Guide - SUMS Software on the ASUS eeePC / RM Minibook
There are two software packages available from SUMS for the ASUS eeePC/RM Minibook. This guide covers the installation of both.
1.1 SUMS Maths. This is an extensive set of curriculum based maths games. They are proven to be particularly powerful when installed to student devices such as PDAs, PSPs, and now this powerful yet inexpensive laptop. Use them both in class and for informal learning - for example, on the playground wall at breaktime, or on the bus on the way home.
1.2 SUMS Phonics. This is software that supports the synthetic phonics approach recommended by the government’s Letters and Sounds scheme. It provides support for teachers and related pupil games. A PC version is also available. This means that pupils, with parental support, can practise at home what they saw on the whiteboard in class earlier in the day.
SUMS software is designed to be small in file size, so can safely be installed to the eeePC/Minibook’s local memory. It then runs in the inbuilt Firefox browser. Note that there is no need to download plugins or to do any other preparatory work. SUMS runs on the eeePC/Minibook ‘out of the box’.
