Answer Example
"I use Microsoft Suite and G-Mail and Google Apps to share documents with parents and make surveys. I track student performance in Google Sheets. I'm also great at using Adobe Photoshop and InDesign to make presentations, graphics for lessons, and promotional or informational flyers that I pass out to teachers. My former school used PowerTeacher for things like attendance and grades. And with some training and practice, I would catch on quickly to any program or software used here."
