Product information and further reviews for Educational software

Primary Education Software Computer Shopper 1/2007 - By using fun games, graphics and sounds, educational software hopes to make computers a great learning aid for your child. Entertaining stories can also encourage children to participate. There's some educational software though that follows a more classroom approach, and these can really help those struggling at school, as well as being prefered by many adults. Review details: Six educational software titles and two websites were reviewed and rated based on the opinions of children and their parents. Scores ranged from 2 to 5 stars out of 5.

Parlez-vous PC? Computer Buyer & Upgrades 9/2007 - Learning a new language as an adult isn't easy, but there's a wide range of packages available to equip you with the skills you'll need if you want to become fluent. Most of us though just want enough to get by on a short break or business trip, and thankfully there's some excellent, and affordable, software around that can help you do just that. Review details: Four language learning packages for the PC costing less than £40 were reviewed and rated based on features, ease of use and value for money. Scores ranged from 2 to 5 stars out of 5.

Byki Deluxe 4.0 (French) MacFormat 7/2009 - After grammar and pronunciation, the third aspect of really learning a language is vocabulary. Byki's Deluxe 4.0 French version uses flashcards and the multimedia abilities of your Mac to improve your vocabulary and pronunciation.

TextExpander 2.6.1 MacUser 5/2009 - Text-heavy processes invariably involve repetitive writing of the same text strings. Smile on My Mac's TextExpander 2.6.1, a Preferences pane utility comes up with the simple solution of adding these strings via keyboard abbreviations.

Starry Night 6 Windows XP Made Easy 111 - Thanks to light pollution in urban areas, a large percentage of the population never gets to see the night sky properly. But with Starry Night, you can see the full glory of the universe from the comfort of your computer.

Wizcom Quicktionary III Lite translator scanning pen PC Advisor 6/2007 - Wizcom Quicktionary III Lite is a scanning pen which translates French or Spanish to English, and vice versa. Summer's here and, for us Brits, that often means hopping aboard a ferry or plane to go visit our continental cousins. We look forward to it all year, but do we learn the language? Of course not. Should you require use of a foreign language, but have neither the time nor the inclination to learn one, you could try Wizcom's Quicktionary III Lite.

Climate Change Computer Shopper 1/2007 - Climate change is the biggest potential problem faced by humanity, but we are a little complacent about global warming in this country. On the whole we don't experience much extreme weather, but signs such as the early arrival of spring and last summer's heatwave confirm that climate change is happening. The evidence that mankind is responsible is also now irredutable. The software packages reviewed here help you understand the relationship between short-term weather and long-term climate change. They also explain the role of greenhouse gases and how we contribute to the problem. Not only is it important that we understand what is happening and why, it is vital that we gather the evidence and information needed to try to plan effective action. Review details: Five software packages focusing on the problems of climate change and weather monitoring were reviewed and rated based on features, ease of use and value for money. Scores ranged from 2 to 4 stars out of 5.

Berlitz Premier MacWorld 3/2007 - Learning a second language can be a daunting task, but well-known instructors, Berlitz, have just come up with the Berlitz Premier software series to help you take those first steps. They'll help you learn French, German, Italian or Spanish, and there's also a package available for those wanting to learn English.

Starry Night Enthusiast 6 PC Pro 5/2007 - There's something about the planets that brings out the best in software developers. The awe-inspiring Google Earth is arguably the second finest piece of software the search giant has ever written and, for many years now, Imaginova's Starry Night series has provided a stunning, graphical journey around the rest of the universe.

Windows XP Interactive Training Windows XP Made Easy 109 - This interactive CD from Thomson is a little more interesting and accessible than computer guide books, using video tutorials with voiceovers to take you through the basics of Windows XP.

Redshift 6.0 Premium Edition PC Advisor 3/2007 - Britain's budding Patrick Moores may enjoy this latest version of the Redshift suite, but the astronomical price tag could prove less popular.

Driving Test Success All Tests 2006/07 PC Advisor 11/2006 - Having spent several years setting records for the most number of driving tests failed in my area, I felt that I, more than anyone, needed to the services of Focus Multimedia's successor to its popular Driving Test Success Theory program.
