Moodle
Moodle is a virtual online environment that enables
teachers to manage and promote learning. It’s a great tool that allows students
to take courses online, or simply just to organize and deliver assignments.
Moodle has many features, such as blogs, forums, and even web conferencing.
This site allows students to view their grades, assignments, and upload any
attachments for their course. I would give this tool 5 out of 5 because it has
many options for students and it allows teachers to be able to communicate in another
way other than in the classroom.
Firefox
Firefox is one of the more popular internet web
browsers in today’s world. Firefox is available for Mac, Windows, Linux, and
many other devices. Although I do not use Firefox regularly, it is a good tool
to use when browsing the internet and it allows you to be flexible when it
comes to customization. I would give this tool 4 out of 5 because it has a
bunch of features that are entertaining and secure whenever you’re online.
Google Apps
Google Apps is a great tool to use online and it
provides multiple web applications that a lot of sites do not offer. It provides
users with things like Gmail, Blogger, Calendar’s, and you can even share word documents
online. I use a lot of the Google Apps since I have taken this course and it
has been a great experience. I use Google Apps pretty much every day now and it
has only made things easier for me. I think it’s a great online technology tool
and I would definitely give it 5 out of 5 stars!
LiveBinders
With LiveBinders, it allows users to gather their
information and organize it into these online binders. Instead of putting papers
into a real binder, this site allows you to store your information online where
it’s safe and secure. These binders allow you to store anything, from business
documents, educational resources, to personal information. As a future
educator, I think it’s a great tool to use and it’s only going to help you in
the long run. I would give this tool a 5 out of 5 stars.
Iconosites
Iconosites is a free website builder that has many
features in terms of customization. It is a very easy site to create and it
does not require any credit card information or downloads of any kind. I
thought this tool was one of the easiest to use and it has so many creative
aspects that come with the website. You can add videos, different texts and
fonts, and it provides a variety of transitions for your images. This is one of
my favorite tools and I would give it a 5 out of 5!
Glogster
Glogster is pretty new to me and I wasn’t sure how
it worked, but after playing around with it, it really is an awesome tool. It
allows users to make creative posters or glogs that can relate to students. Glogster
has a number of options when creating a poster or glog. You can add different
color schemes, fonts, photos, and even sounds. I think this is a great tool to integrate
into a lesson plan and when I become a teacher, I hope to utilize this tool
with my students. I would give this tool a 5 out of 5 stars!
Wiggio
Wiggio is an awesome tool when it comes to working
in groups. It allows students to be able to communicate in many different ways,
such as video conferencing, email; it even allows you to send mass text
messages to members of your group. You can share documents, update calendars so
everyone is informed, and it helps you and your group members to keep your
information safe and organized. With Wiggio, you can be a part of more than one
group, which I thought was very convenient, since college students are always
busy with group projects and meetings. This tool is very useful especially in
your college career, so I would give this tool 5 out of 5 stars.
Dropbox
Dropbox is another one of my favorite tools to use.
It acts as an online hard drive, which makes a lot of things easier and it can
be accessed anywhere. You don’t have to store files on your flash drive or save
papers in a folder because with Dropbox, you’re able to do all of that and
more. Dropbox automatically saves to your computer, which makes it easier for
you to access the things you need. Not only does Dropbox store documents, but
you’re able to save and store pictures and videos. I really enjoy using this
tool because it helps me store all my files and makes it easy for me to access.
I would give this tool a 5 out of 5 stars!http://edtechstudentl20b.blogspot.com/2012/11/technologyassessment-moodle-moodle-is.html
