School Tools
Beyond Mac/Beyond Chromebook
- Let's now look at tools you can use to get more organised.
- This unit is an investigation, we've intentionally given you the icons for some apps but not the names.
- Choose two of the icons below and use Reverse Image Search to discover the names of the app.
- You can drag and drop the images below into Bing using the Image Search option, or use other search methods, to identify and learn more about them:

- Some might be installed on your computer, others are on the web. Some are both!
- Try to locate and use each of these programmes, logging in using your School Google account, and consider how you might use them to support your learning.
- If you need to set up an account for any of these four apps, please do so with your @ichk.edu.hk account.
- For other units, and generally at school, before setting up a new account on a new service in school, check with your teacher to see if it is OK, and always use your @ichk.edu.hk email address.

Your Tools
Apps that you use
- Have a think about the apps and tools you've used before, on your computer or other devices
- What are two apps that you like to use to help you learn or stay organised?
- In your evidence for this unit, tell us about these apps, how they work, and why you like them.
70 mins
Wrapping Up
Giving Evidence
- Look back through the things you have learned in this unit. What kind of evidence can you give to show where you have been and what you have done?
- Create a document or a video, or something of your own choosing, to showcase your learning:
- A short article giving your thoughts on the 2 tools for learning that you tried, plus your 2 apps or tools that you already use, including:
-
- Title
- Your name as author
- An introduction outlining what this article is about.
- A section on each app, including a screenshot and maybe a link to the app's website
- A conclusion on which app is your favourite.
- OR, a short video clip sharing what you have learned about each of the apps.
