Open content and open software programs are extremely useful tools for teachers. These programs help teachers create personal learning environments for students and are free to download. They contain items such as: presentation software, word processors, spreadsheets, and diagram building tools. I am not much of a tech savvy person; however, these programs make using the latest technologies in the field of education easy. Examples of these kinds of programs are Moodle and Apache OpenOffice. I strongly advise teachers to look into open content and open software programs to assist them in teaching their students at any grade level.
