What Parents Need to Know
This review of Microsoft Student With Encarta Premium 2007 was written by Jinny Gudmundsen
Parents need to know that this educational software can help kids with their math and language classes and even reports. They need an Internet connection and a Microsoft .NET Passport to be able to use the Hotmath help, the Encarta Web Links, and other online resources. The math help is extensive and can be tied to the student's textbook, so families will want to check whether the book used by their school is listed.
