Heartsoft's Thinkology Garners 5 Star Review From Top Educational Software Journal TULSA, Okla., Dec. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Heartsoft (OTC Bulletin Board: HTSF - news) announced that it has earned a perfect five star review of its new critical thinking skills software product, Thinkology in the November/December issue of MultiMedia Schools, one of the most respected educational software trade journals in the country. Thinkology, Heartsoft's latest multiple CD-ROM software prodigy, which teaches K-3 students to think clearly, accurately and logically, was evaluated in four pivotal categories: Ease of installation, Content & Features, Ease- of-Use, and Product Support. In each of these categories, a variety of randomly selected educational consultants and elementary students evaluated the first volume of the Thinkology series, Clarity. The product swept all categories with straight A's. MultiMedia Schools' reviewer, Susan W. Hixson, gave the following encouragement to readers in her recommendation. ''Thinkology is a sound educational program that gives students the opportunity to work independently as they learn to think and speak clearly ... I highly recommend this product to reinforce the teaching of critical thinking in oral and written work ... outstanding, a MUST buy!'' Furthermore, in the important Content/Features section, Hixson quoted, ''Focusing on critical thinking skills will help students in many areas, including reading comprehension as well as writing proficiency.'' She also noted that the ''Teacher's manual is a rich resource that includes extensive suggestions for curriculum integration.'' She also commented that, ''the class of students who played with the software ... were fascinated with the cartoon character animations and greatly enjoyed the cheery background music and clever animations in each activity. When interviewed, they easily explained the purpose of the program and expressed an eagerness to play it again.'' ''This is a wonderful accolade for Thinkology, and Heartsoft,'' said CEO, Benjamin P. Shell. ''We are delighted that our new break-through product stood up to the test of both educators and students. We are thrilled with the many school districts across the country who have and are adopting the product for use throughout their district.''
