Hi,
I'm currently on the hunt for an old, unpreserved educational game called Elf Tales. It's an old 90s educational game I recall from my childhood and I was just wondering if some primary teacher somewhere had it buried at the back of s cupboard. If anyone can find a copy I would be more than happy to pay you for it!
Just a tip, even as a homeschool you can save a lot of money on educational software. For example an Adobe creative cloud subscription that gives access to all Adobe apps costs like $60 a month but a student can get it for $20/mo that's a $400/yr savings because of the student discount. Taking advantage of student discounts can quickly add up to thousands of dollars of savings a year. One of my kids is interested in Graphic design so they use Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop a lot and I myself find the Acrobat useful since it lets me edit PDFs I also use it to make worksheets for them.
Anyway even though its a homeschool they ARE a student so always check before paying full price if the software or whatever you are purchasing offers a student discount. Now the only tricky part is that in some cases (such as the Adobe example I listed) it requires verification involving a student ID or school email address. I use this homeschool program that provides my kids with both. They will usually verify by sending a link to the school email address.
So hope this helps and as I said never pay full price for anything before checking if there's a student discount available!
Platform(s): PC
Genre: Educational
Estimated year of release: 1990s
Graphics/art style: Realistic in the main menu. As I recall, most of those graphics were probably scanned for photographs. Probably some
Notable characters: None I can remember.
Notable gameplay mechanics: The only actual game I remember was one where a voice would read a word out loud and then you'd try to spell it.
Other details: I'm like 90% sure the main menu was a big tree that you could scroll up and down with the various features accessible through buttons in the trunk/branches. Software had full motion videos you could watch. Software also had an image editor similar to paint, with "stamps" you could place in the image (I remember one being a ) and a button to "zoom in" on the center of the image (which make a rather disquieting moaning sound).
There are varieties of tools to create national assessments for K-12 which measures students’ skills and knowledge as they complete their general education and move to higher education. Assessing exams is no more a hassle with offline exam solution-ACU. It allows students to take exams even if the internet connection is not available. The data is automatically saved and processed by teachers when the connection is available. The ACU instance for educational institutions has a clone backup that can be used in urgent technical, electricity, or network issues. Connect with us if you are interested in using ACU and K12 educational assessment software to make assessments easier in schools and colleges.

I'm donating a couple of computers to an elementary school in El Salvador and Mexico. I was hoping to also pack them with useful educational software that the kids can utilize (typing games, English learning games, match games, etc.) Anyone have good recommendations for this? I'm anticipating that the place won't have internet connection, so I want to make sure they can use them without an internet connection.
Hello there, i’m looking for educational software within some themes, any help is gladly appreciated!
-mechanics -electricity -health/medecine etc -physics/math
Anything that doesn’t fit into one of these genres is interesting aswell! Thank you for any help!
So I read earlier that CS has about 4 mil shares registered. Let's assume that USA Apes are moving 10% of their shares over. Easy math says that's 40 million shares just Gemerican Apes alone.
We don't own the float, we own XXX the float!
Not financial advise.
Continue to buy & HODL!!
Howdy all, thought I'd ask again! It's been three months since my last post...

