Extractions: I started my six-year-old daughter off with this CD during the summer before she entered first grade. I would never push my children to learn beyond their abilities, but my daughter enjoyed playing this game so much that I would let her spend a half-hour on it each day. Well, I really didn't have a choice. If I didn't, she would beg me to get on the computer and play!

Extractions: Pre-K to Grade 2 "To Market, To Market" is a software program that can be used for teaching early number concepts. The activities included in the software are engaging and entertaining. The program is designed to build on children’s intuitions about the nature of number. This reflects what mathematics educators and researchers have learned about how children construct concepts of number. Children, using the software, discover relationships (more, less, one more than, one less than, and part-part-whole) that provide a foundation for developing understandings of mathematical operations. The use guide of "To Market, To Market" contains valuable information for teachers. A short summary of research pertinent to children’s learning early number concepts is included. I particularly appreciated the chart showing how the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) standards and principles are addressed by various games in the program. A matrix of specific concepts and skills matched with games and levels of games allows teachers to direct students to appropriate places for students to work. Teachers will also find the ‘Using the Game to Teach’ most helpful. These pages contain instructional guidance, user tips, and classroom guidance. The resources show teachers

Extractions: The following review is a continuation of a series of reviews about Business English software in three volumes. The last of this series was a review of Volume II Volume III is entitled Career Advancement and concentrates on the job finding process and in-house communication skills with a short section on British English. It includes: Unit 9: Assignment in U.S. or U.K. Job Advertisements Research a Company Review a resume Draft a Cover Letter Interview Errors Discuss Benefits A Job Offer Resigning from a Company The first four sections of this unit tracks the application process for a job at an international coffee house which plans to expand overseas. It begins with reading the basic documents of a job search: the job advertisement, a short writeup of the company, the resume of the interested applicant and, finally, a draft of the cover letter. This approach helps familiarize the student with the standard documentation used in a job search. The interview process itself is presented in a challenging and highly interesting manner. The section begins with a nightmare! This whole "nightmare" interview includes about every major mistake that a prospective interviewee could make during an interview. This complete disaster is then followed by the "real" interview that goes very well indeed. By presenting the job interview in this manner students have an excellent opportunity to learn the ins, as well as, the outs of what makes a successful interview. the final listening section is an extremely nice touch which concerns the resignation from a company, an often overlooked but very sensitive matter.

Extractions: Teacher Training: A Question Of Technology As more and more colleges and institutes purchase technological resources to enhance their curriculum, the need for parallel teacher training is increasing. Successful teacher training courses on technology require effective course development. How can this be done? In 1996, my colleague Karen Goettsch and I began sending out questionnaires to see how teachers felt about the different types of technology, asking questions about audio, video, computer software, the Internet and email. We wanted to know what teachers were using, what kind of training they were getting, and what kind of training they wanted to get in the future. Teachers by and large responded that they felt it was not enough to get training in using technology. Most teachers primarily wanted to know how to integrate technology into their existing classroom curriculum; to learn how to evaluate different types of educational technology, develop lesson plans, and determine whether it was worth it all. We used this research to write a book on the topic and to develop various workshops on teaching ESL with technology. We began teaching a class through the Hamline University Graduate Studies program in St. Paul, Minnesota. In this class we work to make teachers more comfortable with using a wide range of technological materials. We emphasize the need for teachers to analyze their students and work from there. Above all, we stress that technology should not be used just because it is currently the latest craze, but only when it can truly enhance their classroom curriculum, and facilitate learning.

Extractions: Articles Choosing School Software by Tammy Payton This article has appeared on the following website: the Well Connected Educator Articles and Interviews Software Comes First Ideally, choose your software before committing yourself to what hardware and platforms you'll be using. By choosing the software before you purchase your computers, you can be sure that the programs will run efficiently. Schools often purchase their operating systems and network software before they've chosen the software. This limits your choices. All software that you purchase has specific system requirements in order for it to run properly. If you've already purchased your hardware, then you need to narrow your software choices to those that will operate on the system and the system's capabilities that you have. If you have a networked system, be sure to see if the software you are looking at has a networked version.
