[LM_NET] TARGET: Recommended software for teacher education students

[Donna Nix <dgillila@AOL.COM>]

Greetings,

I am a curriculum librarian in a college--which means that I am responsible for the 
collection of textbooks and teaching materials that we make available for people in 
our teacher education program.

Our software collection is getting kind of dated--and it has never gotten very much 
use in the 8 years I've been here.? I really need to get some new things--but given 
the low usage--I don't know that I want to spend a big portion of my budget on it 
either.

So, here's my question.? What are the 3-5 most important software titles for K-8 
(really looking mostly for elementary) that you think new teachers should know 
about when they get that first job?

Thanks, I'll post a hit.

Donna
