I tried out Web Workshop, and in about 10 minutes I had designed and saved a Web page. I turned on my modem and opened my new Web page with Netscape Navigator 2.0. I was impressed. I admit, however, that I have some qualms about letting every kid in the world design his or her own Web page, since the Internet doesn't have enough bandwidth as it is. But I guess kids have as much right to the Web as anyone else.
Children explore hats, shoes, and houses and thus peoples of the world.
What impressed me about both Rainbow and PostCards is how subtly they increase the multicultural awareness of children without their even knowing it. In short, these programs are fetching. There were dozens of other great new power tools at FETC, but my space here is running out. May. If you have a favorite or a least-favorite word processor for kids, let me know.
