Personal Productivity Tools

TinyURL: A tool used to make long, ugly URLs shorter. When posting a URL to an email, blog, etc..., you can use this tool to shorten the URL and easily format it to be an active link.

DropBox: The DropBox feature stores and shares files between computers. The DropBox makes it easier to sync your work, home, and notebook computers. DropBox behaves like a remote online hard drive and removes the hassles of networking local computers and carrying flash drives.

Teamviewer: This tool is used to remotely access any computer from anywhere. Teamviewer can be used to diagnose an error, configure software, or transfer files from a remote computer. You can also use Teamviewer to provide training or demonstrate a process from a remote computer.

All of these tools can be used to increase a teacher or student's productivity and enhance their learning. The thing I like about these tools the most is that they are all incredible time savers. They make it so you do not have to waste precious time trying to get things done that can be done much quicker with the use of these applications. I also like the fact that you do not have to worry about staying with one computer, all the time. You can use all these tools to help make it so all of your files can be accessed from any computer, at any time. These tools are also easy to gain access to and become familiar with, and once you use these tools, you will wonder how you ever survived without them.
