Here are a few questions for teachers using (or not using) skills
software programs.

Do you use software that helps students practice GED or pre-GED skills,
such as produced by Glencoe/McGraw Hill or Contemporary or other
publishing/software companies?

How does it fit into your instructional program? (For example, how
frequently do students use it?  What role does the instructor/facilitator play?)

Which students seem to benefit from it?  Which don't?

Any other reflections or comments.

John
