What Parents Need to Know
About Microsoft Student With Encarta Premium 2007
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.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how to best use this resource. Are the links that come up when researching in Encarta helpful? When researching, do they prefer to use multimedia resources or written materials? Do students find they use the encyclopedia, the language arts help, the foreign language help, or the math help the most?
