Presentations: Day 3

As presentations are beginning to wind down, I get the feeling that there are a huge number of useless or nearly-useless interfaces available online. I suppose everything has its niche, but I honestly cannot imagine using many of these applications. The only one that particularly stood out to me today was thinglink, the video and […]

Fetchnotes

The interface I found most interesting from the presentations today was Fetchnotes. I thought it was very practical because there aren’t many great reminder tools out there for people to use.

I think that the tool Thing Link was very interesting because you can embed videos and links on pictures which makes them interactive. You can be very creative with this tool and take it any direction. I liked the example … Continue reading

Coggle

I was not in class this day, but I researched all of the tools that were presented and decided I may like to use the tool Coggle. I thought it was interesting because it was a super easy way to brainstorm. Being a COMM major, we are regularly asked to brainstorm ideas for certain campaigns […]
