CEDO 540 Week Two

This week's assignment were pretty interesting. The research that I did was fun and allowed me to access a couple new websites that I can add to my arsenal. The capterra website was really cool to look at because it provided me a new option to find software. I liked that the website involved tons of different software from a variety of different fields. I found a the website to be simple to navigate and I found a few new software programs that I am gonna try implementing in my classrooms.

Taking the time to research statistic terms was interesting and allowed me to build my knowledge on a subject that I don't have the most knowledge in. When looking at Census, I found that there was more information then I expected. I was shocked to see that the 2000 census totaled 6.5 billion, with a B, dollars. The marketing research I had a little inclination about, but after looking at it, I found that it was much more in-depth than I had expected. I did realize that there is business to business marketing research. The topic, after reviewing it, makes a lot of sense and is something that I am sure companies do all the time.

  1. Capterra was a blast - so many resources out there that I just hadn't suspected. I liked that Capterra acts like a clearinghouse for all of those software topics - excellent resource.

  2. Isn't Capterra amazing. The sheer number of software categories and items referenced boggles the mind. It's so much more than just a place to identify statistical or survey software.
