    When I become a teacher, I think I will use data collection tools or surveys quite frequently. I would use them for fun things such as collecting information like students' birthdays or favorite colors and also for getting feedback on certain activities done in the classroom. I would also provide anonymous surveys for students to fill out to let me know if they're struggling with things whether in the classroom or outside the classroom without feeling exposed.

After learning how to use the hyperlink function on for the Web Design assignment, I was able to also use it in my PowerPoint Interaction assignment. I genuinely enjoyed this assignment and had so much fun designing my own website!

It makes it easier for readers to find posts on the subjects they're looking for. This application can be very useful in the classroom for sharing students' work and even using peer's work for research. This could also be useful in a professional setting for employees and sending out announcements or tasks.      In today's day and age, teachers are tasked with being the driving force of tec
