Artifact # 5
Software Evaluation
Context: The Software Evaluation was created at Appalachian State University in Pam Schram’s math class during the fall of 2002. I reviewed Curious George Learns Phonics and looked at other reviews online to compare.
Impact: The evaluation will help me teach because it shows that I know how to evaluate appropriate software or activities for the children in my classroom. By knowing how to evaluate software and other material, I will be able to provide the learning opportunities that my students need to succeed.
Alignment: This activity meets standard II B because I have researched
teaching learning with technology. By doing research, I will be up to date
on the latest and greatest technology and will be able to provide the most
rewarding learning experiences in my classroom. This activity aligns with
INTASC principal 3 because it shows how I understand how students have
different approaches to learning and I can create the most appropriate
learning opportunity for each child.
