Word-Tool Match. Review Software for Basic CHOICE. CHOICE (Challenging Options in Career Education).
Pitts, Ilse M.; And Others
CHOICE Word-Tool Match provides migrant youth the opportunity to use the computer in self-directed ways, while reinforcing job and role information presented in Basic Job and Role activity folders and workbooks. Learners select whether to play with one or two players, the career that will provide the theme for the game, and whether to play the easy or hard version. Learners match tool pictures to tool words displayed at the top of the screen. When each player has made eight decisions, a winner is declared and a summary of each learner's attempts is provided. Each time disks are used, random arrangement of tools creates a new challenge. Program objectives are to reinforce career concepts, identify tools related to particular workers, reinforce tool and worker vocabulary, practice basic computer keyboard manipulation, develop/increase computer awareness through computer assisted instruction, recognize symbols as representations of concepts, recognize graphic representations of objects, and recognize words as representations of objects. This teacher software manual details hardware requirements, backup copy procedures, student learning objectives, use of the program as a tutorial or in a classroom setting, step-by-step directions for using the program, instructions for turning the sound on or off, and a program outline and flow chart.