There were different modes; a garden guidebook, a wildlife/flora identification guide, and (of course!) the salmon minigame. The salmon minigame MIGHT have been the ported 'Salmon Odyessey' mentioned in another thread, but given no evidence of that game seems to exist, it's impossible to say one way or the other... I don't think it was, given the presence of other functions within the software.
Have at it, any help appreciated, and good luck!
Long term goal: Get PPL
Short term goal: Get a head start by simming
Based in the UK, have no in person or flight experience at all and I want to get my PPL at some point in the future but at this point in time it's not viable. So I want to get a head start and learn as much as I can before I actually go fly a plane.
I would appreciate any and all help with recommendations for hardware, software and educational resources in order to learn how to fly a plane by simming. I know you can't replicate the real thing but this is the situation i'm in and it won't change for long enough to go to the effort of doing all of this.
Hardware:
I'm running a decent gaming rig (7700k + GTX1080) so I don't imagine i'll have any major issues with performance? I have 4, 24" monitors. I plan to use 3 wrapped around for the cockpit and have 1 spare for whatever if needed.
The plane i'm trying to replicate is a Cessna 172.
I am currently waiting on delivery of a Honeycomb yoke and the Logitech rudder pedals. From my research, this seems to be a fair start. My question regarding hardware is what other bits of equipment would be necessary to develop the muscle memory? The other things which seem important are throttle and a trim wheel (and possibly flaps). It seems almost impossible to find anything that is still in production or in stock at the moment. Whatever is around seems to be in the US which means i'd need to import it. I've seen recommendations for the desktop aviator cessna style TPM however it's OOS. The other one which seems a better option is this which also has a trim wheel. It doesn't replicate the actual flaps from a 172 but this seems to be a good price for what you get?
Would I need a radio panel, switch panel etc.? Or can I get away with just using my mouse/keyboard for those bits? I'd like to try make the experience as authentic as possible without spending too much money.
Software:
As i'm trying to replicate this as close to life as possible, i'm only interested in X Plane 11 as it seems to have the most realistic physics. Is there anything else anyone would recommend? Programmes, apps etc. to use alongside or within X Plane 11? I don't have any tablets, just a phone, laptop and desktop.
Educational Resources:
What books or documents should I get in order to help to actuall
... keep reading on reddit ➡I am trying to find the title of a computer game I use to play after school. The game was found in the school's library, so it might be an educational software company/title. The plot of the game was as follows: You are in a tree house that you built. The tree house is in your neighbor's tree. One day, he tells you that he's going to cut down the tree to make room for a garden. This upsets you and you run and hide in your tree house. Suddenly, you start shrinking and end up in some faerry tale land where you are tasked with collecting a bunch of "morals" from Aesop's Faebles. You get the morals by bringing a pot of honey to Mrs. Bear (who is an actual bear) so she can bake a cake or something. She gives you the morals and you then head off to a giant castle where you search for the faebles. Once you find a faeble, you have to connect it to the correct moral. There is also an evil wizard who wants to stop you. He has cursed one room in the castle. If you go in it, you'll be trapped forever. Once you collect all of the faebles and connected them to the right morals, you bring them back to the start. If you get everything right, you are returned to your normal size and confronted by your neighbor, again. This time, if you've paid attention to the morals, you get the option to bargain with the neighbor and save your tree house by offering to help him plant his garden if he chooses a new location. Any ideas what the name of this game is?

Hello, I've just bought a used Alphasmart Neo 2: it works, it's in good condition BUT it has educational software on it and I can't seem to access the simple writing-to-file that I thought would load up as soon as I pressed the on button. How do I clear the educational software? Any help or advice would be very greatly appreciated. I am desperately keen to start writing on it. Thank you.
Hello!
So, I just took over the task of creating schedules for a theatre school with about 30 students in 3 years and about 8 teachers.
The schedules are fixed for the individual students.
I need variables for teacher availability per weekday, break times, and courses needing to be in specific rooms / at specific times.
Just wondering if there's a software solution that could make my life easier, this is my first time creating timetables.
Preferably open source / freeware but I think I could manage to get a small budget as well.
Thank you!
Every so often I remember this…. game?? software?? my grandparents had on their PC and try but fail in googling it to find the name. I think it was specifically about British seashore, but could be wrong.
Platform: Windows PC (exact OS…. Either 98, 2000 or ME)
Genre: Educational/virtual encyclopaedia (no I don’t think it was by Dorling Kindersley)
Estimated Year of Release: at least 1995, but could be earlier. No later than 2001 for sure— most likely 2000 is the cut-off but leaving room for error.
Graphics/Art Style: hazy memories on if it was realistic watercolour style (or some other illustration) all the way through or if it was actual photos, or a mix?
Notable Characters: no characters iirc, but both the grey seal and common seal were featured. Sandhoppers. Sea Stars. Sea Holly. other flora and fauna of different environments— I remember estuary was one.
Notable Gameplay Mechanics: point-and-click on various animals and plants to bring up a codex on them. Quizzes, and also an identification quiz to help you figure out something you saw IRL. There may have been more but i forget.
Other Details: the main menu of the game was set in what I think was an old lighthouse, in a fancy office (like you would imagine an old retired sea captain would have) where clicking on a book might open the encyclopaedia or clicking the map might take you outside (the book definitely was there, idk if the map was, that was just an example)
It may not strictly count as a game so I hope this is allowed, and I hope it jogs the memory of someone out there. Thanks for any help you can give me!
