Judge's Comments:

Judge One:

"This product was the best that I have seen regarding the implementation of 21st century technology incorporated into the application. The use of eye recognition software to give a child with a severe disability the advantage to answer a teacher made question or questions that are generated by the computer itself really put this software and all of it's capabilities to the highest of standards.

The overall interface of the application and the combination of the software development to create an enriched experience for the student sets this software/application above the rest."

Judge Two:

"ChooseIt! Maker3 online is a computer assisted instruction tool that allows parents, teachers and support staff to generate choice-making activities, games and quizzes for students who are: very young; fall in the ESL category; or, have physical impairments, learning challenges. ChooseIt! can be used to create across the curriculum resources for special needs students based on student need. Step by Step Wizard guides teachers/parents through the development process. The online program is intuitive and very easy to navigate through. "
