Educational Software
Educational software is available for every subject area. There are hundreds of
different software packages around. We have located the best
resources in the educational software arena—from professional
software developer networking groups to producers of innovative,
cutting-edge software for math and sciences. These websites contain
valuable resources for everyone, as well as carefully selected lists
of further resources.
While
hands-on experience is best, it is not always possible in some
situations. A great software package can make the difference between
the opportunity to learn and understand, and the problem of remaining
uneducated about a subject.

Tips for Success
- Educational software is available for every subject. Math, Science
and Reading are core elements of every education. Many resources
exist for help in those core subject areas. Additionally, innovative
software helps bring other subject areas to life for students that
might not otherwise have the experience. (Think, digital frog
dissecting.)
- Even adults can benefit from software like Essay Punch. Most adults are
not taught how to effectively express their thoughts. Essay Punch
can help everyone develop a concise, descriptive and well-organized
essay, business letter or other form of written communication.
- Even if you are not an educational software developer, visit networking
sites such as the Educational Software Cooperative for the latest
news and offerings in educational software. You can also make
suggestions, via their newsgroup, for new software packages you would
like to see developed.
- Always purchase the proper license for the software you are using. Freeware
or open source software requires no license. Most paid software does
require a license and paying for the license helps the developers
develop new software and make improvements to existing software.
- When possible, use resources from educational institutions. They have the
least commercial interest in development of resources.
