Test Your Smartphone Smarts #1

For the last year and a half we’ve been presenting a weekly lesson on smartphones and tablets. It’s a webcast show on Youtube we call “What Does This Button Do?” At the end of each show we have review questions. Whether you’ve watched the show or not, we thought you might like to test your smartphone smarts by seeing if you can answer some review questions. These are not mulitple choice, and many have more than one right answer so this is not a test that can be graded like a college entrance exam, but if you want to see the discussion of our answers to these questions, you can click the link provided. The link will take you to the time in the specific episode where we start the discussion of review questions. Since we have produced more than 80 episodes so far, this “Test Your Smartphone Smarts” will be an ongoing series of posts here.
