Measuring Tools

This interactive teacher software is a part of The Interactive Pintar Math Toolbox which allows pupils to easily visualize and interact with different measurement devices. The software allows the teacher and students to measure and weigh objects accurately and convert for example, centimetres to inches and pounds to kilograms. This software tool can be used together with an interactive whiteboard to help engage students in a fun way of learning.

Student Information Systems Software



Student Information Systems are software systems which are networked to help educators keep track of student, class, and school data to maintain records and support decision making (Roblyer, 2006).

Some benefits of using the systems are:
  • Maintain records on students' demographic data
  • Track and report attendance
  • Track and report test scores
  • Easy registration of students for classes online or offline
  • Notification purposes

As some schools within Trinidad and Tobago become modernized, they see the relevance of utilizing these systems software. Therefore, as teachers we ought to make ourselves familiar with computer technology in education.
