Software Evaluation Tools

When choosing software for your classroom it is very important, but how do you know whats best? If you go to a computer store you can preview the software or even get reviews about the software. When reading reviews make sure you are reading it from a professions view because other websites may not say good things about the software material. When considering a software it should be age appropriate, work for each child's needs, and meet instructional design standards. You should also consider the format. It should be easy to use and install. It also should be user friendly. You should be able to navigate through the software smoothly.I think that's important because we should know what we are doing before we can present it to others. If we don't know how to use it the software is useless.
