This
is
an
written
supplement
of
the
brief
Excel
Document
which
we’ve
decided
was
a
good
add
on
because
of
the
necessity
of
having
reliable
tech-‐
tools
to
go
with
the
usage
of
the
applications
and
site(s)
we
discuss
in
the
following
information
which
was
how
we
started
this
assignment
and
decided
that
it
was
too
good
to
leave
out.

Cost
Analysis
on
e-‐readers-‐
the
Kindle
Fire
on
Amazon
is
an
16gb
reader
with
stereo
sound
system
and
is
billed
as
“the
worlds
most
advanced
7”
tablet”
and
is
listed
at
a
cost
of
$
199.00,
(see
below
an
example
of
the
features
of
the
Kindle
Fire)

in
a
comparison
to
the
Apple
iPad
3
one
dynamic
which
isn’t
taken
into
account
is
aspect
of
time,
the
Kindle
Fire
(which
we
chose
for
our
test
research
purposes)
has
download
speeds
of
31
mbps
opposed
to
the
iPad
3
it’s
closest
competition
at
only
22
mbps
(which
means
that
the
Kindle
Fire
is
41%
faster
than
the
iPad
3)
although
there
is
no
way
to
factor
a
value
for
time,
it’s
worthy
to
note
that
it’s
a
selling
point
in
favor
of
the
Kindle.
For
purely
academic
usage
a
college
student
might
opt
for
the
Kindle
paper-‐white
model
at
only
$119.00
(What
we
look
at
in
our
samples
which
we
look
at
which
for
our
purpose
of
our
cost
analysis
isn’t
going
to
be
exhaustive,
we’re
examining
one
or
two
of
each
of
our
two
categories
of
technology
for
our
JIT
Cost
Analysis,
because
if
we
determine
to
our
satisfaction
that
it’s
futile
to
examine
anything
else.
(For
the
sake
of
discussion
we’re
going
to
look
at
the
author’s
personal
e-‐reader
a
Nook
from
Barnes
&
Noble
and
compare
it
for
ease
of
use,
for
download
speed
and
compare
it
opposite
the
Kindle
paper-‐
white
model
which
retails
on
Amazon
for
$119.00)
it’s
features
are
below
1. No Ads. Power adapter included.
2. Only Reader designed for perfect bedtime reading
3. Breakthrough technology creates a soft glow optimized for low light reading
4. Warm light illuminates entire screen evenly
5. GlowLight turns on instantly and adjusts easily with a touch
6. Revolutionary built-in anti-glare screen protector delivers just-like-paper
experience - great in bright sun
7. Exclusive Best-Text™ & adjustable fonts make words crisp & clear
8. Lightest NOOK ever - perfect for long reading sessions and carrying
everywhere
Unbeatable value: "2 Readers in 1" - Best of E Ink & Lit Display - Amazing

compared
to
the
Kindle
paper-‐white
the
most
telling
advantage
was
that
the
5.
6.
Kindle
paper-‐white
has
the
value
added
option
of
Cloud
storage
where
all
Kindle
content
has
free
Cloud
storage.
The
price
for
each
was
identical
atAma
$
119.00
(which
is
telling
in
this
economy
where
we
see
the
price
is
making
the
difference
between
the
two
“half-‐a-‐dozen
of
one
six
of
the
other)
Laptops-‐
we
will
inspect
our
choice
which
is
the
Apple
MacBook
a
simple
and
utilitarian
platform
which
has
been
our
platform
of
choice
for
the
past
3+
years.
Our
personal
laptop
is
a
MacBook
Air
with
a
4
GB
Memory
Storage,
and
64
GB
Flash
Storage,
a
1.7
GHZ
Intel
dual-‐core
i5
processor,
and
finally
Intel
4000
G
Graphics
(
the
price
of
entry
for
a
MacBook
isn’t
cheap
the
MacBook
Air
is
the
Base
model
at
$999.00)
for
the
sake
of
discussion
again
we’re
comparing
it
to
our
first
Laptop
an
Acer
Aspire
which
came
with
only
1GB
of
Memory,
had
only
a
Pentium
processor
of
the
most
basic
type
and
after
only
2
years
the
video
card
went
“haywire”
and
we
wound
up
sending
it
to
Laptop
Valhalla,
it
had
served
us
well
but
our
MacBook
has
been
serving
our
purposes
for
years.
We
admit
that
we’re
snobs
when
it
comes
to
computers.
Once
a
person
has
used
a
Mac
or
an
iMac
they’ll
never
go
back
to
a
P.C.
(in
our
opinion/experience)
this
entire
cost
analysis
isn’t
intended
to
be
a
scientific
study
as
much
as
it’s
intended
to
show
what
options
are
available
for
those
that
aren’t
trying
to
do
their
JIT
studies
“on
the
cheap.”

We’re
going
to
examine
a
brief
sampling
of
some
online
sources
which
have
offerings
which
are
unique
in
their
focus
to
specific
JIT
solutions.
Mindmeister,
TechSmith,
and
SurveyMonkey.
Mindmeister-‐
is
an
online
Mindmap
software
site
which
specializes
in
visual
e-‐learning
solutions
utilizing
Mind-‐mapping
software.
It
is
good
to
facilitate
projects
in
brainstorming
ideas
and
has
plenty
of
options
for
collaborative
work
which
in
turn
allows
for
the
establishment
of
communities
of
learning,
i.e.
informal
learning.
http://www.mindmeister.com/features
TechSmith
has
several
technology
tools
which
allow
people
to
create
many
kinds
of
visual
creations
not
just
for
academic
usages.
Among
it’s
more
widely
known
applications
are
Jing-‐allowing
screen
capture
images,
and
as
one
respondent
mentioned
she
liked
“short
how-‐to
tutorials”
which
Jing
allows
the
user
to
accomplish
quite
handily,
Camtasia-‐which
we
learned
much
about
when
we
weren’t
able
for
whatever
reason
to
make
Jing
work
as
an
video
creation
platform.
It
allows
for
the
creating
of
longer
video
presentations
which
we
utilized
to
make
a
couple
of
video
presentations
which
were
tutorials
for
the
use
of
Powerpoint.
https://store.techsmith.com/
SurveyMonkey-‐which
we
became
familiar
with
in
the
second
week
of
our
course
(EDU
656)
we
used
it
to
create
a
Needs
Survey
which
one
respondent
mentioned
10. she
liked
surveys
as
one
of
her
JIT
solutions.
It
allows
you
to
create
surveys,
from
a
vast
store
of
questions,
or
allows
for
making
up
your
own.
It
also
lets
you
collate
data
from
the
surveys
and
to
see
the
results
in
terms
of
graphs
or
in
percentages.
