Educator Preparation and Development

I'm not sure that educator preparation can help the students. I mean, teachers need to be prepared, but no matter how advanced we get (teachers) it seems that the students are behind. The problem is that they don't want to learn. They know more about computers than most adults do but, lord have mercy, try to teach them something and they come across as majorly apathetic. Teachers do need to rise to the occasion and find some way of making students interested, but that is a hard road to travel these days.

Drill and Practice Tutorial Software

Drill and Practice software can be used in just about any classroom. Students can be questioned about any particular topic and can answer these questions and be given feedback. If a weakness is found, a drill and practice tutorial can give more information based on that weakness. However, it is said that drill and practices may be boring and dull for students but this is a good way to have them study and learn some information.

Editing Software

Editing software can be used and is helpful in the Art classroom. Other than just cropping a photograph, editing software may be used to alter or enhance a picture or a piece of artwork by adding special effects to any scanned image. Students love to play with editing software to see just what they can imagine and make.
