Diorama Designer
"Diorama Designer adds a technology twist to a learning activity that has been a popular teaching tool for many years... I was impressed by the many suggestions for enhancing lessons with the use of dioramas and would encourage teachers to try this program to add a new approach to an old favorite - the diorama. Highly recommended."

Essential Tools for Teachers

Math Mysteries
"Teachers, take note of this program! There's never been a better way to give kids practice with solving word problems - we predict students will actually want to solve the ones embedded in this mystery."
- Children's Software Revue

"Math Mysteries: Whole Numbers is an innovative approach to guiding students as they learn to analyze word problems and choose the data necessary for finding a solution. From the first video that sets the stage for characters to present a problem to the last word problem solution, this program puts math in a real-world environment."

PowerPoint Workshop for Teachers
"This text is an excellent resource for teachers and students. The excellent introduction includes directions for both the Macintosh and PC and has diagrams and text to help explain each step.

Reading for Meaning
"Reading for Meaning is a fresh way to present software for use in a classroom. The authors of Reading for Meaning have put together a nice selection of fiction and non-fiction material for students to read and analyze. Since there are graphic organizers used with each lesson, students become comfortable with filling in their ideas and organizing their thoughts. I do highly recommend Reading for Meaning for use in the intermediate grades. Outstanding!"

Science Seekers: Hidden in Rocks
"This is a really fun and informative program to use in the classroom. Students work cooperatively, reading, discussing questions and answers, and eliminating unlikely sites. The software is easy to use; it can be used practically out of the box... more importantly, however, students are working together to learn about geology. Science Seekers: Hidden in Rocks definitely... rocks!"

Tessellation Exploration
"Tessellation Exploration meets NCTM Standards and is an outstanding tool for prediction and description of tessellations' slides, flips, and turns; identification, comparison and analysis of shapes attributes; and solving problems using geometric and spatial reasoning. Two tessellations up to Tom Snyder Productions for this wonderful teaching tool which truly is fun to use!"
