Instructional Software Reviews
School of Education
State University of New York (SUNY)
Potsdam
The following are software reviews performed by students in SUNY Potsdam's
Teacher Preparation program. Each student reviewed the software using
the Appraisal Checklist found in the text Instructional Media (1993)
by Heinich, Molenda, and Russell (load
the software review form template here) What follows is list
of titles, followed by the overall grade (A to F). Clicking on each
review will bring up more information on that specific software title.
Some software has been reviewed by more than one person. In this
case each review is listed. It is hoped that this can serve as a
resource for educators interested in purchasing software for their schools/classrooms.
This is not meant to be used as a definitive source of information regarding
this software, and it is encouraged that potential software purchases be
reviewed first by the person, people, or organization that will be using
the software.
