Scott Walker Software Evaluations [] [] This program is available on both Mac and Windows operating system. 5.Algebra 1 Solved
 * 1) Kidspiration 3 by Inspiration Software;
 * 2) This software is a well rounded program that uses visual learning principles to further develop students in grades k-5 in the areas of reading and writing and math. The software helps to develop strong thinking skills and build conceptual math skills along with strengthening reading and writing skills.
 * 3) This program includes: tutorials, simulations, and problem solving.
 * 4) I could use this program as a tool in small groups or during their seat work, have all students get one ten minute computer session per every two weeks, and compare their results.
 * 5) The versatility is a greatest strength of this program. It takes subjects to a different level, and has multiple ways to teach the same topic.
 * 6) The program is sold as an individual program for $59.95 or in a 5, 10, or 20 user package ranging from $275-$750. The program that can be found at the academic superstore and is available in multiple operating systems via the link : []
 * 7) Touch Money by PCI Publishing
 * 8) This software is used to help to count and arrange money to make values. The program has steps from activities to a final game where their scores can be evaluated. I was in a second grade class this spring and a program where they can manipulate and see the money values is essential for learning.
 * 9) This program includes instructional games, drill and practice, and simulations.
 * 10) In a second grade class I could use this program as visual for the actual instruction of the lesson. A computer program has a way of grabbing the attention of the students and allowing for a discussion. I could also use it as an incentive for good behavior because they are still learning.
 * 11) The strength of this program is that is has an interactive way of getting the students excited about math. Math at that level is about repetition and to stimulate the students each time is tough, it allows for another angle at learning the skills. The only negative that I see possible is that the other traditional methods will become less important and their effort will suffer.
 * 12) This program can be purchased for $69.95 for the first, and $19 for each additional license. It is available in both Mac and Windows additions and can be purchased at
 * 1) Math Mission: The Amazing Arcade Adventure
 * 2) This software is designed to use the everyday math skills and apply them to help run a virtual city. The program is for grades 3-5, and has the ability to adapt to the students individual levels. It has standard-based problems which are meant to assist in the application of everyday math skills.
 * 3) This program is an instructional game meant to entertain and to teach the students application.
 * 4) I could see this program as a group activity for the class, where as a class we could help run the city. I could assign groups with individual tasks to help build and run the city. Uniting the class as a team would allow us to think together and apply the math skills we are looking for.
 * 5) A great strength of this program will be the entertainment and excitement the students could have with this program. Having students apply their math skills for purpose will allow the students to see the affects of their skills and help to show them a little real life experiences. Although this program may be entertaining, it has limitations and only one function.
 * 6) This program can be purchased for $34.99 online, and has no group rates. It is available in both Mac and Windows operating systems and can be found at this site:
 * 1) Sight Words with Samson
 * 2) This software is designed as a comprehensional reading tool for beginning readers. The program consists of using sight words in flash cards, worksheets, and others to assist in the learning to read process. It is designed for the beginning reader but can assist with students in the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd grade.
 * 3) This program uses a drill and practice approach as well as a simulation to reinforce readings skills.
 * 4) I see myself using this as a tool in small reading groups, once a week to use as a tool to assist in the process. I could also use this as a check up on students to allow the program to lead a lesson and to be able to watch them navigate and see where they are at once a month, as an assessment tool.
 * 5) I think this a great program and it take and uses sight words in a variety of setting. With relatively low costs, this tool seems great.
 * 6) This program can be purchased for the entire class at $59.95 with a saving of $20 from []
 * 1) This software is designed as a tool to assist in the learning process. It gives a step by step process to solving algebra problems. The students lead the process and gives practice tests, and allows them to lead to the solving of the problem.
 * 2) The program is a problem solving and simulation program.
 * 3) I see this being a tool to help students that may be struggling. It provides a step by step process to solving the problem which is the toughest part for most. It can be used as a study guide for tests and allows another opportunity to learn the skills.
 * 4) This program has the ability for the student to take ownership of the learning rather than the instructor leading to all the results. A weakness I could see is that this would be a great tool for home and could really help the student when they get home and are struggling. If anything this program can supply the students with some confidence which leads to better performance.
 * 5) This program can be purchased online for $39.95 and is available on Windows operating system. []
