There are several benefits of using Children's Educational Software. They are :
-Available for different age levels (2-14+)
-Inexpensive

Educational software is a valuable “computerized teacher” that offers children the advantage of interactive learning. Automatically correcting kids as they play the game makes learning fun because rewards and correction are instantaneous. Animation and sound accompanied with the traditional letters and numbers make a winning combination. Also, typing is a valuable skill that inevitably comes with the territory.

Each child has different learning capabilities and preferences which makes computer games suitable for anyone. Visual, audible and tangible learners alike are attracted to computer games so getting them to participate is so easy! Although it is not recommended that children rely solely on the computer as a teaching tool, using educational computer software as a supplement is ideal!

Although children's software can be children's 'computerised teachers', we, as teachers will never lose our importance as well. As teachers, we have to always remind us that we are the ones who facilitate learning but not the softwares. The softwares only help to make our teaching more fun, approachable!
