SCHOOL-MOM is one of the most comprehensive children's educational
programs available. SCHOOL-MOM is a complete educational tool for
children, ages 4 to 14.
Multilevel modules are provided for Math, Music, English, Spelling,
Art, and Time.
The Math module contains four levels of addition and subtraction,
multiplication and division, and four levels of pre-algebra math. It
also contains two arcade math games. The first, Laser Blast, is a
counting game that teaches quantity. The second, Applespider, is an
exciting game that drills the student in basic addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division.
Three music modules let you use the keyboard to write tunes as you
watch the notes appear on the screen. The first level allows eight
notes to be played in seven octaves. The second level allows the note
duration to be changed. The third level allows sharp and flat notes.
Tunes can be edited, played back and stored.
The English module contains three learning levels. The first level
teaches children how parts of speech such as nouns, verbs, adjectives,
and adverbs are used in sentences. The second level teaches sentence
structure. The third level teaches subject-verb agreement.
The Spelling module contains three sub-options -- Alphabet, Random Word
and Homework Exercises. The Alphabet option is used to teach upper and
lower case alphabet letters. The Random Words option flashes words on
the screen and gives you three seconds to spell them. It has four
levels. The Homework Exercises option can be used to enter the daily
spelling homework so the computer can drill the student on the words.
The Art module gives students the chance to be creative. Draw, Spider
Webs, Space Tunnels, Space Worms, and Space Ribbons are the five
options available in the art module. The Draw option allows the
student to draw freehand with either the joystick or the mouse. The
Spider Webs option allows the child to control the actions of a spider
who leaves a web behind him. The last three sub-options allow the
student to create beautiful screen art with three-dimensional qualities
using either a joystick or the keyboard.
The Time module has four learning levels that teach children to tell
time. A ticking clock is shown on the screen and the student must
choose the correct time from a list of three answers.
The Exam module allows the teacher or parent to create and score
multiple choice examinations. Two exams on US Capitals and US
Presidents are already provided.
