The
TES said:
"Geo-Quiz
Teacher
knows best" appears to be the motto of the Usable Software
Company. Its policy is to commission software programs direct from
practising teachers. As a result the products have a relevance and
practicality not always apparent in educational software. In particular
these two programs, which are intended for more able GCSE and A-level
students, have a refreshing simplicity.
(review
of Evolution of Industrial Location Theory)
Making
a similar claim is Geo Quiz, from the same team at King's College
School Wimbledon. This is the end-of-term dream program (and would
also make an ideal present for all the family!) since it contains
1,000 multiple choice questions of geographical fact.
"The
currency of Portugal is the . . ." might not sound the type
of question to improve the examination prospects of A-level candidates,
but hundreds of other questions on such topics as weather and climate,
soils and vegetation, economic activity and geographical skills
provide a great deal of help. The program is organised to provide
different levels of difficulty and styles of scoring (team games,
timed competitions etc). It's good fun and will assist in providing
the valuable fact base that underpins an understanding of geographical
concepts and skills.
Both
programs are PC-based and require Windows. They are easy to install.
Site/network
licences are also available from the Usable Software Company."
