tools reflection

I learned to use new tools like slack, zoom, hypothesis, google forms and google slides as well. I have learned from zoom how it’s so easy to connect with people around us and how an easy tool like that can help so many students around the world attend classes in the time of crisis like nowadays. When using zoom I learned how to share my screen when I had to do a presentation which was the first time I do it and it was very easy and very suitable for the purpose of a presentation. I also learned from zoom as well as many other things in this course how privacy online is very important when we had to set a password so that only the people who have it can join or when there had to be permission given by the Dr in order to access the room. However, I think the problem with zoom is that it only stays for 45 mins like what happened when we had our first zoom meeting when there was rain, but I guess the uni made accounts for the doctors for that reason. I learned how to use the hypothesis tool and it was my first time using it in this course, it’s a suitable tool for drs to use in order for students to interact with writings of different people and see the opinions of other students about these writings. Slack was also new to me, I liked that it was engaging, and we could ask questions and share memes I think I would like to use this tool in the future. I think it was better than blackboard especially when we switched to the online model of uni because it could be accessed on the phone easier than blackboard the application is better and sends notifications and even more colorful and more pleasant to look at. Finally using google slides vs google forms. I liked google forms more it was easier and clearer and quicker while doing the game. When I started with slides I was confused with the order and about to give up and just write a story, but when I used forms, I got the hang of it and did the game. I actually acquired a bit of patience using google forms because I had to test it every time, I added a new scenario to make sure of the flow of the game. I learned that I’m not very patient and sometimes I like to take the easy way out and that’s why I’m glad I stuck with the game.
