My two favorite tools that I learned how to use this semester were all the different Google tools (Google documents, blogger, sites, forms, spreadsheet, etc.) and (this really counts as more than one thing) all the different ways to access and share information and resources - like how to use Twitter productively and the Web 2.0 tools.
I liked the Google tools because they allow everyone access to a word processor, a spreadsheet, and a way to create online forms without having to purchase an expensive software package (like Microsoft Office). I love being able to easily make online forms; this could potentially eliminate all kinds of paper use. There are so many possibilities for these Google tools, and they're all free!
I enjoyed learning about all the ways to access and share information because it opened my eyes to many, what I previously thought to be unconventional, avenues for information transfer (like Twitter). I used to get frustrated trying to find information for projects or papers because I would always go to the same couple of resources, and eventually those ran dry. Now I feel like I have unlimited resources and resources where I can find more resources.
