A lively interview with HyperStudio's developer, Roger Wagner, sets the tone for this quick-paced, hands-on guide to the multifaceted software he created. Step-by-step instructions put you and your students only six minilessons away from a four-card multimedia production. Each lesson focuses on different skills. Choose colors, background, borders, text, and clip art and then add finishing touches with the Spell Checker, buttons, titles, and the Tools palette. Add sounds, scanned images, and credits, and suddenly you're an accomplished multimedia author. From there, sign on for the advanced tour of animation, digital cameras, laserdiscs, and video digitizers. Planning guidelines, suggestions for classroom applications, and teacher-and student-created sample stacks in many curriculum areas provide inspiration. A picture reference section for HyperStudio's clip art, an extensive index, and keyboard shortcuts save time. Detailed coverage of HyperStudio 3.0 for Macintosh (software not included).
