? Moodle is a class management site that
allows teachers and students to manage
assignments, monitor attendance and
grades. It provides communication
avenues through blogs chat and forums.

classes and I find it easy to navigate and
very useful in monitoring my class work.
3. Mozilla FireFox
? I have found Firefox to be very useful and
user friendly. It is also more secure than
my old browser, IE6 (Internet Explorer 6).
There are also many extensions available
to enrich your browsing.
4. ?Google apps offer many useful
applications that make my school work
and group work easier.
?However, I do find it frustrating at times
because some features do not load on my
laptop.
?Some things I find irritating are the size of
your spreadsheets (in particular) are
limited to 1MB and google docs
sometimes changes the format of
documents loaded to google docs.
