Technology Tools Assessment

 
Moodle is a secured open source learning platform. I have used Moodle for a few years now and what I like about this software is that I am able to look back at my assignments and it is easy for me to communicate with my classmates and professors. I would give Moodle a 4 out of 5


Google Chrome is a free internet browser. I would give Chrome a 5 out of 5. Google Chrome has always been my primary search engine when it comes to research assignments. One feature I found out about Google Chrome is that parents are able to monitor and control their children’s searches.




Google Apps is a collaboration of applications that Google host on their own servers. I think what I find useful most useful of Google Apps is Google Docs. I like how I can share my documents with my classmates and we are able to make changes at the same time. With Blogger, I am able to share my work with people and it is easy to access. I would give this Google App a 5 out of 5.



LiveBinders is an electronic binder that organizes all your digital media and can be shared with the public. I would give LiveBinders a 4 out of 5. LiveBinders is easily to use and what I enjoy about LiveBinders is that, you can learn more about a person based on their saved references.



Sitebuilder.com is a website builder without the use of manual codes. I would suggest this software to people who are not tech savvy. Sitebuilder.com is a simple website builder that offers a variety of templates and it is easy to edit contents. I would give Sitebuilder.com a 4 out of 5.


Firefox is searching browser made from Mozilla. It is said that Firefox is faster and a safe web browser. I would give Firefox a 4 out of 5. The good thing about Firefox is that it automatically updates so it is always current with the latest security fixes. 
TSheets is an employee time tracking software. We just started using TSheets in my workplace and what I love about this software is that it lets you know how many hours a week you’ve made and your pay period total. The downfall about this software is that sometimes when clocking back in from break, it gives you an additional five minutes. I would give this software a 3 out of 5. 


 Vyond is an animated based creation software. What I like about using Vyond is that even with the free trial, there were many templates I was able to utilize, and it was quick and easy to use. I would recommend Vyond to people who have never created animated presentations. I would give this software a 4 out of 5 rating.

  1. Hi Monica:
    I encourage you to try lots of technology tools that are new to you, and to do it quite often. Be brave; stretch yourself; step outside of the box. Familiarity with new tools comes with practice. You owe it to yourself to try something new.
