There was one session where Mdm Foziah let us view a few children softwares. She brought a bunch and my group got one detective game CD. I think this game will serve as a good tool for pupils to generate their reasoning and analyzing skill as being a detective, they need these two HOTS in order to solve the cases in the CD. This CD is highly interactive, where they are a lot of conversations going on, and they serve as clues for pupils to synthesize the all the clues that they can get and then gradually figure out the source of the problem.
One weakness about this software that i can observe is that it challenges pupils patience. There are conversations which last for a couple of minute per one, and there is no option to skip them. That will reduce the thrill for the game overall as even adults will feel impatience let alone children. Perhaps the clues should be made simple yet challenging.
Other than the detective game software, we have also seen others that let children explore some simple contraptions. They are all interesting, highly interactive and highly motivating. The software all contain colourful and interesting graphics and animation that attract even us as adult.
It thus inspires us that we can use these children softwares as our teaching aids as well next time...
