"provides students with integrated homework tools and content. Features include online math homework help, a graphing calculator, Microsoft Office templates and tutorials designed specifically for students, foreign language help, and a Web search companion with trusted Encarta content to help them achieve academic confidence and success."I downloaded the program (which took a couple of hours) and showed it to my teenagers. All of us kept saying, "Oh, cool!" and "Wow!" Have an equation you can't quite solve? You can plug in the problem and the program will solve it for you . . . and show you the all-important steps.
The language section includes templates so your student can easily come up with a character study or plot timeline. If only I'd had this product when I was a student. Look at it and you will say the same thing.
Now, aside from the homework helps (which are impressive), and the projects section (which is amazing), you'll also find a section called "Discover and Learn" where you can explore Encarta by subject, check out College and Career and play with "Games and Fun Stuff." A special area for kids called Encarta Kids is intended for kids from ages 7-12.
I really love this product.
It is worth every penny of its $40.00 retail price. (Really, scroll down and read the list of features on the Amazon page.) Did I mention that I love this product?
