Week 6: Investigating With Technologies

Personal Digital Assistants are mobile hand-held devices that help you with computing and can also be used for information storage. It can be used for personal or business like benefits. It's often used for keeping a schedule handy as well as an address book. In the classroom is can be used for keeping track of due dates, assignments and also grades.

We use online survey tools for calculating online data and collection processes as well as to ensure complete accuracy. In the classroom it can introduce students to a more educated and well professional type survey. For professors it can be a great professional way to make a survey. A couple of good rules for writing a good survey is being specific with your questions that you ask and make sure you ask a good number of questions not just one or two.

PDA's and surveys are becoming a big tool for students in the day in age. It’s easier to format a PDA file of a class schedule. A lot of assignments are done online, especially in college so having knowledge of how to use online tools makes it much easier to use.
