This document discusses instructional software and its uses in education. It defines instructional software as software that incorporates functions like tutoring, simulations, and games to help students learn. It notes that while initially used as tutoring tools, instructional software has evolved to blend multiple categories of functions. Universities and companies now develop educational software. The objectives of instructional software are to substitute some teacher roles, provide different learning resources, and produce computer-literate students. It also distinguishes system software, which manages hardware, from application software, which performs tasks. Finally, it lists seven categories of instructional software and reflects on using software creatively in teaching.

2. Introduction
 Educational/Instructional software was first used as a
tutoring tool for students in the 60s and 70s, but over
the past 30 years, it has evolved into software that
incorporates some or all of the five functions for
helping students learn.
 This provide learners to learn more ideas create more
activities that is vey important in learning.

3.  In the 21st century education
Universities like
MIT or Mississippi Institute
Technology
Different software
companies
Like Microsoft,
Google, Mulesoft

4. And other open-source
projects
Like Argentum, Wrike
have all developed software for educational
purposes that blends two or more of these five
categories of instructional software.

5. General objectives of instructional
software as a learning resource
 To substitute some major roles of the teacher in the
teaching-learning process.
 To provide different instructional software in the
betterment of the learning process.
 To produce new generation of student who are
computer literate and improve the methods of
instruction.

7. System Software vs. Application Software
System software manages and
operates computer hardware
thereby providing a platform
for other application
software.
Application software is a subset
of system software with the ability
to employ certain computer
functions directly as per user
requirements. It gives the user the
power to perform either single or
multiple tasks.

8. KINDS OF SYSTEM SOFTWARE
 OPERATING SYSTEM
Often abbreviated as OS, an operating system is
powerful, and usually large, program that controls and
manages the hardware and other software on a
computer.

9.  UTILITY PROGRAMS
A program that performs a specific task related to the
management of computer functions, resources, or file,
as password protection, memory management,
virus protection, and file compression.

10.  DEVICE DRIVERS
A device driver is a small piece of software that tells
the operating system and other software how to
communicate with a piece of hardware.

16. THE SOFTWARE MODEL

17. Furthermore
software can be used to
facilitate different
instruction

18. Seven Categories of
instructional software
 Applications
 Drills and practices
 Tutorials
 Simulations
 Educational/instructional games
 Problem-solving
 Multimedia

19. REFLECTION
 There is a lot of software that can be use in educational
purposes. The use of computer and software depends
on the user if it use in a nonsense things software are
just only a design on computers but if it use in a good
and with a purposeful activity the software becomes a
great part of computer and man invention.

20.  As a future teacher, I must practice using the software
in the computer because in the future most of my
visual aids will be printed and done using the
computers because digital age are more motivated to
learn if they see that the teacher has a creative way of
teaching and not in traditional that just only using
manila paper, chalk and chalkboard in teaching.
