Where
to Go to Be in the Know?



Kelly Romero



  • www.edsoft.com
    – This Australian company is dedicated to researching
    instructional and educational online technology, products and
    software. Edsoft uses their experts on education as well as conducts
    classroom research on products. The website offers information and
    suggestions about the products they review. Out of all of the online
    product review companies that I have found, this one seemed to have
    the best plan for researching the products and the knowledge of what
    they are needed for. The company is focused on meeting needs of
    students, meeting educational standards and assisting teachers in
    real classroom settings.


  • www.reviewcorner.com
    – This company is focused on the review of online educational
    products for children rather than teens. The website mentions that
    products go through testing with children and their parents rather
    than in a classroom. While the site does say that it is used by
    teachers, it seems to be more focused on home educational settings.
    The website posts and easy to understand rating system of products.


  • www.fcit.edu
    – This website for the Florida Center of Instructional
    Technology at University of South Florida is not a product review
    website; however, it can offer insight, suggestions and opportunity
    to look into the purposes of instructional technology and how to
    incorporate it for Florida teachers in particular. If you are only
    beginning to incorporate technology into your classroom or if you
    are a first time Florida teacher, this website will be helpful to
    you.
