Software Analysis and Lesson Plan
Individual Component to Math Strands
I chose software that was applicable for use with my portrait of a learner student to evaluate her learning on computers. I chose the software KidPix. She and I worked on the computer together going through the software. I previewed the software first and created a lesson plan to go along with the program. During the KidPix lesson we focused on (what we focused on) (11.3). During this lesson I wanted to assess my student's learning style and how she worked on the computer (13.1). I created the lesson plan specifically for my portrait of a learner student but I also included ways that I could modify this lesson for children with special needs (13.2) and children who speak English as a Second Language (13.3). KidPix is a good program for ESL students because it can change around typing and spoken language to a different language such as Spanish.
