Guest Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Hi I have been told by our ICT co-ord that we can have £500 of e-learning credits for YR and Y1. I am meeting with the Y1 teacher this week. Does anyone have any strong reccommendations for software to suppport learning in the Foundation stage? Thanks R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Sorry, new to this game. Have just realised that this should be in another area. Not sure how to move it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apple Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 2 simple is fantastic.... easy to use for Yr, Y1 and even Y2. Great publishing, logo, graphs, painting. My Reception love it and it's great to use on the interactive as they can get more control using their fingers rather than a mouse to draw with. Strongly Recommended. They also have a handwriting one which we have just ordered so I can't tell you about it but the blurb looks good. You might be a able to get a trial run at both these or better still get in touch with the company and ask for a demo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Thanks Liza I'll cetainly look into that one. Even better that it could cover several classes. R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Sherston Software have some really good titles - Tizzy, Fizzy, Learning Ladder, At the Vets, At the Cafe, At the Doctors, 123 CD, ABC CD to name a few! They'll let you have them on 30 days evaluation as well. Little Monster and Just Grandma talking books are good as well but I can't remember the publisher. Colourcards interactive and Sequences - I think they're published by Granada. For evaluations of software try www.teem.org.uk Hope this is helpful.

Guest Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 I echo that 2simple is a fab range! 2animate and 2handwrite are good have that on approval at the moment. Waiting on 2email where you can send emails to different classes/people with out actually going onto internet etc! Leaps and bounds is also good for foundation stage, clicker 4, textease ... whoops got carried away! Espresso is also worth looking into! Hope this helps!
