David,
Good points, but I disagree about PowerPoint being text based. I have some
excellent examples of extensive use of drawing as well as multimedia
presentations that my students have created in PowerPoint. I've converted a
sample to a web-based format so you can see that it has little text (it also
has animation, but you seem to lose the custom animations when you covert it to
a web-based format). While engaged in a unit on the Earth and after reading
"Everybody Needs a Rock", the students were to find a rock, describe where they
found, it's classification, shape, texture, color, and tell why it is their
favorite rock. http://web.utk.edu/~kdipietr/PowerPointSample/Angela.htm
Also once you save a PowerPoint as a presentation it can not be changed, only
viewed. BUT I will agree with you that HyperStudio handles passwording and
locking specific textboxes and graphics much better than PowerPoint.
Also, one can import graphics and add text as either paint-based or draw-based
in HyperStudio i.e. for graphics... Objects>Add a graphic object vs File
>Import Clip Art or for text.....using the Text tool from your tool box vs
Objects>Add a text Object.
Both are good tools and as I said, both get the job done!
