Selecting Software for Young Children

http://www.netc.org/earlyconnections/primary/software.html
This site is directed to any teacher in any subject area. The cite gives great tips like:
  • Involve children in selecting software that matches their interests
  • Monitor the amount of time they spend at the computer
  • Talk with them about their activities
  • Try not to overwhelm young children with too many choices
If a teacher uses these tips and technology correctly in the classroom it will....
  • Supports your goals and your philosophy of teaching
  • Enhances the curriculum
  • Helps children solve problems independently
This site is great if you are a beginner like me. The cite will help a first year teacher from having a lesson that flops because technology doesn't work that day. The site also has other links that have software and reviews of many others.
