driver, but this approach requires you to know the PostScript language as well as QuickDraw. If your application requires features (such as rotated B text and dashed lines) that are unavailable with QuickDraw, you may instead want to Using Picture Comments for Printing Using Picture Comments for use picture comments to take advantage of these features on capable printers. Created with the QuickDraw procedure PicComment, picture comments are data or commands for special processing by output devices such as printer drivers. The PicComment procedure is introduced in the chapter “Pictures” in this book and is expanded upon in this appendix. IMPORTANT The picture comments supported by Apple printer drivers are described on page B-7.
