In our Computers class, we used the Ribbon Hero tutorial for helping us learn things about the Microsoft Inc. products. For me, I didn't really remember a lot using the Ribbon Hero tutorial. In fact, I wouldn't actually know as much as I would if I had taken notes on the Microsoft tutorials. Without the other tutorial, I would not have been able to even complete the Ribbon Hero tasks, although it does challenge your critical thinking skills, which is something that is really important. The Ribbon Hero was interactive, kid-friendly, and fun. The Microsoft videos were a little boring, but helped me remember how to do things. My decision is in the middle.
I like both tutorials, but if they were a little bit like My Digital Life, the interactive, and video tutorials, I would like Ribbon Hero better. But, since it isn't, I would have to say that the most effective one in my learning has to be the Microsoft tutorial. The Ribbon Hero can be done after we've learned everything from the video notes tutorial. Ribbon Hero expanded my knowledge a little bit more about the things, so if you combined both Ribbon Hero and the Microsoft Word tutorials, then that would be really nice, because the Microsoft ones gave me the basics of the Word programs, and Ribbon Hero expanded my knowledge a little more, so I would have to say that both were very effective in my learning process.
