1. My top three were: Interwrite systems, Oncourse, and Crick software. I was looking from a primary educators background and looking for things that would enhance what we already have in the schools, or at least what we have at Whit Davis.

__Interwrite__ is similar to Smart, but it is more affordable and works very well. Interwrite is based out of the US which is why they are cheaper. They have a writing slate that uses bluetooth technology and has a range of up to 300 feet. Smart's new writing slate only goes up 54 feet. Moreover, we could use the interwrite slate with the smartboards that we already have. When you have to be connected to the docking station, you lose a lot of opportunities that you would have with the writing slate. __[|www.interwriteLearning.com]__

__Oncourse__, which we have, has a great webpage template that is easier to use than the one we currently have in place. It takes so long to upload pics into our current system. We have this already, I think we should use it. I think more teachers would do a webpage using this software. [|www.oncoursesystems.com]

Crick software has great writing/reading programs called Clicker. They would do well in a lab for k-2 students. [|www.cricksoft.com]
