Meeting students goals and needs with educational applications

When choosing educational applications for students to meet their needs and goal certain key questions need to be asked such as: 

• What is the intended outcome of the application? Ex: Is it mean to help strengthen student's math skills in problem solving.

• Will the application fulfill its purpose? Ex: Does the tools possess the ability to show students where they are going wrong by providing feedback?

• Can the application be used in place of traditional classroom actives to help student's participation? Ex:Will the student's learning be as effective as traditional classroom learning?
