Unit 3 Technology Implementation

I searched through a few of the suggested links. I have heard of canva before and that is the one I ultimately chose. I tried out Issuu and had problems with it. I did not find it to be overly user friendly, so I abandoned using it. Epublish4me seemed a bit too in depth for what I wanted to do.

I chose Canva because, for starters it actually worked for me. It was also pretty easily navigable. I figure, this project is simply for a class and I dont intend to use this type of technology in the near future, so my best bet is to do what is the easiest.

I do not always choose the easiest route. When we are assigned to access something that I can see myself using immediately I do take the time to learn the ins and outs of a few of them and then I choose the one I like the best. Issuu looked like one that I would have preferred if I had planned to do more with it than just the class project. This can be seen with my former use of Google Hangouts. I could have chosen the easier Zoom, but I liked Hangouts better.

After creating the assigned canvas, I shared it with my collegial group. I decided to input the administrators ISTE standards onto the canvas for the group to view. The response I received was as follows, "The color and design scheme chosen for this project is visually appealing. I have never used canva before and seems like an interesting program to use. I believe if I ever needed to present something I would like to try this program. Canva was user friendly and easy to navigate."

His statement backs my suggestion that the program was very user friendly.
