Software Review Online


There are many software review websites available online for educators.  I reviewed the following four websites: SREB EvaluTech, California Learning Resources Network, Superkids, and Education World.  Each website provided information on educational websites and reviews either by educators or program users.
            Superkids evaluated the largest number of titles and appeared to be continuously updated.  This website also provided a great index that showed the wide range of topics for the software that has been reviewed.  California Learning Resource Network also provided a variety of resources that had been reviewed.
            All of the websites offered reviews by site visitors. Educators and teams of people who had used the different software had done most of the reviews.  I would use each of the websites to learn about software that I am considering for my students.  The site that I would go to first would be Superkids because it tells why the programs would appeal to kids, how to install, and the system requirements. Using websites like these software reviews will allow teachers to make informed decisions about what software to use with students.
