Microsoft Student with Encarta Premium 2009 is full of tools that cater to the needs of those who may or may not attend school. Those who are of adult age, teenage, or even those of the K-12 age-range may use it.
It components include:
· Homework- this consists of Math Tools, Foreign Language Tools as well as Search Tools. Each of these tools is further subdivided into other categories that are designed to help students complete their assignments, as well as ensuring that they understand the concepts behind them.
· Projects- this consists of a variety of tools that help students to write reports, create charts and graphs as well as other presentations that become necessary during the course of the semester. They contain templates, tutorials and other resources to prepare those praiseworthy assignments.
· Discover & Learn- firstly, Explore Encarta by Subject includes a variety of topics that allow for researching a wide range of subjects such as History and Science & Nature. Secondly, it sports a college and career application that helps the student choose a college, career and provides a way to continue one’s education online. Its last component provides a fun element to learning, and it covers a large array of topics as well.
· Encarta Kids- while the above elements are solely focused on the “old people”, this component is wholly devoted to the children. Its purpose is to make learning as enjoyable as possible for they who would later shape the world.
