Tracie expressed a certain dismay at what this digital perfection was doing to the art. I mean, there's nothing left to the artist. This is meant to be done with human hands, not by a machine. Classroom teachers also create visually rich lessons, electronic storybooks, on-line interactive tests, and educational games using authoring tools such as Hypercard. Hyperstudio, KidPix Studio, Storybook Weaver, and others.
Students can use the same tools to create electronic reports, presentations, and portfolios.
The newer tools let you add sound, animations, and video. Some tools allow you to create sound recordings and animation on the fly with easy to use tools and just paste them into their multimedia productions. The screen on the bottom right is from Pinky the Dragon, a story often told to Elaine Linscott as a child. Elaine is a classroom teacher who used HyperStudio to create this talking storybook. The story, which was her father's own creation, is now beautifully illustrated and preserved in electronic format.
