BusinessWeek has singled out Curriculum Pathways for leveraging "PC technology to truly benefit students" and for providing "resources and tools tied to curriculum and state standards." Extolling SAS inSchool as a model of excellence, Technology & You columnist Stephen H. Wildstrom laments that few companies seem willing or able to emulate that model.
"With all the pressure to achieve that students must endure, parents jump at technology that claims to help kids do better in school," Wildstrom says. "Unfortunately, too much educational software seems designed to play on a public sense that any technology is good for students, and more must be better."
Wildstrom's praise for SAS inSchool appears under the headline, "Do Your Homework, Microsoft" (July 28), a critique of that company's recently released Student 2006, which the author says, "fails to maximize PC technology to help kids learn."
