Screen Turtle 2

Maths & Numeracy

A proven and friendly 'Logo' environment for today's classrooms.


True ‘Logos’ can be much too difficult and a bit of a mystery, so we designed ScreenTurtle 2 to address this. The program is quick to learn, yet still offers all the Logo features needed in most classrooms.

Pupils are not expected to learn a whole new language as ordinary English words and abbreviations are used, e.g. FORWARD, FD and AHEAD all do the same.

Words & Music

Music

Music writing software


Until now, most music software has been black and white, and required budding musicians to manipulate fiddly notation or to sequence someone else's musical phrases. And if, like some pop stars, they preferred to start with lyrics, they couldn't.

Well now they can. Although learners can still edit notation on a stave if they wish, Words & Music also provides colourful 'paper strips' which they can slide up and down to change pitch, and stretch, shrink, split and join to make differen... Arrow Read full description of Words & Music
