LCSI MicroWorlds EX

How can one piece of software do so much?

• MicroWorlds EX is not a tool, but rather a collection of tools assembled to provide the means you need to do all the types of explorations you can imagine. By tools, we don’t mean just gizmos and gadgets (although there are definitely some of those in MicroWorlds EX) we’re referring to a language that encourages children to talk about:
• their ideas
• their questions
• their strategies for finding answers and a deeper understanding.

• science simulations
• mathematical explorations
• interactive multimedia stories
• anything you can imagine

• New interactive objects make it easy to create cool interactive projects such as surveys, quizzes and interactive presentations.
• These objects include drop down menus, check boxes and radio button sets that they can add to their projects.
• Dialog box editor generates professional looking dialog boxes.

• Traveling Smart Turtles that carry their belongings and knowledge in their own private backpacks. Therefore each turtle can be defined to have its own State, Procedures, Rules, Shapes, Notes & Audio enabling it to be saved independently and easily shared with other students.
• The private belongings and knowledge paradigm fosters the building block and constructivist approach of MicroWorlds EX.
• "Traveling Smart Turtles are easier to share (via Intranet or Internet) between projects and between students. Makes it easier to build collaborative projects.

• Compatible with Microsoft products (Windows version only)

• Drag and drop

• Windows

• Macintosh
