Tools For Parents: Microsoft Student

Need help with homework? I was given the opportunity to try out and review the new Microsoft Student. It is a great program following in the footsteps of other Microsoft greats like Encarta and Office, except this one is geared for those really tough homework headaches your kids bring home. I, for one, will be a rockin’ English tutor for my kids, but if they come home with a math question harder than 2 plus 2, I’ll be belly up in seconds. Microsoft Student is a fabulous resource for parents! It can help with Math, English, and more, and it is up todate on the latest topics in our ever changing world. Check out these stats:

Microsoft Math is a collection of powerful tools that give your student the confidence to solve challenging problems in a variety of math and science related subjects.

Research & Information Tools include a full version of Encarta Premium 2008, the #1 best-selling encyclopedia brand, for the past 8 years. Discover how Encarta Premium’s trusted features can help your kids find the most up-to-date research and information on a wide variety of topics.

Foreign Language Help ensures that students can use Microsoft® Word for all their foreign language assignments.

Learning Essentials provides templates, tutorials and toolbars that walk your student through the process of creating papers, reports and presentations that will make them proud of the work they do.

Basically, if your kiddo (or you) have a question, this program can help. If you simply need to build skills or if you as an adult need a quick refresher course on a principle you’re shaky with (I’d personally like to see everyone look up the English section on using plural pronouns with singular subjects and how that is a big no-no, since that’s a writing pet peeve of mine.)

It’s another great tool!
