For those of you who don’t know the program - Hyperstudio uses a GUI format to create “stacks” of information.  These can be in graphic, text, video or hyperlinked form.  Its power comes from its ease of use and the way children can manipulate these elements in a graphical way (they can see what they are doing as they do it) to create documents.  As an educator I am interested in programs that are open end so what is produced is not controlled by the program and that are easy to use so the children don’t have to spend all there time learning the programme rather they use it a tool to communicate what they have learned in a powerful way. 

 

Hyperstudio has similarities to Powerpoint but is much more flexible and less rigid in its structure and presentation format.  It leads on to creating hypertext linked documents.  A really good graphical WYSISYG HTML editor would run rings around it provided it was easy to use.
