Powerful Tools in Tech | Rowan Schaaf

With a world always on the go and technology growing exponentially, we need powerful tools that can keep up. These are some of the best resources to succeed in this digital age.

Evernote

Evernote is a powerful app that leaders in the tech industry have used. Evernote allows users to save the information and access it from any device. It also records audio, which allows for interviews and other voices to be recorded for later use.

Newsela

Newsela allows users to track and monitor articles and read them. This app is helpful for teachers who want to keep track of the work their students are doing or vice versa. Tracking and monitoring articles are helpful because authors often use multiple sources while creating an article.

Remind

Remind allows users to set reminders for themselves, which is helpful if they are forgetful. It can also be used as an alarm or send an SMS message, which significantly benefits during meetings. The app is simple and can also be used for group texts.

Lattice

Lattice is a powerful app that allows users to collaborate with others. With this app, teachers can create a private class discussion while still allowing students to respond. Students can also anonymously ask questions that then go directly to the teacher. It helps students who are nervous about asking questions in class or don’t want other students to see their questions.

Asana

Asana helps manage teams and assignments by keeping all of the information organized in one place. It even works with other applications, such as Dropbox, which makes it very convenient to use on any device or platform without missing anything important on another device. Asana can also be used as a messaging system, allowing easy collaboration.

Slack

Slack is an instant messaging system that can be used by groups of people who need to communicate quickly and easily. It is excellent for any group, from students to employees at large companies. It’s also great because there are multiple ways to use the app, so it can meet each individual’s needs and make the most sense for their purposes.

These powerful tools will be an asset to anyone who uses them, whether teachers, students, employees, or leaders. They are all-powerful in their way.
