Chapter 4

Jump to Comments

Chapter 4 in the book is about productivity applications.  Productivity tools can be used on both Macs and PCs, and many are free!

I have used Google Docs for surveys and sharing documents, which I have found to be very helpful.  Here are some other productivity tools that I have not used:

  • EditGrid
  • eFax
  • Gliffy
  • Instapaper
  • iRows
  • Mayomi
  • Scanr
  • SlideShare
  • Sproutliner
  • ThinkFree Show
  • 30 Boxes
  • YourDraft

All of these tools help complete tasks and stay organized.  Teachers can use these in the classroom to encourage collaboration amongst students when they are working on projects or assignments.  Some teachers even use it for students to view other student’s work and comment on that work.

Businesses can use the productivity tools the same way as classrooms.  Co-workers can use the tools to collaborate on an important project for work.  The co-workers don’t even have to work in the same building; they can live anywhere around the globe but still be able to use the tools to collaborate!

    Laura,

    Interesting and helpful list of productivity tools I will have to check out! I myself have only ever used Google Docs and have really enjoyed the ease and versatility of being able to access my work from anywhere that has an internet access.

    I liked your point that students are encouraged (and almost forced) to collaborate via technology when using Productivity Applications. This strongly encourages the implementation of the nine elements of Digital Citizenship elements as well.

    The list of tools is exceptionally thorough. I didn’t know of at least 4 of these. Great work, Laura!
