This article has several categories for selecting software. These include Drill and practice, Tutorial, Simulation, instructional games, problem solving, and Integrated Learning Systems. There are links of examples of all of them. Next, it gives a checklist of Criteria for selecting software in each of these categories. The software selected should have no grammar errors, is up to date, and no stereotypes. It should be easy to use, and have no technical errors.
This article seemed really involved, and it would be hard to remember all the Criteria for selecting software. The important thing is to read reviewsfrom teachers, and if possible, test the software out for yourself. It should be fun, and capture your student’s attention.

It seems like you found a great website with lots of information but you did a great job summarizing it.
