Week 8

This week, we were introduced to software evaluation rubrics researched and Developed by Kristin Miller and Jacqueline Bach, SAS inSchool Interns.

The rubrics evaluates the software and websites based on several aspects such as the instructional contents, curriculum connections, graphics and multimedia, lay-outs, technical aspects, adaptability and accessibility, learner engagement and interactivity, teacher and learner support material, assessment, age/grade level, and lastly flexibility.

We, teachers nowadays are showered with teaching aids from different sources. But we need to make sure that the sources comes from a reliable sources with high validity, not ones that is not available the next day when you're trying to find the a teaching aids from the same source. We also needs to make sure that the source gained from the internet meets certain aspect of the curriculum. This is because the information exists in net can be facts, opinions, stories, interpretations, statistics and it can also be fake. This is why need to evaluate the sites before proceeding it and incorporates it into our lesson.
