Educational Software

If you have a grade schooler, middle schooler, high schooler, or a college student at home, you know that the computer is an integral part of modern academic life. Writing reports and doing research are just the beginning of your child's educational computer opportunities. Take the proactive approach to your child's education with a number of educational software programs like those offered by Microsoft!

The most prominent Microsoft educational software series are the Encarta digital encyclopedias, reference suites, and exploration tools. Although once offered as separate series of encyclopedia Microsoft educational software programs, Encarta is now packaged in a Microsoft Student with Encarta software program kit.

Installing a Microsoft educational software Encarta program on your computer turns your entire PC or laptop into a homework-helper with tutorials, templates, and research tools to help kids in every grade. The special "Encarta Kids" section is aimed at second through sixth graders, while the more advanced Encarta program options will continue to serve your children in middle school, high school, and beyond.

The Microsoft educational software Encarta program helps students with math; science; English language and literature; art; music; geography; and second languages. These Microsoft educational software features include an "equation solver," a foreign language dictionary, advanced Internet search help, and templates to help students use Microsoft Office programs to make effective presentations and reports.

There are a number of Microsoft educational software programs that turn learning into a game. Your child can learn about math, science, music, vocabulary, spelling, and more while going on an interactive adventure. Your kids might be having so much fun, they won't even realize they're playing with Microsoft educational software!

One of the most popular Microsoft educational software game series is based on the classic children's book and cartoon series The Magic School Bus. The Magic School Bus Microsoft educational software series asks your grade or middle schooler to join Ms. Frizzle's grade school class as they hop on a school bus and shrink down to visit the inside of a human body, head for space to see the stars and planets, or head back in time to study dinosaurs firsthand.

If you're a teacher, make sure that your school's computers have Microsoft educational software like the Encarta program to help your students accomplish their homework with confidence and a sense of accomplishment at their own ability to do their assignments with minimal help. If you're a grade or middle school teacher, reserve your school's computer lab a couple of times a month to let your students have some interactive science fun with Microsoft educational software like The Magic School Bus.

Give your children or students the tools they need to succeed with Microsoft educational software that encourages learning and having fun. For more information on Microsoft educational software and to read some kids' reviews, visit SuperKids.com or LearningVillage.com.
