Powerpoint. I would say this is a tool all individuals have utilised more than once in their life. I can admit that one of the main reasons I still come back to designing presentations with this tool is that it is my safety net (Tanti, 2017). I think others may share the same perspective, as there is nothing worse than realising the Internet connection decided it wanted to go on vacation last minute. Frequently, I find it uncomfortable to venture out of my own comfort zone when it comes to exploring new tools. The task becomes more time consuming as I spend most of the duration during to fiddle with new concepts, but due to this also I fail to understand that there are more captivating and marvellous tools out there to utilise. I believe that technology has evolved and as we're living in the 21st century, we should manipulate these creations to the best our advantages (Pro Oncall Technologies, 2017). These tools were established to enhance the endless possibilities for creativity. Educating myself on recent technology developments not only allows my knowledge and skills to expand but also produces a sense of confidence. As the years goes by, technology will always continue to evolve hence it's vital as an educator to grasp onto these changes. It will create an uplifting and more intriguing educating environment as students will be able to relate to the tools being utilised. Reference:
