Crocodile Clips
Simple Simulation Software
Crocodile ICT teaches programming using dance
10 January 2005
Crocodile Clips launches two new products at the BETT 2005 exhibition in London.
Crocodile ICT v501 is the first full version of the innovative tool for teaching computer programming, already found in 1 in 3 Australian secondary schools. It includes two 3D human characters, a girl and a boy. Each character has many different actions, such as dance steps, walking, turning and clapping, which can be programmed by students. It teaches valuable and complex programming concepts through these simple, recognisable actions.
Crocodile Chemistry, the virtual chemistry laboratory, has received a major upgrade - including a first Mac OS X version. The simulation engine has been completely re-written giving improved graphics, a better user interface, new tools and chemicals, and more powerful presentation and graphing tools. The software is already recommended by educationalists and governments worldwide, and last year NGfL Scotland licensed it for all Scottish state secondary schools.
Crocodile Clips will also be showcasing real-PCB, the new PCB design package, together with the acclaimed Crocodile Technology electronics simulator to which it links. Both were launched at the IEE's Savoy Place in October last year.
