This is the software publishers description:

Ask Oscar is the ideal application to help develop children's skills in using a branching database. The application allows children to create branching trees containing either pictures, text or both.

This classroom tool uniquely allows you to create, sort, edit and view the tree all in one single display. Children can visually see the tree growing as they enter their questions and perform sorts.

Features

Powerful Printing options

Options allow trees to be tiled across many pages to create a large wall display, or printed continuously* as a banner.

Items can be printed separately from the tree, creating an additional resource that can be used away from the computer

* Banner printing requires a printer which supports this feature.

Educational

Although designed to meet the needs of the branching database and decision tree element of the National Curriculum (Key Stage 2 in England and Wales), Ask Oscar is also ideal for use at KS 1 and KS 3 where a branching database/decision tree can be used to re-enforce work on decision making, sorting, and identification.
