Exploring World Religions

Grades 5-10, Win/Mac

This is a rare and exciting opportunity for students to learn about the beliefs and customs that shape the lives of people in America and across the globe. Students hear personal perspectives from children representing each religion. Six major religions; Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Sikhism are explored through photo tours, text, and narration. A simple and attractive interface offers keys into the places, holy writings, special days, people, and beliefs of each religion. The tool chest contains links to the menu, the index, and a notebook in which students can compose thoughts and observations about what they are learning. When difficult words are encountered in the text, simply highlighting them produces a quick definition. Individual learners or teams can challenge their new knowledge with a multiple-choice quiz. Website links and printable support material make this software a complete educational package for any Social Studies curriculum.
