Computer
software is used in some classrooms and it is a good decision to use after
being determined by the teacher. Certain students learn very fast compared to
the others. This needs to be understood when going to class with students who
may learn slower. When using software, a teacher should be prepared to go slow
over everything the learner needs to know. Most challenging software includes:

3.3.4 Potential Of Web Resources
Hello reader,
I managed to get many web resources, some of which are similar to those of my colleagues.
My web resource evaluation was based upon the following criteria below:
a) Currency of
Information:
All the sites below give clear up to date information
because every time they are visited, new information is found contrary what was
found before. And since the sites deal with physical geography
which takes a longer period without changing, the resource topics are not
likely to become out-dated.
b) Authority /
Credibility of Information:
All authors of these sites have proven credibility since some of them are
affiliated to book publication companies like http://www.worldatlas.comAfrica and http://www.ga.gov.au/scientific-topics/hazards/landslide/basics/causes
All the site below
have got contact information particularly email addresses for author/producer
and are hosted by a reputable organizations.
c) Accuracy and
Scope of Information:
Geography is
factual and the information given by these sites is factual or opinion based.
Therefore it can be assessed for accuracy and originality.
e) Site Design:
These sites are easy to find and explore, that’s why I
got the cutesy to explore them as resource sites in my activity of teaching.
They have good quality images, explanations are accompanied and they have
search facilities.

Reflection of 3.2.4 Microsoft Office
Hello reader,
In this blog I reflected on the importance of Microsoft office packages particularly Microsoft Excel, Power point and Microsoft Word.
Microsoft excel helps teachers to process students' examination results, manipulate it to get averages and ranks, then identify the low grade students who need additional instructions. For additional information one can explore or visit http://www.baycongroup.com/excel.htm
For the case of Microsoft word, almost every entry for computer beginners respects and uses word processing. Microsoft word helps in the preparation of students notes for subject content enrichment, Information processing and storage in the Internet etc.
Microsoft power point on the other hand helps to prepare presentations to students or any audience. It helps to save time because instead of writing using chalk or a white board marker, the teacher comes when already prepared and demonstrate what he/she has for the audience. He can insert simple motion captions, animations and sounds. Where as it save time when presenting to the learners by the teacher, it gives him adequate time to give vivid explanations and the animations and sounds help to do away with boredom.
Thank you for reading.
