Subject: ELECTRON IN EDUCATION
Mail Ref.: EUG #01

The Electron is a great computer and I use mine a lot. I like to play games on it but not all the time. Could you have a page in your magazine that tells you what programs can help you with schoolwork like in Let's Compute?

Paul, aged 11

Has anybody seen Let's Compute of late? I've heard that publication has been suspended... Anyway, sorry Paul, back to your letter. 'Proper' magazines like Let's Compute and The Micro User have people called Educational Advisors who understand what is being taught in schools these days and can tell the publishers if a program is helpful or not. EUG hasn't got an advisor so we might tell you the wrong things. Some programs could still be used for schoolwork though, like the CONVERTER program in this issue.

If you are having trouble with your schoolwork, try not to worry. Have a chat with your parents or tell a teacher at school.
