Three new things I've learned...
1. A software suite is software tools that are packaged and combined together for easier use. One of the most popular software suites is desktop publishing software, which is being packaged with graphic software. An example of this is Adobe's Creative Suite.
2. Test Generators and Rubric Generators software tools are available for teachers. These tools help generate test questions and answer keys for testing, ensuring that every test is original and also helps with proofreading.
3. Data collection and analysis tools are available to help teachers find class averages, assess where they need to be teaching and spending more time on concepts and ideas.
Two connections to my own teaching...
1. There are many software tools available for me to use when planning lessons, grading and creating tests. The Electronic Gradebook software will be a valuable resource for me as a teacher, helping me to stay organized and look at average grades.
2. As a future English teacher, reading software is available for my students as a supplemental tool. This software supports many levels of understand, from the students who need more help, to the students who are ready for more advanced reading.
One question I have..
1. Are these types of software readily available for most teachers as far as funding? Or does it depend on the school district?
