 * What is ELTC mobile? **

Welcome to the wiki page of the University of Sheffield ELTC's mobile learning page. The purpose of this page is to give information to students at the ELTC about how to improve their English using the mobile devices they own (such as mobile phones and MP3 players) and to help you get the most out of your phone/mobile device.

By joining ELTC Mobile, you will get useful information about:


 * using different features on your mobile phones such as the dictionary/voice recorder to help you learn English.


 * Who runs ELTC Mobile? **

ELTC Mobile is run by me, David Read, a teacher at the ELTC and a mobile phone enthusiast. Apart from working at the ELTC, I also helps write reviews for well known mobile phone site, called [|GSM Arena]I strongly believe that mobile devices are a great way to learn English outside of class and to help and supplement your learning inside class as well.


 * Is ELTC Mobile a class? **

No. It is a group rather than a class. We do not meet outside of lesson; instead we stay in contact using a variety of online and mobile tools, such as SMS, Facebook and Edmodo (this will be explained later) and form an electronic community.


 * Who can join? **

Any student at the ELTC can join this group, though obviously it is helpful if you have a mobile phone!


 * How do I join?

All you need to do to join is to contact me, David Read, by SMS/email using the number/address on the posters in the classroom (I don't include it here as these are public pages and I want to avoid spam!) and say 'I am interested in joining ELTC Mobile, my name is .........., my mobile number is .......... and my email address is .........

Once you have sent that information to me, I will send you an email/SMS confirming that I got your message and adding you to the list of participants in the ELTC Mobile. **
