I do hope in the next version they include a woman Professor. Also, I would like to see an easier way of navigating to the explanation of the various parts located in the parts bin. I was able to dig in to the online help to find it, however it was not readily accessible as I would like to see it. It would great to be able to click on parts while they are in the bin and get an explanation of what they do. This program would be excellent in the classroom.
Prediction is a skill taught usually in science and reading lessons.
This important skill is easily incorporated in to this program by using the green flag button. Students can work on a puzzle by putting different parts on the screen and then be asked different prediction questions about where the object will go as a result of the placement of various parts. The teacher could use these questions in small groups with her prompting or in cooperative groups of two or three. After the students have answered the questions they can click the green flag on the tool bar and see if they were correct. If they were incorrect they may go back and try again.
