<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Definition ==<br /> <br /> * (In this context) we define a professional tool as a software tool that is used in a work context to produce some kind of contents and that has been mainly developped for this purpose.<br /> <br /> * In education, and in particular in the school system, &#039;&#039;&#039;professional tools&#039;&#039;&#039; seem to be the most popular category of [[educational technologies]].<br /> <br /> * Given the huge almost 50-year effort spent for various [[educational technologies]] this may come as a surprise. There may be several interrelated explanations:<br /> ** Such tools are used in the real world and therefore did demonstrate their usefulness for given tasks that exist in both worlds.<br /> ** Such tools are used in the &quot;real world&quot;, therefore augment authenticity and learner motivation. <br /> ** Such tools are well suited to support [[project-oriented learning]] scenarios, i.e. they support [[activity]]-based teaching<br /> ** Teachers know how to use them (e.g. they use them to prepare courses or demonstrations (e.g. presentation tools) or they did learn them during their studies (e.g. statistics programs).<br /> <br /> == Different types ==<br /> <br /> * Office tools (word processors, speadsheets, presentation tools)<br /> <br /> * Some [[writing tool]]s<br /> <br /> * Some [[cognitive tool]]s like [[concept map]]s and note-taking tools like the [[Scribe note-taking application]]<br /> <br /> * Internet publication tools like web-pages, [[CMS]]s and associated search technology<br /> <br /> * [[Reference manager]]s, [[links manager]]s, etc., in particular those who allow to share informations with others.<br /> <br /> * Internet communication tools like [[E-mail]], [[Forum]]s, etc. (see [[CMC]]).<br /> <br /> * Computer-assisted design tools<br /> <br /> * [[Simulation]] and modeling tools<br /> <br /> * [[Visualization]] tools<br /> <br /> * Data processing tools, like statistics programs<br /> <br /> * .....<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Cognitive tools]]{{edutechwiki}}</div>
