Software Selection Form

There are no doubt today’s teachers have to do more in their classrooms by using educational software to make them more interesting and knowledgeable; therefore, teachers should be asked for their inputs about the software .My school does not use Software Selection Forms. After I read the suggestions in The Technology Coordinator’s Handbook, I really prefer my school to use Software selection forms to gather our inputs before purchasing software.

I think that using the Software Selection Forms to gather instructor’s inputs are very significant for the teachers and students at the same time. By using this form, Teachers will able to use software that will help students to understand lessons with easily and helpful ways. In addition, the technology coordinator can play great role by giving the educators information about specific program and how they can use it with their students. Although we do not have the forms in our school, I believe that it is very important and play a vital role by letting teachers choose the appropriate of education software and use them effectively in their classrooms.

I agree with your idea of the teachers having input in the purchasing process. As I become more technology minded, I can't help but develop lists of what I like about programs I use as well as what functions I wish the programs could perform. It would be so beneficial for all if Technology Coordinators knew these opinions prior to purchasing software.
