Software

Educators use different types of software daily.  To aide in my instruction, I personally use the following:

 

• Drill and Practice- I make PowerPoint slideshows to review sight words, letters, numerals, etc.

• Tutorial- I use the software our reading and math books came with, they have videos and games to help in the teaching of the subject.

•  Instructional Games-  Some games I use are the games that are included with our Scott Foresman Math Series and the Imagine It Reading Series.

• Problem Solving- I use the Jump Start Software to aide in teaching, I also use http://www.hekko.com/ , http://www.fun4thebrain.com/, www.ixl.com all for math. For reading I use www.starfall.com, www.mightybooks.com, and many more. 

• Simulation-  We use the gallery on our Interwrite Boards, they have many Flash games the kids can interact with, they love it.
