LESSON 14: The software as an Educational Resource

The software as an Educational Resource

Computer hardware is the computer machine that naturally an attention-getter and it is where the software where input. Software is the system use for the computer or the program of the computer. There two kinds of software the system software and the application software. System software is the operating system that is found or bundled inside all computer machines. Applications software is contains the system that commands the particular task or solves a particular problem.

There some applications software; may be a custom software that is made for specific tasks often by large corporations. Commercial software packaged for personal computers that helps with a variety of tasks such as writing papers, calculating numbers, drawing graphs, playing games, and so much more. Microsoft Windows or Windows for short is an operating environment between the user and the computer operating system also called a shell. It is a layer that creates the way the computer should work.

Windows contained operating system which provides: User convenience, new look, Information center, and lastly Plug and play. Instructional software can be visited on the Internet or can be bought from software shops or dealers. The teacher through his school should decide on the best computer-based instructional (CBI) materials for the school resource collection.

As a reporter I need some sort of motivation in my power point to prevent boredom in the class. Do I am not good in making power point but I can insert some application to do good in my presentation. As we can observe today, most school use CBI materials in their teaching because it is easier to use and can motivate the learners. For example the use of PowerPoint 2013 can help for the teacher to insert some application as their examples for the discussion. Now a days the learners is visual they cannot imagine of what you intend to portray the discussion. They need images and videos to elaborate the true images that picture out the lesson of the subject.

Therefore in giving satisfaction of what you intend to teach for your students, we use CBI but in term of helping them to understand. Make sense in using some application because the intended of CBI is to help not to ruin because of being over use of applications.
