MTR Update June 2016

Welcome to the first Monthly Mobile Technology Resource Update.

The aim of the Mobile Technology Resource is to collate the training materials, user guides, the apps and any other resources that are used in one place. Enabling people to share resources that they are going to create, or already have created.

There is a wealth of knowledge within the network. There are people and organisations that are doing amazing work and using mobile technology in innovative ways – it would be a shame not to share to the benefit of all.

The Mobile Technology Resource is a living resource, so if you have any suggestions, requests or content to add or update please do so. Either by contacting me directly or by accessing the Mobile Technology Resource.

There are currently 153 registered users on the Mobile Technology Resource. You can access the Mobile Technology Resource by going to the Karten Network website (https://karten-network.org.uk/) and entering your login details in the login block located on the left-hand-side of the page. The Mobile Technology Resource can be found under the “Members” tab. If you are not logged in and click on that link it will prompt you to login.

If you have forgotten your password you can create a new password. You do this by going to: https://karten-network.org.uk/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
and entering either your user name or e-mail address.

If you have not been added as a user to the Mobile Technology Resource or wish to have additional logins for your organisation, please contact me.

One of the recent issues which a number of organisations within the Network seems to be struggling with is the transfer of photos and videos from iPads to computers. At the Seashell Trust they make extensive use of the Photo Transfer App. Details of the app can be found in the “Apps” section of the Mobile Technology Resource. There is also a quick reference guide which includes instructions on how to use the photo transfer app in the “User Guides” section.

A similar app is AirMore, a free app for both iOS and Android. Details can also be found in the “Apps” section of the Mobile Technology Resource.

What apps do you use? Do you have any guides or other resources that the can be shared with the network? Please add them to the Mobile Technology Resource, or send them to me to add them.

Should you require an help, or have any questions or comments please feel free to e-mail me: martin@karten-network.org.uk

Until next month, best wishes,
