Maximizing PebblePad for university life
The adventures at the university are a long and sweet journey filled with various stories. The experience of making new friends, achieving your goals, or even falling victim to an embarrassing story is all part of the university experience. Let me tell you where you can keep all these moments together in one application called PebblePad.
PebblePad is a personal learning space that fulfils all the needs for the activities at university. You may have heard of PebblePad but don’t know much about it, or you may never have tried it before. Here are a few things you need to know about using PebblePad.
Writing Blogs
For those of you who like writing or keeping a daily journal, PebblePad might be the right tool for you. PebblePad allows you to add audio, video and various other file types, which will maximize your writing. The PebblePad workspace is very easy to understand so you won’t have any difficulties while using it. There are various choices of themes or backgrounds, types of writing, and other styles that you can customize to make it look the way you want. You can also alter the settings so that the posts you upload can be seen by others or kept for yourself.
Asset Storage
PebblePad allows you to upload files where they will be stored online and are accessible anytime, anywhere. You can link to other storage areas such as OneDrive or Google Drive and you can also use different devices to make it easier for you to move files. Moreover, PebblePad can open files of standard types (word, excel, video or music files), so there is no need to switch applications or download other apps to open specific files.
Studying Activities
PebblePad supplies a space for students to bring together resources that support their studies. Whether you use it for assignments, working with friends collaboratively on a project, or to gather feedback from lecturers on your assignments, all your learning activities can be done on PebblePad!
Creating Portfolio and CV
You can also use PebblePad to create your ePortfolio and CV. You can customize the appearance of your own PebblePad to make it work for you and your needs. You can share important information about yourself, such as projects, achievements and awards. You can create pages for each category so that it looks more appealing. As PebblePad can load various documents, you can also create your own display and design.
