Power tools for Students

4 power tools for students
Your kids can do a great job on even the toughest school projects with just a computer running the Windows operating system and the right information resources. Research no longer requires a trip to the neighborhood library, because a whole world of information—and the tools to put it all together—are right at home on your family computer.


Here are four homework power tools that can turn your children's ho-hum project into A+ work:

Microsoft Math 3.0

Microsoft PowerPoint 2010

Microsoft OneNote 2010

Mine was made of bamboo and it is somewhere in storage.

You could tell the engineering students as we wore them on our side like a six gun.
