Here in this post we are going to discuss about Slack, Trello, Blogger, Google Classroom, Klavaro, and Grammarly

Slack

 

Slack is a cloud based instant messaging platform. Although it is just 6 years old it has more than 10 million active users from more than 6 laks organisations located in more than 150 countries. Slack offers us persistent chat room named as channels which organised by topics. Direct messages also possible here. Files and codes can be shared with slack.

Anyone can join in a workspace(a team organised for a specific task) using a specific URL or with an invitation which sent by a team admin.

Slack also integrates with Google Drive, Tello, Dropbox, Git hub and many more.

There also apps available in mobile phones (android and ios). So now its possible to work at any time with slack. Notification feature of slack helps us to access our work easily.

For team work you can try slack. It is easy to start. Within minutes you can create a workspace and your team to get start your work.

Trello

 

Trello is a web based project management system. It helps us to make our work easier. It is designed in kanban styled. I think understanding Kanban style will help us to understand how trello works.

Kanban style is a method to fulfil our tasks in an organised way.

Lets imagine that we have three sort of work at home. First one is to make a small garden around the house. Second one is to send a job application to a company. And the other is to buy some stationaries for your sister. These are three types of work we have planed to do. So kanban style will help us to fulfil these with a great management. Making a small garden is a long process while sending job application is small. Although it can be posted when we go out for shopping.

Here we maintain a board which divided into three columns. Columns should be named as follows To do, Doing and Done. Then write our three tasks in a small cards and hang it on to do column. After starting the task we got to change the card to the second column. After the work or task completed the card should be shifted to the column named ‘Done’ .

So we can always watch our progress in each tasks. The same thing is digitally presented by tello. All the team members can check every tasks and make their way. The deadlines can be fixed to every tasks so that we can make it on time. We could share files with our team members. It is easy to start and to use.

Google Classroom

 

Google Classroom is tool that makes e-learning simple. It is a product of google. It gives us the facility to share studying materials, assignments and many things. It also integrates with Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Slides etc. So it creates paperless schools and classes.

Blogger

Blogger is another tool from Google which helps us to publish posts. Blogger can be compared to personal note book. So as we write notes in our notebook we can write something and post it. It can be seen from all over the world. Yes it will be published in the Internet. And also it is like a personal website which shares our knowledge. We can beautify our site by changing its themes. We can add beauty to our post by adding photos, videos, charts and many more.

Klavara

 

Klavara is a software available in ubuntu that helps us to learn typing. Many skills are wanted to be a developer. But more than everything we need to communicate with computers with keyboard Because it is the only way. For that We have to learn to use Keyboard. We could say ‘should be able to play with keyboard’. Here Klavara comes to help us. The instructions written step by step help us to understand the whole techniques of typing and make our fingers dance on keyboard.

Grammarly 

Grammarly is a digital writing tool using artificial intelligence. It allows us to check our grammar and spelling. It is an additional tool for us to learn English as well as new vocabularies and punctuations.

I hope in the future I may introduce you many more tools. And stay connected.
