ch 6

Chapter 6

                  This chapter focused on academic software. While reading this chapter I remembered using most of this software while growing up. I also have seen much of this software while observing in classrooms. I see more of the software for younger grades but also in upper high school grades as well. I enjoyed learning about paint programs. I think some students may not like to draw and this would be a great tool to use if you were uncomfortable drawing or painting. In this chapter I learned about problem-solving software and mapping software.

                  I think this chapter makes you aware of the different styles of learning. I think that some students really enjoy learning from a computer and certain software programs. I definitely would love to have as many educational games and software programs in my classroom to use to teach. I agree that academic software encourages creativity and deeper understanding for students. I think if there is any down time during class or if any students would finish assignments early they could use an educational software program to gain more knowledge
