Evaluation 2- IXL Software for Pre-K Skills (counting dots, inside and outside and more)

IXL Pre- K Skills is a Mathematical Problem Solving Software. It allows skill practice and to some extent exploration. The software branches into sections and sub-sections and is easily navigated through the use of hyper links. Navigation in this software comes easy to adults but posses a problem for the Pre-K students as the action buttons are small and would need further development of motor skills for proper usage.Language and construction style adheres to a more knowledgeable audience as pre scholars would be unable to identify wordings used to show grouping and directions. They are unable to link the abstract to the concrete experiences.

IXL’s main features include Audio and Visual attractions made active by action buttons, however, pre scholars are unable to use them effectively due to inability to identify the wording that accompanies them. The software contains no reference to other links and lacks motivational tools for reinforcement (no songs, claps, jingles)hence, the feedback from the directed audience lacked interest.

This software did not cater for the multiple intelligences and limitations of Pre-K students.
