Gamco Software: Spelling Moves Beyond Reading, Memorizing to Pattern Recognition
mary | 22 February, 2007 08:00
Recent educational research suggests that the traditional method of teaching spelling through reading and note memorization may not be the best approach. Rather, teaching students to recognize letter and word patterns empowers them to be independent readers.
Gamco Software, published by Siboney Learning Group, met this change in spelling education with its latest program, Spelling Buzz. Students compete against each other or against Buzz the Bee in several spelling bee activities, earning points for spelling correctly. This flexible software program allows students to set the pace from easy to challenging, while teachers can import their own words or use the lessons provided.
Students in kindergarten through 6th grade encounter words commonly found in basal series used by schools. Each lesson contains 10 words that share a letter or sound pattern or that relate to a subject area like science. Students learn to manipulate words and gain experience in components of words, such as roots, prefixes, and suffixes, as well as spelling patterns, such as word families.
Spelling Buzz academic software discounts are available through CCV Software.

Harmonic Vision's Music Ace Maestro Named Notable Software by Association for Library Service to Children
mary | 22 February, 2007 07:08
When announcing the 2007 honorees, ALSC described Music Ace Maestro as, “This easy-to use music theory software gives students the ability to learn independently and at their own pace while having fun with a new game for each lesson. Skills are logically scaffolded and will suit the novice or those looking for a refresher equally well. Combining the 48 lessons from Music Ace and Music Ace 2, Maestro includes new student assessment and curriculum management tools for teachers as well as Music Doodle Pad, a program that allows students to
compose and hear their own music. This entertaining and educational software will be one that students choose to return to whether it’s assigned or not!”
Music Ace Maestro was the only ‘Music and Arts’ software recognized.
In addition to the ALSC Notable Computer Software for Children honor, Music Ace Maestro has received Technology & Learning’s 2006 Award of Excellence and a ComputED Eddie Award. (More)
