Grade 4 Students and Technology

Students in Grade 4 begin to work on formal reports and essays

Formal editing is stressed.

After final writing is developed students publish and format their work,

adding voice, pictures, and sound. Keyboarding continues to be emphasized.

The following is a HyperStudio presentation and description of the process.

	This is the title page from ìParker and Pennyî story recreated in HyperStudio.
	The original drawings for this creative story were imported by the student into HyperStudio and "painted."
The student started this HyperStudio stack by writing her story, editing the drafts and preparing a final copy.
After writing the story, the student had to divide her story (a process called storyboarding) create illustrations for each story board and then re-create or synthesize the project in HyperStudio.
