Activity 3: Reviewing Educational Software

This activity was quite enlightening. I realized that you just cannot select and use a educational software because it is  available or because others are using it. Like websites you need to carefully review and evaluate educational software before you select them for use in the classroom. You need to look at factors such as the purpose and layout of the software. Is it easy to install and navigate? Is the language clear and easy to understand? What about cost? Would the users be able to afford it? I was pleased to be able to gain information on how to evaluate software. This put me be in a better position to select and recommend useful software to educators.
