11. School-Mom for Windows, Volume 1 (Colorbook)
Colorbook for Windows is the first in a series of Windows educational
products from MES and GoWest Educational Software. The goal of
this effort is to produce software that will take your child from
his/her first introduction to a computer to college-level concepts.
ColorBook for Windows is the first program in this series.
The purpose of Colorbook for Windows is to introduce your pre-schoolers
to computers. The skills learned at this stage are primarily mouse
skills such as pointing and clicking. These are skills which are
inherently difficult to learn and requires eye, hand and finger
coordination. To help your child in this endeavor ColorBook is
designed with large, easy-to-locate mouse cursors which indicate
function. Each mouse action is accompanied by prompt visual and audio
recognition of events for instant feedback. In ColorBook, the only
new concept introduced to your child is be the mouse.
In addition to the educational benefits, ColorBook for Windows
also removes the dangers of a traditional paper coloring book by
eliminating the crayons. We all know these usually end up coloring
much more than just the coloring book! For the old-fashioned at
heart ColorBook for Windows has the capability of printing
uncolored pictures which the child may then color using crayons.
To counter the dangers of having a child use the computer on
which may reside important information and documents, Colorbook for
Windows possess a feature called Kid Mode. When this mode is
activated (the default) ColorBook may not be minimized or exited.
In effect, ColorBook takes over the Windows display for itself
while not affecting programs running in the background.
Colorbook is designed as a complete Windows application and
supports CUT, COPY and PASTE of bitmaps in device dependent and
device independent format. ColorBook supports reading and writing
bitmap files in compressed (the default) and uncompressed format
(to be compatible with Windows PaintBrush). ColorBook for Windows
can print the colored picture in full color if a color printer is
available to Windows, otherwise the image will be printed in
black and white. With Colorbook you can also create your own
pictures using straight lines, freehand, boxes, circles, ovals and
text. An erase capability is also available. As you can see its
a full-featured program.
Requires Windows 3.1 or later version. By GoWest and Motes Educational
Software. ($15)
12. Snakes and Ladders
This version of Snakes and Ladders is based on the traditional board
game, but we have added some simple sums to get kid's brains working.
Besides being just another game it helps young children learn to count
up to 100 in steps of 1 to 6. It's easy - just count on from the
square you are on, the number thrown on the dice. At the end of the
game there is a score of how well you have done. You can play against
the computer or a friend and if you just want to play for fun you also
have the option of switching the sums off. Requires DOS 3.3 or later,
EGA+ graphics, and 640K RAM. By SoftSell but distributed in the US by
Motes Educational Software. ($20)
