Tech Tool Evaluation

Stixy:

This is the first website

Three things I like about this Site:

• I like how you can share all your work with other people and they can collaborate.
• I like how you can customize almost everything in this website such as themes and colors.
• I like how you can just drag the note, document or image into the screen and you click on it and its ready to go.

Three Things that Could be Improved:

• I think stixy should have the stixy page that says everything about how to use it as the homescreen so you become more interested and informed.
• I think the first page you see should be a litte bit more organized and asthetcally pleasing.
• Organization in general is lacking so thats one thing they can improve.

Two Ways to Use This:

• Organize my schedule
• Do a project that involves someone else.

Mentimeter:

This is the second website

Three things I like about this Site:

• I like how it replaces the papers on a hat to vote. It looks more professional.
• I like how the ideas is so original and I never thought an app like this existed.
• I like how you can use your own mobile phone to vote and it is easy to do.

Three things that Could be Improved:

• There should be more themes and more colors.
• I think there should also be an app for this not only the website.
• Also I think the title of the tool is not so great I would think it was a centimeter converter or something like that.

Two Ways to Use This:

• By asking people in an audience to use this instead of raising hands.
• To choose the name of your new pet.
