Productivity Tools
I think productivity tools can be very helpful in the classroom. They are used to do more and to do those things in less time. An example of a productivity tool is word processing. This tool is useful because it gives students access to spelling and grammar assistance, making changes directly in the text, and allows collaboration. It also gives teachers the availability to make their own comments directly on the word document. Productivity tools can also be used for organizational and management reasons. They can be used for scheduling, templates, and grade books -- all things that are very present in classroom today. Productivity tools are not always necessary, but can quicken a process. Take a calculator for instance. If the point of the math problem is not the math, but the answer--a calculator is a productive tool to have in comparison to a pen and paper. Productivity tools will increasingly become more important and present in the future of education.
