Tech Evaluation

YouTube Quiz Feature

Links to the two tools you evaluated

http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/20/youtube-video-questions-editor/


Three things you like about each tool
  • I like the way these question are created by the user.channel that wants to ask its own subscribers a question or even poll on how to improve their channel.
  • It is fairly simple to the user to create a single or even multiple questions on his videos
  • The one who takes the quiz has the option to recommend ideas to the channel to improve instead on posting comments that may never be seen or acknowledged. 



Three things that you think are drawbacks of the tool (things you don't like or you think can be improved)

  • This could work on the beta harder so its release comes out quickly
  • The question Editor could use more options or even several answer istead of a simple "yes and no"




Desmos

Three things you like about the tool
  • Instead of spending money on graphing calculator or hardware for math, you can use this easy online tool that works the same way
  • You'l learn easier by discovering and exploring on your own, this website grants you this option so you can improvise your learning. 
  • It also helps with creativeness with artists that want to use graphing to draw or practice their art techniques on graphing lines. 

Three things that you think are drawbacks of the tool (things you don't like or you think can be improved)

  • This tool would be fully usable instead of a calculator is it had a very simple way to use on a mobile device
  • It would be of this website if it had more options or uses, more besides a calculator for people that look for math problems only a graphing calculator can solve.
  • The website design can be found unattractive  to some people, this website could improve on ways to make the layout more creative and artistic.  

Two ways you could use each tool

I could use YouTube Quiz Feature improve other channels I like .


Desmos can be used if you find yourself in a sticky situation with out a graphing calculator.
