IntelliTools Classroom Suite
LR1455  

The tools incorporate multimedia modeling, animation, and auditory support to assist students with challenging concepts. They take advantage of the infinite patience of the computer to provide as much time and practice as each student needs.

IntelliTools Classroom Suite supports the different ways students become engaged and motivated, whether through speech feedback, larger text, or the use of color. Students also benefit from instant natural feedback, and teachers can keep track of student progress.

IntelliTools Classroom Suite brings together into a cross-platform, network-ready integrated suite our three award-winning classroom tools:

• IntelliPics Studio 3®- a multimedia presentation tool
• IntelliMathics 3®- a virtual math manipulatives tool
• IntelliTalk 3®- a talking word processor and writing tool

You'll love these easy-to-use, cross-curricular authoring and presentation tools. And if you know our tools, you'll be delighted by their now integrated functionality and network compatibility!

Classroom Applications
PreK-8 teachers can now give students cross-curricular classroom activities to practice and track student responses using either the provided sample activities or creating their own specific standards-aligned activities with the Tools' handy templates. Classroom Suite provides the tools to help you achieve your classroom goals, with:

• Curriculum-Based Activities
• Answer Tracking and Assessment
• Creativity and Self-Expression

Curriculum-Based Activities
Teachers can assign a series of activities for students. A sampling of 30 activities in four grade ranges in reading, writing, math, social studies, and science come with Classroom Suite.
For example, a first-grade teacher can assign a phonics activity for students to practice, and then assign a related writing activity aligned to the decoding skills the students have just explored.

Answer Tracking and Assessment
Teachers can track students' activity responses and quiz answers, and then record, report, and print student records for student assessment. Program files as well as student records and preferences can be stored on a network server.

• A seventh-grade science teacher can have students label parts of a cell using IntelliPics Studio 3, then print their diagrams, and/or have their scores available for a parent-teacher conference.

Network versions allow you and your administrators easy access to student assessment details over the network. You'll no longer have to collect data from individual computers. Now it's centralized!

Classroom Suite tracks each student's performance in his or her own private portfolio, records student responses, compares them to expected answers, and makes their scoring results available in both detailed and summary reports.

Both students and teachers benefit from this powerful capability. Students can check answers as they work, getting immediate feedback on their written work, math problem, or multimedia activity. Teachers can make this answer-checking option available for practice and later remove it for testing. Teachers can quickly access student work and view records of their progress. They can also view and print reports of student work without having to open individual documents.

Universal Access
The concept of Universal Design—that all students, regardless of physical and learning differences, have access to our products—has been a long-standing philosophy that guides IntelliTools' software and hardware innovations. Our programming environments enable our software to feature speech output, single-switch scanning, and automatic sending of IntelliKeys overlays, in addition to access by a standard keyboard, mouse or touch-screen. Our products also meet the accessibility requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.
