Tech Tool Evaluation

LAURA BECERRA'S TOOL: Easy-Bib

Link: http://www.easybib.com/

Things I liked: 

• The purpose of this website is really efficient because this is that you can have your own bibliography platform so you can have all the website that you use for school projects available on this website (instead of looking for them all the time in your browser). 

• Internet websites are not the only thing that can be searched and saves in this tool. You can also look for videos, journals, newspapers, databases and even books! This way you can have a variety of bibliographic references saved on your account. 

• You can classify your bibliographic references however you want. By subject, date, alphabetical order, author, etc. This way you are more comfortable when you are looking for a reference that you need. 

Things I didn't like: 

• Something that this website can use is to have work citations directly from the website to the work. Meaning that instead of having to copy paste it from here to the work. Have some sort of hyperlink that can say the details about the website. 

• Another thing that can be improved on this website is the access to professionals. You should be able to contact a professional for a project on school for example. 

• Then layout (visual design) of the website should be more creative so you can be more comfortable using the website. It looks a lot like "About Answers". 


How can we use the tool: 

• You can use this tool to have a better access to your bibliographical references when doing a project for school. 

• You can use this website to organize your favorite informational websites the way that you want. 


MAURICIO MIRELES' TOOL: Slotted

Link: http://slotted.co/


Things I liked: 

• One thing that I liked a lot about this tech tool is that it is an easy way for people to plan social events without the need of making physical (paper) invitations. 

• Another thing that I like about this website is that you can also publish news on this website for your friends to see and comment. This is a good way to spread a written work you have done for school for example. 

• The most efficient trait about this website is that you can display the number of slots that people can take in your party. You can have 200 hundred slots and the people that want to go to your party fill them out so you can have the list of people that are coming directly. 


Things I didn't like: 

• The layout of the website is beyond boring. I believe that this website (originally it is used for positive purposes) and the design of this makes you want to cry so I believe that that should be changed. 

• There should be waiting list when all the slots of the party are taken for example to give an opportunity for the people that missed the slots to let the organizer know they want to go to the party. 

• There should be more options for the traits of each event stated in the website. 


How can we use the tool: 

• We can use this tool to create a birthday party so everyone can be incited (you can connect it to Facebook). 

• You can use this to visualize the number of people that are going relating to the number of slots you have so you can make last minute changes on your event itself so it can go smoothly.
