Childrens software

The advancement of technology in computer field today has created a vast array of children software that is available in the market. It has somehow revolutionized the ways of how education could be thought in school. As the world keep on globalizing, we could see that we could no longer depend solely on the traditional way of teaching and learning using chalk and talk. We have to integrate something new such as this into our current education.

In this week class, we were introduced to children’s software such as Freddie Fish and etc. This kind of software contains simple and easy games that are able to promote improvement in the learning of English language in particular. With the use of software in the teaching and learning in the classroom, it will help pupils to develop creative and critical thinking skills as well as skill in problem solving. Besides that, pupils will also be able to learn the language while at the same time they enjoyed playing games. This provides a very meaningful experience to the pupils which in turn will make the memory stick and lasted in their mind.

Even though these kinds of software were already out in market, but still I found out that it was not fully utilized by the teachers in school. Only a little number of teachers makes use this creation of technology in their classroom. This might be due to the problem such as lack of teachers’ competency in IT, lack of facilities in school, and also the time constraint.

In short, technology keeps on changing rapidly as the world keeps on globalizing unstoppably. So, again it depends on the teachers of how they are going to make full use of it to enhance their teaching and learning to the maximum.
