Some of the new software we will be using this year includes: 3-D Home and Landscaping Design - With this software, students can model the home of their dreams from the ground floor and up including an outdoor deck, water features, and landscape. Family Tree Maker - This package lets us reseach, organize, and display our family history. Digital DJ - We sound like professionals with this awesome program. Students can lay down tracks and "loops" to create their own music incorporating a rhythm, bass, percussion, and melody. Adobe Illustrator - We will be using the same tools as people in the publication industry. HyperStudio - An alternative to PowerPoint, this program teaches the younger students how to create pages and add navigation links. Cosmic Blobs - Do everything you would do with a pice of clay without the mess. We can mold, color, and even animate these digital creations.
