Instructional Software

There are two types of instructional computer software: tutorial and drill/practice. Tutorial software can stand alone as a type of instruction on the computer. However, I agree with the textbook that computers should never take the place of classroom teachers when it comes to instruction. Drill and Practice on the other hand is software that provides students with practice exercises for subjects such as math and reading. Drill and Practice software also gives immediate feedback to the student based on correctness of answering a question.
I do not remember using tutorial software while I was a student back in the 1990s. However, I do remember using the computer for drill and practice. For example, I grew up using Word Munchers and Batters Up to practice my reading and math skills. I recently studied to get my Ametuer Ham Radio license by studying with an online drill and practice software. This software provided me with the exact questions I would see on the test in a multiple choice format. I was able to memorize the material and get immediate corrective feedback using this software.
After reading about Instructional software, I realized that I do not use tutorials for instruction in my classroom. I do teach first grade and I do not think that tutorials would be effective since my students are just learning how to read. I teach an inclusion class, and I believe that my students do benefit most from drill and practice software on the computer. The software I currently use is Word Munchers, JumpStart First Grade, Reader Rabbit, and Spelling Connections. My students also regulary take STAR tests, but I am confused on how to label this software. Is it a tutorial or drill and pratice? I think STAR could be tutorial software because it has computer-management capabilities where teachers can gather reports and instructional reading goals for each student. However, I think STAR could be drill and practice software because of its timed nature and how students have a set time to answer the questions. The goal of using STAR is to let the teachers know their students' reading ranges, but it does not teach the students how to read.
How would you classify this software?
