Instructional Software and Hardware Tools
By: Sara Schroeder
Title – Selecting Software for Young Learners
Summary – This site helps teachers select software for their classroom. It assists the educator by listing ten things to consider, and a check list to follow when getting ready to choose software for the classroom.
Opinion – I really like this web page because it gives information in a simple, easy to understand style. I also appreciate the checklist that was provided.
Title – Free Software & Teaching Resource Search
Summary – This site provides a tool-bar for educators to quickly find and create classroom activities such as word searches.
Opinion – I like this site because it can be useful to create fun classroom activities for younger students. Unfortunately, it is less helpful to teachers at the secondary level because many of the activities are too simple for older students.
Title – Educational Software Evaluation for Teachers
Summary – This site is designed to help with grading software. This software automatically calculates the grades based of the specifications of the educator. It also provides the ability to install a password so parent can check their student’s grades, and students can view past assignments.
Opinion – I dislike this site because most of what is provided is given to the teacher when they begin their career in a school.
