Pocket’ is very well rounded in all uses for learning, and works very well with other PLN’s, even other apps, and fucntions as an RSS. It’s very similar to Diigo, in which you can share information with others, or save the information for later. Pocket seems to basically keep track of your PLN’s with hashtags, video content, articles, etc. So, if we use PLN’s for musical engagement, why not keep track of all of them… in your pocket! It’s just another organizational devise for online musical engagement and learning through these PLN’s.
Questions about the app: Is it child-user friendly? Can it be used inappropriately? Is there a means of communication with other Pocket users integrated within the app?
Some aspects of the app that are due for further exploration are: What sort of other apps can function in unision with Pocket? Since I haven’t used it yet myself, how easy is it to navigate? Is this a functional form of RSS? (Will it ever replace Diigo???)
