Hello, and welcome to Week 6: The right tool for the job. This week we’ll be focussing on online tools that can help make your life easier.

KATHARINE

What, you mean like apps?

WENDY

Yes, we’ll be exploring what they are and how they can help you in your life online.

KATHARINE

There's an app for pretty much everything these days, isn’t there? Wen, did you have any personal favourites?

WENDY

My favourites are to do with helping me get more organised. My to-do lists.

KATHARINE

Right, and I really like being able to pick up social media or the news from wherever I am.

WENDY

And we found that when we were working on this course, online tools and apps really helped us collaborate, didn’t they?

KATHARINE

Yes, that was very useful. But how do you know which one is right for you?

WENDY
