Chapter 5 Response

3 Things Learned
1.  Software that can potentially help generate worksheets, tests, and grade details are useful tools that can expedite the process for all three of those areas, and allows the teacher more room to be able to make those essential connections with the student.
2.  Graphics tools that allow for creative works to be produced in conjunction with publishing to the entire class or possibly the web allow students to explore their creative selves.
3.  Concept maps can also be a useful and different tool for students to consider their ideas or to generate a project.

2 Connections
1.  I could use Accelerated Reader to help assess how my students are advancing in their reading skill and to encourage more exploration of reading topics.
2.  I could also use some sort of graphic tool to encourage students to visualize a story or some of their own writing that could help them make a better connection with their work and their understanding of their education.

1 Question
With all of these resources how do I know which ones are going to be right for my classroom and keep myself from being overwhelmed by having to continually update or do something with the software?
