This advice isnt sugarcoatedin fact, its sugarfree, and may even be a little bitter. Welcome to Tough Love. The Best of the Basics. Members of the Education World Tech Team shared what software they considered absolutely essential to even the most basic educational technology program. Our experts came up with 2. The Education World Tech Team provided our readers with an extensive list of the best educational software in eight different categories productivity software, presentation software, curriculum software, keyboarding software, web authoring software, concept mapping software, reference software, and classroom management tools. This year, in light of budget cuts facing many districts, we asked Tech Team members to recommend the most basic software programs that no school, whatever its size or budget constraints, should be without. The Team as a whole recommended 2. A few are free programs most are eminently affordable. If theyre not already on your desktop, add them to your holiday wish listFor a more extensive list of the best available educational software, check out the Tech Team articles in our series Load Em Up The Best Software in the Education World SOFTWARE PICKS FOR STUDENTSDifferent software needs are important at different grade levels, elementary technology coordinator Beth Gregor told Education World. Although all my software picks can be used at more than one grade level and I do use them in all grades I have different favorites for each grade. For kindergarten students, Gregor recommends Kid Works Deluxe. This program allows students to write and draw, Gregor noted. My kindergartners start the year learning to use some of the draw tools and to change the colors of the crayons. Very quickly, they learn to find the letters in their names, make upper case letters, and use the backspace key to delete. We move on to writing the date, which includes numbers and commas, and to using the space bar and Enter. Next we add words and sentences. Every week in the lab, in addition to writing their names, date, and words, they draw pictures related to the classroom theme of the week. We also do journal writing each week, and they start doing it on a rotating basis in their classrooms as well. For my first graders, I like both Tom Snyders Graph Club and Heartsofts Bubblegum Machine, Gregor continued. Graph Club, which teaches simple graphing skills, is very user friendly and makes learning fun for kids. Bubblegum Machine is about word families and rhyming skills. Number Maze, by Great Wave Software, in which students drive a car, take a mouse to cheese, or have a horse race through a maze, is an old program, but still a good one, according to Gregor, who calls the program the best for teaching a variety of math skills. It presents math problems horizontally, vertically, and in story problems. I start teaching Number Maze in first grade and use it all the way through fourth grade changing levels as the students skills increase. Even my special ed kids who are really only counting in first grade can do the same program as the rest of the class, but at their own levels. I preset the levels to count only what their IEPs state they should be doing. Gregor starts using Microsoft Office in third grade. I use Word for teaching keyboarding, writing, and editing skills, she said. Students also use Word Art and learn to insert pictures into Word documents. I use Excel to teach making graphs and entering data, and I use the animation tools in Power. Point to teach cartooning. Office is a great all around resourceCross Country USA from Ingenuity Works is Gregors top pick for fourth grade. This program correlates well with their social studies curriculum, she said. Students travel across the country picking up commodities in different cities. Along the way, they solve problems, use map skills to plan the trip and math skills to calculate expenses, stay healthy, and keep their trucks running properly. MORE GRADE LEVEL PICKSComputer coordinator Jennifer Wager also arranged her top picks by grade level and software type. I deal with students in kindergarten through eighth grade, Wagner pointed out, and I find that a variety of programs is necessary to cover all skills and learning levels. For graphics software, I like Kid Pix 3 for K 4 students, Wagner said. The program, which teaches students to create graphics and mini slide shows, comes with many templates and also offers an add on tool that allows kids to record their own stories. Students in grade 5 and above migrate easily from Kid Pix to Paint Shop Pro, which allows them to create higher level graphics. Those graphics can be used on Web pages, in Power. Point presentations, and more Paint Shop Pro also comes with Animation Shop, a great free add on. When it comes to productivity tools, Wagner continued, Creative Writer 2 is a must have for teaching K 3 students to use word processing programs. The icons are big and easily understood, and the program comes with add on templates, great clipart, and a paint program as well For students in grade 4 and above, any version of Microsoft Office that includes Word, Excel, Power. Point, Access, and Publisher will do the trick. If I could have only one program in my lab, in fact, Microsoft Office Professional Suite would be my choice. Theres no limit to what you can do with itWagner also recommended several other software programs for kids, including Jump Start Artist for K 3 just plain fun for learning artgraphics skills Magic School Bus Rainforest for grades 2 4 by far the best Magic School Bus Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing for grades 3 5 kids typing skills improved by more than 1. BRYCE for grades 6 8 The skills they learn and the projects they create bring out the best in all students. Kid Pix was also among the top choices of fourth grade teacher Mary Kreul, who called it a great graphics program for illustrating student writing at the elementary level. Kid Pix allows illustrations to be included in Web pages and slideshows, printed as is, or imported into other programs to make cards, posters, books, and so on, she said. THE TOP KID PICKSThe runaway winners for must have student software, however, were Kidspiration for grades K 3 and Inspiration for grade 4 and above. Those programs, which are used to create concept maps and webs, allow students and teachers to graphically represent the ideas and concepts they are learning or teaching, technology integration specialist Cathy Chamberlain told Education World. Both programs are extremely easy to use and tap into the kind of visual learning modality many people benefit from. Kidspiration and Inspiration have multiple uses, said computer training director Rusty Sinclair, including developing pre writing skills, organizing thoughts, building presentation skills, mind mapping, and webbing. Virtual Pilot 3D For - Flight Simulator Pc. Organizing ideas for writing is easy and fun with the Kidspiration concept mapping program, noted Mary Kreul. Students can create idea webs with words andor pictures, hear text read aloud, convert idea webs into outlines, and change and rearrange ideas into meaningful stories, poems, and reports. I vote for Inspiration, elementary technology coordinator Ken Barton told Education World. Inspiration can be used across grade levels and throughout disciplines to organize and map, in prewriting or planning multimedia presentations, for example. The software is compatible with Word you can import and export between the two and with Power. Point you can send an Inspiration map to Power. Point and each topic becomes a slide. Inspiration maps can be saved as jpeg files and inserted into other documents as pictures or converted into html and used on the Web.
