Give examples of the different types of software that you could use in your classroom. Be specific and mention actual software and describe how you would use them in the classroom.
Drill and Practice- In my classroom, my students can log into discoveryeducation.com and complete quizes or test on different skills that we are learning in the classroom. Teachers can set the software to allow the students two attempts when answering the questions. If the students get the answer incorrect the first time, the computer allows them one more chance at answering the question correctly. Another software that I use in my classroom is Reading Assistant. Reading Assistant is a reading software that helps struggling readers increase their fluency rate. The computer reads to the students and then the student has to read the story or song back to the computer. If the student mispronounces the word, the computer will make the reader repeat the reading until the student accomplishes mastery.
Instructional Game- In my classrrom, I assign different skills to students using Compass Odyssey. Compass Odyssey is a software that is very eye-appealing to all students and is considered fun for students. Compass Odyssey teaches the skills to students through games, puzzles, and music. Teachers can also print off the students progress using Compass Odyssey.
