Need a way to get pupils thinking, solving problems and making plans? Then this could be the program for you!
Scally is a little alien who has run away from his home on the planet `Um`, join him on his adventures and discover why.

Pupils can explore up to six different places on Scallys` planet, including Air, Land and Oceans. There are various objects in each; pupils must then discover what each object does. Each place consists of up to 25 mazes through which Scally must be guided, along with baby Scallys (Wags). Mazes are progressively challenging, but everything is there on the screen, so it is up to pupils to think their way to solutions. Levels can be pre set from a 6x6 maze, to a 12x12, so that pupils will always be working within their capabilities

As well as finding their way around Um, pupils can explore how puzzles are put together. This additional feature can challenge older pupils to design puzzles that are suitable for use by their younger counterparts.

This title can be used as a tool to develop problem-solving skills in Maths, English and Design and Technology as well as being a useful introduction to modern games programming.

A Midsummer Night's Dream is a set text for 11-14 year olds in England and remains one of the most accessible and popular of Shakespeare's plays for secondary students the world over.


Readership: Teachers and students of English aged 11+ in the UK and in international markets.

Description
Richard III is one of Shakespeare's most popular plays on the stage and has been adapted successfully for film. This new and innovative edition recognizes the play's pre-eminence as a performance work: a perspective that informs every aspect of the editing. Challenging traditional practice, the text is based on the 1597 Quarto which, it is argued, brings us closest to the play as it would have been staged in Shakespeare's theatre. The introduction, which is illustrated, explores the long performance history from Shakespeare's time to the present. Its critical engagement with the play responds to recent historicist and gender-based approaches. The commentary gives detailed explication of matters of language, staging, text, and historical and cultural contexts, providing coverage that is both carefully balanced and alert to nuance of meaning.

Documentation of the extensive textual variants is organized for maximum clarity: the readings of the Folio and the Quarto are presented in separate banks, and more specialist information is given at the back of the book. Appendices also include selected passages from the main source and a special index of actors and other theatrical personnel.


Readership: Students, scholars and teachers of all levels, theatregoers

Finding Things Out'
Early school computer databases were difficult to use until Logotron launched the award-winning Junior PinPoint. Junior ViewPoint builds on that excellence and gives you greater power than ever to sort, search, analyse and graph information.

Children must acquire relevant skills and knowledge, and both the Mathematics curriculum and the National Numeracy Strategy include data handling for all children.

Junior Viewpoint allows a database to be created through the design and completion of a questionairre. Designing the questionairre is an intuitive drag and drop operation. Data can be displayed and interrogated in a variety of different ways, allowing for the full potential of a computer database to be realised.

As well as allowing for the creation of original databases, Junior Viewpoint is rich in curriculum-relevant content (covering Geography, History, Science, Maths, ICT, Religious Studies, Citizenship, Literacy and more) which allows data-handling to take place across the curriculum.

The software has three pre-configured interfaces, but can easily be configured to meet any learner`s specific needs, making the program as powerful or as simple to use as you wish. The range of super realistic natural media effects allows all users to work intuitively with the same tools on the computer that they have already used in their real life Art & Design work. With the use of a graphics tablet the program provides a natural-user experience for drawing, painting and animation directly onto the screen using a host of media effects and tools.

With this program you will be able to create radio programmes, slideshows, rostrum camera documentaries and even high quality video feature films.
The carefully selected sample video clips, sounds, music and images will help your pupils develop their literacy skills using multimedia elements, without any need to purchase specialist photography or film making equipment. Pupils can also produce powerful and persuasive documentaries and video projects using nothing more than a microphone and still images produced on a simple, low cost digital camera.

Literacy is the art of communicating and in the modern world the moving image media are as much part of literacy as traditional printed materials. Now the materials used in literacy lessons need not be restricted to printed words, they can include images and sounds as well.
