Instructional software is applications software designed specifically to deliver or assist with student instruction on a topic

INSTRUCTIONAL SOFTWARE

LOGOTYPES OF INSTRUCTIONAL SOFTWARE

Students work example items and receive feedback on their correctness

Provides an entire instructional sequence similar to a teacher’s classroom instruction

Computerized models of real or imagined systems

Drill andPractice

Tutorial

Simulation

LOGOTYPES OF INSTRUCTIONAL SOFTWARE con’t

Activities designed to increase motivation by adding game rules and/or competition to learning activities

Fosters component skills in problem solving, provides practice in general approaches to problem solving, and gives opportunities to practice solving various problems

InstructionalGames

ProblemSolving

LOGOLEARNING THEORY CONNECTIONS

The first instructional software reflected the behavioral and cognitive learning theories:Directed – helps students acquire and retain information and skillsConstructivist – helps students explore topics and generate their own knowledge

USING INSTRUCTIONAL SOFTWARE TO MEET CLASSROOM NEEDS

LOGO

Word processing – programs that allow people to produce documents on a computer screen Benefits: saves time, improves appearance, allows easy exchange of work

Spreadsheets – programs designed to organize and manipulate numerical data Benefits: saves time, organizes info, increases motivation

Databases – programs that allow users to store, organize, and manipulate information Benefits: reduces data redundancy, saves time, allows comparisons of info, reveals data relationships

BASIC SOFTWARE TOOLS

LOGO

Word processing - creates handouts or other instructional materials, lesson plans and notes, reports, forms, letters to parents or students, flyers and newsletters

Spreadsheets – keeps club and classroom budgets, prepares performance checklists, creates grade books

Databases – keeps inventory and locates instructional resources, mines data for planning and reporting, utilizes students info to perform required tasks, sends personalized letters

PRODUCTIVITY APPLICATIONS FOR BASIC SOFTWARE TOOLS

LOGO

Word Processing – supports the learning of the writing processes

Spreadsheets – makes visual teaching demonstrations possible, supports mathematical functions, stores and analyze data, gives projections for grades

Databases – teaches research, study and organizational skills, poses and tests hypothesis
