Software Money Purchases

[The Innovative Educator]

What are you purchasing with your software money? How do you use this to impact instruction?

[Joe Pascarelli]

We purchase United Streaming. United Streaming allows teachers to download outstanding instructional videos and documentaries to be used in the classroom.



Another popular site is we use is BrainpopBrainpop. The site has many terrific animated programs.

Right now we are not spending to much on Software. I am currently looking into training our staff and students on the softeware available on our laptop. I will be looking into other software for content areas but I want to take the time to research it, because famis does not offer a good description of what is available. When we purchase software for our content areas I want it to be accessible, user friendly, affordable and effective.

Has anyone been able to purchase Brainpop using NYSTL funds? If so, how did you do it? I haven't been able to find a way to get it purchased through NYSTL.
