Meaningful Use of Applications
A software application, or app, is a tool that helps people perform specific tasks on their computers or smartphones. These tasks can range from writing a document to applying for a job. Examples of software applications include programs like Microsoft Word for writing, Google Chrome for browsing the internet and Zoom for video calls and meetings.
Using the right applications can open doors to better health, education and job opportunities. For example, applications like Teladoc let you connect with healthcare providers without needing to visit the doctor. Other programs help students of all ages to learn new skills. And websites like LinkedIn and Indeed can help job seekers to search for jobs, build a resume and prepare for interviews.
For those looking to improve their digital skills the following resources are available:
- YouTube: Offers free video tutorials on a wide range of software and other topics.
- Khan Academy: Provides free courses on coding, math and other subjects.
- Coursera and edX: These websites offer both free and paid digital literacy and technology skills courses.
- LinkedIn Learning: Helps individuals learn business, creative and tech skills through short, easy-to-follow videos.
