Context
Document One was created in spring of 2000, for my block classes.
I used the Math Shop Deluxe Software and I accessed the following web sites
to gain reviews on the software. (KidsZone.com
) (DiscoverySchool.com ) (Scholastic.com
)
Impact
This evaluation is a good resource to use for future use in the classroom.
As a teacher, I will incorporate different software programs into my classroom
to enhance learning. By having evaluated software I will be able
to determine which software would be appropriate to use in my classroom.
Alignment
This artifact aligns with the Competencies 10.6
, 12.1
, 13.1,
and INTASC
Principle 9 . By having already evaluated software I will better
be able to evaluate software in the future, thus giving my students tools
that are not only fun but also have educational merit. This also enables
me to effectively evaluate learning and teaching. Having experimented
with the software myself I am better able to determine what to expect from
the students and how to evaluate learning. Also by having learned
how to evaluate software I am learning how to use a larger variety of technology.
