MECS Software Programs
© 2001 Montessori Educational Computer Systems (MECS)
MECS offers 26 Montessori-based computer programs, designed for students aged 2 1/2 to 12 years. The programs closely follow the Montessori methodology and materials, for instance, the math programs use the Golden Beads to teach concepts like multiplication. Instruction is sequential and the practice afforded is solid. Content covers reading, spelling, math facts, time, solar system, US and world geography and more. On the downside, the programming and graphics are amateurish. The programs are also expensive. Still, if the budget allows, this is an accurate and potentially effective extension of the Montessori curriculum.
