We began this class by learning what software is and what it is used for. There are five specific tasks performed by software that cover anything you could possibly want to do. After learning this, we focused on Wikis. A Wiki is a collaborative website that allows users to create, add to, modify, or delete the website content via their web browser. This is different from a blog in that others can make changes to a person's post. Wikis are good for collaborative writing, team work, and much more. This will be great for student group projects and such. Wikis are definitely something I can and will incorporate into my classroom if it is age appropriate for my students.
We also talked a little about Kidspiration. It is educational software that allows students to perform numerous tasks. They can organize information by creating graphic organizers. They can also work on math, science, and language arts skills. Kidspiration is amazing! I will definitely have it in my classroom for students to use.
