As we have learned in the past chapters web-based learning is expanding. We are using web-based learning for this course! There are many good and bad web-based learning software programs to choose from. There are many issues that we need to consider as teachers when selecting educational software. Most reliable software will have a preview and reviews of the product. As a teacher you will need to be sure the software is age appropriate and will meet the student’s needs. It is good to compare a couple different software programs before deciding a specific one.
A couple questions you may want to ask yourself are: Is the format easy to read? Is it easy to install? Asking yourself some of these questions and knowing as much as possible about the software is very important.

I think another important question would be "Is it interesting?” So much of what we see online could be made more interesting by adding color or pictures. Another note-worthy point is that incorporating multiple softwares might be the best bet. By doing so, students have choices and more learning styles can be incorporated.
