THE SOFTWARE AS AN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE

How can a software enhances the creativity and skills of a learner?

What do we mean by Software? Software is the one who runs the computer it is the heart of the computer without software a computer won’t work. It is system that commands the computer machine what to do. The monitor, mouse, CPU these are the parts of a computer Microsoft Windows is the most widely used software in the while world .Wherein it is the easiest software to be used. Through this a teacher and student can then got instructional materials that could be used in the teaching- learning process. . Instructional software is those which can be downloaded in the internet. But as a teacher they should only choose instructional software that can be used in the teaching-learning process.

          Some software is developed for educational purposes like for instance the Microsoft Windows that opens a new world to explore. It includes word processing (MS Word) for editing quality text and documents, presentations (MS PowerPoint) in producing effective slide shows and spreadsheet (MS Excel) for mathematical purposes; these three basic components of Microsoft Windows are very important in teaching-learning process. There are many kinds of software, for example is the instructional software which can be downloaded from the internet which is now useful in the integration of technology. The use of software inside the classroom enhances the effectiveness of the teachers wherein the students are exposed with different media such as text, graphics, sounds, and animations. By the use of media contained inside software, makes as an attention-getter for teachers that strengthen the understanding throughout the lesson. The best example I have is the 3D Grapher that creates graph in three dimensions that includes good color scheme for ease understanding. The only thing you should do in using this is by importing the equation to be graph. It is very helpful in slid geometry.

          The use of different software must cope with the needs of the students to learn not for its dehumanizing effect. Software is helpful in the part of the teachers in improving new technique of teaching.
