Materials and Apparatus
The project will concentrate on the use of the software
– HyperStudio.
The students will use the hyperstudio software via the the
Smartboard in the classroom, as only the teacher’s laptop has the
HyperStudio Player. Intermitently, they would touch the screen to
answer some questions during the lesson unit. The students are
familiar with the use of this
software, as well as the
smartboard.
