The software is a proven, excellent choice to increase reading abilities in urban students in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District. The software allows teachers to design instruction based on the needs of individual students. Both teachers and students collaborate with one another to meet targeted educational goals. The software allows visual learners to "see" the information, auditory learners to "hear" digital stories and tactile learners to navigate the computer software to achieve their desired outcomes.
Does the software increase skills in knowledge reinforcement, concept development, and or problem solving? How?
The software complements differentiated instruction, especially when applied to writing and listening activities. Knowledge reinforcement occurs through thematic units that incorporate pre-reading, digital story presentation and sequencing, monitoring and predicting.
Concept development and problem solving occur when students and teachers collaborate to meet targeted goals.
What is the name of the company that publishes the software product?
Compass Learning
How will you use this software in your own classroom? Why?
I would use this software to accommodate the various learning styles of my students, especially when teaching reading, writing and listening activities. It's also a good instructional tool to promote collaboration between me as the instructor and my students. The software allows me to adjust the mastery level for each student, which enhances their learning.
