Assignment B
Educational Software Review and Demonstration
Value: 15 points
Due: as scheduled.  Make sure to sign up for a presentation time with the Software Review Assignment Scheduler.

Purpose
Many interesting software packages and interactive web sites are available now for instructional use.  These resources are designed for students to use to help them learn some skill or content, or to make a product. Others are designed to help teachers do their jobs. The purpose of this assignment is to explore and demonstrate a number of these resources.
 

Task
Find a piece of educational software or an educational website.  The audience for the software may be a learner of any age or skill level in any content area, or a teacher.  Explore the software or website.

It can be difficult to install software directly onto networked machines.  I recommend that you consider the applications already installed on the lab computers, because a large array of cool titles are already there.  Another option is to bring a laptop with the software installed.

Demonstrate the software in class, sharing possible uses of the software and what you perceive to be its strengths and weaknesses.  If you need to use a Macintosh, this can be arranged.
