Reflection on PebblePad, created in PebblePad

PebblePad Reflection

I have found Pebblepad to be extremely user-friendly. As I've already mentioned, I was aware of pebblepad on a basic level as my PhD supervisor has been trying (in vain to this point) for years to persuade me to use it. I have started to think she may be right, especially as I have found to be straightforward.

I like the fact that it has so many different functions - it seems to be a diary, organiser and planner all rolled into one enabling you to organise many tasks throught the one program.

I like the compatability with other programs and the fact that material can be linked and published to external programs and to the web. It is also extremely simple to upload files, which on some programs is made over-complicated.

I'm not sure if I would use the program if it wasn't for the simplicity of combining many functions. Other programs can perform the individual tasks as simply but there are nt many which have as many functions presented in such a simple way.

The layout with the 'pebbles' is also easy to use and self explanatory...none of that infuriating IT speak!All in all, I've found it to be simple and useful, I will probably use it much more in future.
