HyperStudio
Description
Use one program for all your media-centric projects. Whether your focus is writing, drawing, painting, making animations or movies, HyperStudio allows you to create, edit, import, and fuse these elements into impressive projects that can be shared in all the ways you expect: Web, podcasts, YouTube, and so on.
Create projects with game-like interactivity, Arduino control, one-click links to Google Earth and Maps, movies with subtitles and masks, layer animations and multiple movies with different transparencies, and even green-screen videos.
With HyperStudio's intuitive drag-and-drop environment, automatic attributions for items brought in from the Web, iLife integration, and collaborative possibilities using DropBox, HyperStudio offers more project style options than any other creative authoring program.

Reviews
There are two ways for students to tell their stories. The most common is to respond to what someone else is expecting. A teacher wants the student to demonstrate his or her knowledge of the eight planets circling our sun. It is a test.
The second is for the student to understand the concept of "planets." The student may talk about the definition of the word as it applies to space, and why Pluto lost its membership. The student may talk about Planet Earth and its formation as assumed through geological evidence. The student may talk about how fiction writers have created new intelligent species and complex cultures on other planets that may or may not mirror our own. The student may… but you get the drift. The teacher opened a door.
HyperStudio is a way for students to tell their stories.
For many years HyperStudio was the industry standard for creating interactive, non-linier multimedia projects. Many of us were sad when it faded away. Well, our patience has paid off because it is back and better than ever. It can be used for any subject or level. Software Mackiev now has the rights to the program and they recruited Roger Wagner, the original creator of HS, to work with developers to re-invent HyperStudio for 21st century learners. It is one program that promotes all of the recommended skills, tools and best practices of the Partnership for 21st Century Learning. As a teacher, the only problem I have with HyperStudio is getting my students to "save & quit"!
