Week 9 Tools
The tools introduced this week were Slack and Trello. I haven’t personally used Trello, but I am slightly familiar with it. A colleague introduced me to Trello, gave a tutorial of how to use it, and then showed us how they use it themselves. Upon introduction, I thought it was a cool tool to have access to; but I haven’t found a way or felt like I’ve needed to use it – yet. On the contrary, Slack is completely new to me. I hadn’t heard of it prior to this week. I didn’t create an account, but I did check out the website and resource pages about how to use it and the different features that it offers. I can actually think of a few scenarios where this tool would be helpful at my job. I may be signing up for it sooner than later... we'll see.
