Application software is used to improve efficiency in the K-12 classroom. With the use of application software the teachers and students have the ability to edit, do multiple layouts, formatting. The Teacher can prepare a total lesson with the use of application software such as word processor, spreadsheet or Data base applications. The applications are versatile tools to use in the classroom for the teacher and are fairly simple to use for even novice technology users. Application software can give users in the K-12 classroom instant feedback on work that they are doing by means of spellcheck, grammar check, sentence structure..etc.
Students can use application software to write papers and document research or work on spreadsheets of information or do concept-mapping. This will help to organize and help to understand different concepts.
describe what is the role of application software in K-12 education? Together students and teachers can use the application software in conjunction to streamline classroom work and perform in a more efficient manner.

ReplyDeleteI am glad that you are putting emphasis on the use of technology as a tool in the K-12 classroom, unless it is a computer literacy or computer science course you are teaching, then the technology become the content for the course.
However, in other courses, the content to be taught/learned should always be the focus; application software just helps make that happen better in many cases.
