Activity 4: Finalising your criteria
for review of software
Finalise
your criteria
2 hrs
In Activity 2 you considered some formal
and quite academic criteria. In Activity 3, you explored
how real teachers around the world have reviewed software.
You should now be able to define your own framework for reviewing
software in your context. In this activity, you finalise your
evaluation criteria. By doing this you will be creating an
authentic tool to use when reviewing your own choice of software
products in the next few activities.
Activity
Instructions
Review the ten criteria you developed
in Activity 2 and combine them with any new ideas
you found in Activity 3. Try not to make your list
too long (but you may have more than ten if you
want to!).
Produce an evaluation template
that you will use to evaluate the software that
you have identified for potential use in your class
/ school. Consider
this example and produce something in a similar
style. Save it in a file using the name Review.
Share the file called
Reviewonline with your group (using the subject heading "Final Criteria"). Make sure that
you or your group members have not just copied the
example in step 2. Comment on evaluation templates
that you think will benefit from your input by writing
a message to the person concerned.
Note that
you will be using this evaluation template in
the next three activities.
