Auntie's Idea Lab


Oh... wait until you see what we have planned for these pages!

 Right now... My PLAN is to use this space to leave notes about things I am working on...

or trying to work OUT!

  


HyperDuino

Just when I thought I was past wanting to learn anything new...

Roger Wagner (of HyperStudio) asked me to take a look at a new project he was working on... HyperDuino.

Now I am totally excited about this! My first experimental project became The Little Museum.

I even bought the domain "thelittlemuseum.net" after seeing the potential for what HyperDuino could do!

Now there I have several projects going and some ideas for a book or series of tiny eBooks to help you get started.

Now with HyperDuino for Chrome... wait until you see what can be done!

Several people asked about the sample book I made for Roger Wagner... this has led to the HyperDuino Presentation Book KIT.

The kit will show you how to make your own presentation book and learn how to make books with your students.

HyperStudio

I have been using HyperStudio since version ONE! 

I wrote several books about it, did workshops and talks, taught people how to use it to do Clay Animation, altered photos (everyone thought I was using Photoshop!), made holiday cards... really, really used it (and continue to use it)!!! The program is intuitive and once you get started using it you forget that sometimes a newbie needs some help... Auntie is here for you.

Packing some virtual choco-chip cookies and a LOT of patience...

we will get you to LOVE working with HyperStudio.

Book Creator

We have just been named "Ambassadors" for the Book Creator iPad app!  

I illustrated my iBook "I do NOT want to go to SLEEP!" using HyperStudio.

 The Book Creator app allowed me to add the HyperStudio images and an iMovie (made with HyperStudio animations)

and transform it all into an ePub book that is available on the iBookstore!

 

I plan to do some kind of an online "workshop" soon to show you

how to incorporate the Book Creator app into your lessons. For now... get the app!

Auntie KNOWS you will LOVE it!
