EXIT SLIP
The idea of using many filters to evaluate a tech tool is a good thing to know.
 I need to remember...
***Using these 3 views is important because it allows us to evaluate the effectiveness of a specific tech tool.
      If it is something that we could do before technology and technology is not able to imporve how we do it,
         then dont waste the time and money to try to use it. And remember to use SWOT analysis on tools.
