Teddy Bear Tools

Teddy Bear Tools enables exploration of key functions, such as, typing, control and creating stamps. The program allows learners to learn at their own pace, whilst also enjoying the colourful and fun activities that the four tools offer.

The lovable Big Ted and Little Ted introduce your early learners to the creative and absorbing world of computer tools. Teddy Bear Tools uses a bright, engaging interface with jolly, colourful graphics and is differentiated at two levels. The content of Little Ted's level is clearly presented and suitable for 3-4 year olds. Big Ted's level is more challenging and starts to take on the look of more traditional computer tools. Work can be saved to a picture gallery and then viewed via a slide show, nurturing a sense of pride and promoting self-esteem. In addition, this program is perfect for building confidence as there are no right or wrong answers - everyone can succeed in expressing their ideas.
