software evaluation

Software evaluation was probably an interesting task because we have to evaluate children’s game to ensure its suitability. My group got thinkin’ thing: the sky island. I never thought that it is quite hard to evaluate a game for primary school students because we have to ensure that it fulfil the criteria to ensure the appropriateness of the games itself for their learning. I just thinking that game is the best way to help students learning through their sub conscious mind. While they are playing the game, they also learn new knowledge that is useful for their education. However, I don’t think this method is widely in school around Malaysia, maybe because lack of locally produce software that would cater to Malaysian school context and follow our curriculum. Having said that, in my opinion, if a teacher knows how to utilize the game, it would be a big boost to improve student’s motivation.
