Software Reviews

This week’s blog is about a list of software review sites from our class textbook Integrating Educational Technology into Teaching by M.D. Roblyer. All of these sites are used to do many things which include educational software reviews. I was able to access and compare the information from all of the sites except SREB Evalu Tech which seems to no longer be in the educational software review business. The book wants to know which site evaluates the largest number of titles. After looking at all of the sites I would say that superkids.com has the largest number of titles. There is no clear winner on question two, which asks which sites are most recently updated. All of the sites seem to be regularly updated and some of them even have the current date on the home page. I couldn't find anywhere on any of these sites where I could post my own review or where other visitors had submitted reviews. There may be a place to submit reviews of your own if you’re a member of the site since all of them have a member login section. The last question asks which site I would use to learn about software I was considering for my students. I believe all of these websites could be very useful but I prefer the superkids.com website over the others. I like the setup of the reviews and the search setup better on this site. I think these websites could be utilized in many other ways besides just software reviews.
