M.A. Hochberg’s Technology for Teaching

If you guessed more than 20, you were close. My current list has 24 programs to be installed!

1. Accelerated Reader
2. Adobe Flash Player
3. Adobe Reader
4. Adobe Shockwave
5. All The Right Type
6. Avervision
7. Clicker Software
8. Comic Life
9. Desktop Curtain
10. Fetch
11. Firefox
12. Flip for Mac
13. Google Earth
14. iLife 08
15. iWork 08
16. Kid Pix3x
17. Kidspiration
18. Math Facts in a Flash
19. MS Office
20. Read Naturally
21. Smartboard/Notebook
22. Stuffit
23. Tech Tool Deluxe
24. Virus Scan

While some of them, such as Tech Tools, are only used by me, others are actively used by teachers.  It saves so much time and frustration to have the programs installed and ready to go when needed.

This is especially true of Shockwave and Flash. No one likes standing in front of a class saying “It worked on my computer at home!”
