Technology and Education – A Great Toolset

If you’re trying to get a job done, naturally you want the right tool for the job. In the world of computing and tech, we often see that people use tools they’re comfortable with rather than the most appropriate program. It’s natural, but would you use a hammer to put a screw in just because you’re used to nails?

One of the most fielded questions we get is, “What program do you use to {insert random task here}”. Frankly most of us will tell you what’s the best program period, not the one to suit your needs, but Jose Picardo is a high school teacher who respects a lot of these bounds, and shares his experience online at his blog, Box of Tricks.

We see tons of these lists fly around, but its nice to find one grounded enough to speak to professionals who don’t always have the time to sit around and evaluate each program for a specific task. Check out his running list of programs here.
