I would echo Bruce's comments about hyperstudio and hypercard. Or in my
case I use SuperCard. Hyperstudio can make stacks quickly of excellent
quality. But my guess is that as teachers become more comfortable with
making hyperstacks, more teachers will begin to look at hypercard to do
projects like slide shows that hyperstudio has limits to it.
