SOFLOW SOFTWARE
Geometry is the first in
a series of educational software from Soflow Software designed as a
revision aid for the '0' level syllabus. The program comes in several
sections and uses not only diagrams and text on screen but also that
unique, but much underused, Atari feature, the audio sound track. Each
section of the program is introduced and commented on by a clear female
voice on the soundtrack and care has been taken to ensure that the
soundtrack supplements the program and does not merely repeat what is on
screen. The program itself requires interaction from the user in
answering questions at various stages. Unfortunately the subject itself
was too complex for me(!) but I have been assured that the content has
been checked for accuracy by a qualified teacher so there should be no
complaint in this area.
Many parents have
bemoaned the lack of educational software for the Atari and the little
that has been published is mainly for pre-school children. Writing
software for children of secondary education age is not easy but the
Softswot series provides a good start in this neglected area.
