As I continued to read through ch. 6 I discovered even more amazing software options. Special needs software reads aloud words or letters to assist students who are hearing impaired. The software also allows opportunities for assistance for students with learning disabilities. This is very exciting for me in particular because I have a student in my classroom right now that I think could benefit from this software.
Problem solving software also allows more hands on opportunities for learning. Brainstorming or Concept-Mapping software "generates digital maps of concepts that represent a visual depiction" which could be used in curriculum development and classroom mapping of curriculum.
Academic databases give educators access to much more organized sites in which to gain ideas or share information with other people who may in similar classroom situations.
This was a very informative chapter.
