A friend of mine has set up a forum for bird photographers and enthusiasts. He also has a site: http://worldbirds.awardspace.com/ where he's put in a lot of effort trying to list with images every known bird species on the planet as well as working towards protecting the environment. So if you're a bird enthusiast or photographer please register if possible on his forum, it'll be a morale boost for someone working so hard to preserve our birdlife and environment for future generations.

Thank you,
Akshay
Both these sites are cool!
ok guys i know this probably shouldnt be here. but as far as i know, xda community is one of the best educated , most creative bunch of android enthusiasts i could ever find
long story short: i guess you all saw the romo robot thing that uses your smartphone as a brain. and i have to achieve this huge senior project in systems and networking engineering for my last year in college. the point is i need new creative ideas on an app i can develop that uses this thing for a new purpose. please feel free to post any ideas you might ever have
device:rooted nexus s i9023
the company even produced its own sdk for devs
well i cant post links cz i'm kinda new here...jst google romo the smartphone robot to see what i'm talking about

How about a WiFi mapper? Romo wanders around the hallways of a building, sampling the Wifi signal strength. It produces a map of it's travels, annotated with the WifFi info (SSID, channels, signal strength).
yeah its not a bad idea. i even thought about that earlier. how big do you estimate the project to be? i need something that fairly takes 3-4 months.
smaller than that wouldn't be considered senior project material
In the field of education, technology has an important role because with the help of technologywe can cam make easy to education. Also, technology provides a lot of study materials through which you can learn anywhere in the world.
People have lost sight of the fact that, from an educational perspective, the most important technology ever created was the printing press.
With technology, students have a wider range of resources to learn from and a wider range of resources to conduct fact checks. I'm not sure of all the other benefits but that's all that comes to mind.

Sure. From another perspective, technology is an enabler in education. It is high time the brick and mortar universities decided on how to cut cost and embrace online learning platforms.

I cant put it any better.
But here are some factors that make me favor the integration of technology in education.
Firstly, most teenagers right now started using phones right from childhood therefore integrating mobile education just make it simple for them to grasp some of the concepts. Besides, with the introduction of Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence, it can only get better .

Technology is very useful in these for education. Even the school students have smart class, they can understand the concepts easily.
Education should be literate and tecnology...
Teachers themselves not only need to be literate, but they must also ensure that their students are able to access the information they need, are capable of determining the relative merits of the information obtained, and are able to represent the information they have gathered in new ways using the different forms of media available to them (print, video, audio, digital).
At present, technology has been imposed in our daily lives, therefore it is a vital need to learn and master them, since everything that surrounds us implies technology in one way or another,
With all lockdowns, technology is used more than ever for teaching and learning...
It will be useful if technology is implemented properly. But so far there's been a lot of bad attempts
It's pretty important for any essay writer to compose unique texts for the customers. If it would be not unique, client can refuse from the payment.
AI/CAD Robotics teacher's!
It's almost impossible to imagine education process without using tech in it. Agree?
For example https://idscan.net/. Employing student ID scanners and school visitor management software dramatically improves school safety and security by denying access to unauthorized individuals and granting access to those approved, all in real-time. Did you even know about that?
"The media is the message."
Hmmm...
Technology is the message.

I am interested in 3D printing and I think it’s a great idea to use 3D printing in educations. It is not easy to have young students figure things out without the benefit of visualization. A visual learning environment improves their understanding of the world, being able to touch and see their projects. It’s a great opportunity for graphic, geography, chemistry students. But 3D printers are expensive, and many educational institutions don’t have enough funding to buy them. I hope, this will change over time.

Absolutely agree that with the help of technology we can cam make education much easier. I have realized it in my own experience when I started studying with a tutor on preply. Just imagine I can study the language practising with a native. I'm sure that people have had no such opportunity for a couple of decades ago. And that's the basic thing that I could mention. The internet is a huge library where you can find everything you want. Also, it is possible to talk about the newest technologies like VR. It is insane.

Not near everything and it can be heavy censored/search biased.
Example, wiki keeps editing critical info out to fit their left and god knows what agenda.
Example, entry David Hedison ie Capt Crane from the TV show Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea was in the Navy. He was also a pretty good Navy boxer. It helps explain his physical prowess in fight scenes... it was real.
This critical fact was completely omitted by wiki.
Even chemical entries have been altered over the last few years removing important properties.
Technology is very important in education. Continuing education is crucial. That's why platforms for online learning are very good. MOOCs offer the opportunity for lifelong learning at international universities. You also get certifications. Free and available to all. Many websites are also a good source of knowledge. XDA is one of those websites. Without internet access all this wouldn't be available. The most important thing is that education never stops and various new technologies will make continuing education possible for many people.
Technology makes education more engaging, interesting, and you can get more information rather than using old books.
Android Auto, an Android initiative, claiming to be a 'safety assured app' is getting quite popular. Has anyone here used it? If yes, how beneficial has it been for you? I am working on a blog on it and looking forward to having a conversation to know about it better.
Boston’s Journey in app development
There was a time when the phrase “tech hubs” limited our thinking towards ‘Silicon Valley’ or some tech-savvy places like ‘San Francisco & NYC’. But little did anyone anticipate that Boston would soon join the race to take that crown. How did this happen? What factors led to this pragmatic shift?
"Hey there,
This is Tom and Andrew, Recognized Contributors on XDA."
Hey Tom, Andrew and every one.
I bumped into XDA first time, as I was trying to calibrate my Galaxy Watch sensors. I'm so amazed by the details available here. Though I never been part of any forum, XDA discussion on that topic gave me such a kick, I want to be part of the forum and I want to contribute, If I could.
Myself, with an Electrical Eng background, spent a good amount of life in EDA ( Electronic Design Automation / VLSI Design ) industry, I spend money to adopt new gadgets created by me fellow Electrical Engineers.
Currently my focus is to reinvent my math skills, to relearn classical mechanics with Lagrangian/Hamiltonian mechanics. My intention behind it is to get into robotics/mechtronics on my own like a college dropout. Let's find out what I would be able to contribute to XDA.... Bye!
