In this module our goal is to set up your technology toolkit – aka Tech-Kit – so that you can be ready for professional success. The tools within the Tech-Kit were selected as they will help you be successful academically and in the future professionally. Keep in mind that the tools we introduce to you in this module you may not use right away, but they will be helpful in the future. As citizens of the modern century technology, we will find that technology plays a major role in all dimensions of our lives and it will be important to become informed users. Tech on!
