“My OTG Learning”


“My OTG Learning”
Hello everybody, I'm Janpha Thadphoothon, an English teacher at DPU, a private university located on the outskirts of Bangkok, Thailand.

I enjoy reading books, traditional and digital. Oftentimes, I learn on the go - I learn something while doing something else. When I go jogging, I listen to news. I read books while waiting to board a plane at the airport.

2. Digital OTG Learning

Photo No. 3




I took this picture last month. I was walking in a park and listening to a lecture in English . The lecture was delivered via Youtube. I listened to it via my smartphone.  I did two things at the same time. I gained two things - good health and knowledge. I call this digital learning on the go.

A hidden treasure, it seems
But only for those who can
