Five reasons to read IgnatiaWebs and some other low-resource idea links

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to meet Inge/Ignatia in person at Future of Mobile. I have found her thoughts on mobile learning a true inspiration. If you haven’t had a chance to look at [1] IgnatiaWebs before here are five reasons:
1.The design and font choice on the blogs allow for very quick and easy reading.
2.Videoblogging examples - if you are new to using videoblogging, you can look through posts labelled vlog and there are heaps of ideas.
3.She is blogging about her blogging journey itself too, finding the good, bad and ugly which as a fairly new blogger myself, is extremely interesting.
4.Practical informal learning in low resource settings - as mentioned in the blog’s header, sharing of ideas about learning in low resource settings is invaluable. If you are being plagued by concerns about budget, time and ‘deployment’ of learning or if you are thinking about starting up a social project, [2] Techsoup is my first choice starting place, but I particularly like the posts relating use of mobile video, its a great example of how not to ‘overthink’ and come up with a complex learning solution that would probably be out of date by the time you got round to implementing it.
As in increasing areas of the world, mobile learning is being used without having to go through lots of pc learning too - where bandwidth has been an issue for large scale computer use - mobile phones are providing a quicker and more reliable (in terms of not losing a connection halfway through a conversation, or other weird and wonderful traditional landline ‘delights’) way to communicate
5.Sharing presentations through Slideshare - lots of bloggers doing this too, its such a nice, quick way to share presentations, now you can [3] slidecast too
Some other ‘low resource’ mobile solutions/ideas are linked from this blog but thought I’d stick in a list here too:
[4] Share Ideas
[5] Mobile Active
[6] Mobile Metrix
[7] David Lehr’s blog
If anyone knows of any others, would love to hear from you
