In all honesty, I am kinda confused on what the difference is between application software and productivity software is. They both speak a lot about word processing so this is where I get confused. Is application software just the basic application (like word pad) and productivity software the advanced, life easing programs (like Word?) Either way, I can't imagine my life without productivity software. These programs, like word and excel, really help make my life easier. I am able to create contact lists and a budget with excel and I am able to write my papers efficiently with word.
I have never actually put an email address or a hyper link in a word document before so this was definitely something new for me. I can see how it will be helpful in the future though. It will be helpful if I decide to post something on a class website. This way, students will be able to read my document and continue on to the hyperlink if needed or email me if they have a question.
I really am getting excited about possibly being a teacher one day. I really think that I would be great at it. Now if I could figure out what grade level I would like to teach. :)

Diana,
Don't sweat the terms to much, since you don't work in the software industry. I've heard lots of different pieces of software called "application" in general. People don't normally walk around and call stuff "productivity applications" vs something else; at least not in the education world.
