Download - Technology Tools Assessment
This assessment provides a snapshot of my personal evaluation of eight
different technology tools and their potential value in an educational
setting.
Evaluation Criteria
1. EASE OF USE – I was able to use tool immediately without having to spend too much time with a tutorial.
2. TRUE EDUCATIONAL VALUE – Student learning will definitely be enhanced with the use of this tool.
3. FUN TO USE – In my humble opinion, #’s 1 and 2 are of no use if 3 is not true!
