Modukle 5 - Activity 5A

ACTIVITY 5A BLOG LINKS

I am always looking for materials online that can assist me in my teaching and learning activities because getting children to study can be difficult. One solution that can help our learners succeed in school is finding the right educational software. If a child struggles now, it is not likely that they will improve when they move into a higher class. Luckily, there are several kinds of educational software available that teach students and give them the boost they might need to succeed in school along with a variety of activities available for reinforcement.

While examining the list of sites provided in the course material, I've discovered many reliable websites. Sites that specialize in different subject areas, requires little supervision and contains straightforward instructions etc. However, it was challenging to find sites related to my subject area of Information Technology. While reviewing the resources on the websites with the given checklist I found that:
·                  There were some sites that lack the necessary content,
·                  Some sites had some very interesting science experiments that students will enjoyed.
·                  Some sites lack relevant games and simulation software but can be used for general information and ideas.
·                  Some sites that are very informative and are Teacher and Learner friendly.
·                  Some sites that offered lesson plans in accordance with the curriculum topics.
·                  Some that lack any links to social networking.
·                  Some that is free and offers printer friendly resources, drill and practice games, educational videos etc.


In conclusion Educational Software can make teaching so much more exciting and interesting. An enjoyable activity!
