Subject: Looking for Multimedia app other than KidPix etc
Hi to all---
I am looking for a new and more robust/ less limiting
multimedia program for my lower school kids to use to write and
illustrate---
Something that allows the child to be VERY creative and at the same time
work VERY independently---
I have been using Kid Pix 4 (which as you know does not always work
well---GRRR!!!)
and of course the usual PowerPoint---
Also I have used PhotoStory with my upper primary grades
(and have been able to
get several digital cameras/ teach some digital photography---
YAHOO!---kids LOVE taking pictures!!!---)
which has given greater opportunity for sound recording
and less focus on text
Perhaps my biggest obstacle is when we created entire class projects we must
save to the network
which is time comsuming and VERY cumbersome for the younger set---
NONE of the programs are able to default to saving to the network---
We are PC only which rules out Mac apps
So, hat are other folks in the primary/upper primary level using/doing???
Thanks.
