The following is a short description of this version:
This colorful, award winning children's educational software
one of the world's best. SCHOOL-MOM version 4.1 is a
complete educational tool for children ages 4 to 14. It
contains multi-level modules for Math, Music, English,
Spelling, Art, and Time. It also contains an exam generator
with some exams already provided. Tunes are use for rewards.
With this software you can have fun and learn at the same time.
For the long description of this version, add the following:
MATH - This module contains four levels of addition,
subtraction, multiplication, division and algebra. It also
contains arcade-style math games and animated instruction.
MUSIC - This module has three levels of difficulty. Each
level allows you to use the keyboard to write tunes as
you watch the notes appear on the screen. As the learning
increases so does the complexity. Tunes can be edited,
stored and played back for later use.
ENGLISH - This module contains four learning levels. The
first level allows you to choose from lists of nouns,
verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. The computer then makes
sentences from the chosen words.
The second English level in an exciting game that requires
you to race a clock and unscramble words into a sentence
while watching out for flying arrows.
The third level teaches sentence structure by showing a random
sentence from the data files and asking you to choose the
proper structure.
The fourth level teaches subject-verb agreement by displaying
a random sentence from the data files and asking you to
choose the missing verb.
SPELLING - This module contains five options. These
are Alphabet, Random Words, New Spelling Homework, Last
Spelling Homework, and Old Spelling Homework.
The Alphabet option is for preschoolers and teaches upper and
lower case alphabet. The upper case letter is shown and you
must choose it's lower case equivalent.
The Random Words option has four learning levels. In the
first level a three letter word is shown for three seconds
then you must spell the word. As the learning level goes up
the words get longer.
The New Spelling Homework option is for entering your daily
spelling homework so the computer can drill you on the words.
When you are done you have the option of storing the words
for later use.
The fourth option, Last Spelling Homework, allows you to
recall the last set of spelling homework words. The fifth
option, Old Spelling Homework, calls up all the old spelling
homework words and drills you on these.
ART - This module allows you to show creativity and have fun
while doing it. You can choose from one of 5 options. These
are Draw, Spider Webs, Space Tunnels, Space Worms, and Space
Ribbons. The Draw option allows you to draw freehand with
either the joystick or the mouse. The Spider Webs options
allows you to control the actions of a spider who leaves a
web behind him. The last three options allow you to create
beautiful screen art with three-dimensional qualities using
either a joystick or the keyboard.
TIME - This module has four learning levels that teach
you to tell time. A clock is shown on the screen and you
must choose the correct time from a list of three answers.
The difficulty increases with the learning level chosen.
EXAM - This module allows teachers or parents to create
multiple choice examinations. The exams are graded with
the scores placed in a score file. Some exams are already
