I took the time to discover all of the online resources
provided by Dr. Cozart and they were all pretty amazing. So many ideas were coming to mind while
exploring the different tools. The two tools that I chose to further experience and create a product for
were from Google Forms and Quizlet.
For Google Forms I decided to produce an ordering form for tires. At the time of exploring this tool I was located at Discount Tires shop and decided to use this tool to produce a ordering form for the owner of Ready Redd's Wheels and Tires. I wanted to go outside the box with the creation and the different ways in which the form could be used. I began with the title of the form and its description. Next, I proceeded in asking the owner what kind of questions would be asked if someone wanted to order tires. I proceeded in adding the questions to the form. Most of the questions required an answer with text. Only one question required customers to answer to a multiple choice question, I edited the selections accordingly. Anytime I wanted to add a question to the form I selected "add item" and it advanced to the next question that needed to be edited. When I was finished editing the questions I proceeded to changing the theme. This portion is when it became a little tricky yet very interesting, the themes that were stored was not what I was looking for so I chose to customize the theme. I Google an image for wheels and tires and save it to my computer drive in which I uploaded as a header image and as a image background. I centered the title and the description and I edited the fonts to Comic Sans MS and changed the color to red. I viewed the live form before sending the form to my email. It was different but fun. I love the fact that it was created and saved in my Google drive, which made it very convenient. The link for the order form is below:

I also chose Quizlet because I believe it not only to be a
great tool for my studies but also for the progress of students. Quizlet is an online study tool that you
create flashcards with and study anything anywhere you are. Not only does this tool assist with
memorizing by the flashcard method but it also has several other studying
methods. The flashcard method allows you
to study in a particular order or gives you the option to shuffle your cards
randomly. The other method is Learn mode
where you type in the correct question/answer or term/definition and if at any
time your incorrect it keeps recycling until you get it correct. Then, there is the Speller mode where you type what
you hear and if you spell the answer incorrectly the automated voice will tell you,
let you know the correct spelling, and prompt you to spell it correct. Scatter
is another method of learning in which you must match the correct answer with the question. There is also a game
incorporated in Quizlet that assist with learning called Space Race where you
have to type in the correct answer before the problem leaves the screen. After, going through all the learning methods you may also test what you've
learned on Quizlet. You can be tested by
true/false, written, or multiple choice questions. Quizlet is really easy to navigate
through. To began studying you must
create your own free Quizlet account, and from there you "create a new set" of flashcards. You began by creating a title and adding a description, that way if you want to come
back to study you know where to find it.
Then you create your answer and questions cards, which you are able to also
change the language of as well. In Quizlet for your questions/answers it also
allows you to use images which is pretty amazing. For my example I decided to just create some
mental math problems to assist with not only memorization of math facts but
also speed. The link for the study set of the math facts is listed below:
