Introducing Frames 4
It was with great excitement that OSAPAC announced the licensing of Frames 4 in response to licensing calls this year. The software was specifically licensed to target the area of multimedia authoring in Grades 4 through 8.

To get a sense of the excitement and potential for the use of this software, just take a look at the exporting options.

You'll see some pretty contemporary application. Create a podcast? Create a document for the web? A presentation? A Flash file? An animated GIF file? This has some really nice potential to it.

The authoring environment isn't all that intimidating either. Everything is nicely accessible and makes a great deal of sense upon first inspection.

Even shrunk to fit into this newletter, you'll see an authoring area, room to create and explore a timeline, a number of options and a library.

The editing tools appear at the top of the screen with nicely created icons to make understanding each of the options easy for young editors.

And, of course, Beauregard the wonder dog make the stage, front and centre. It's times like this that I wish that we had trained him to do more than one trick.

Frames 4 is going to be an exciting title for the classroom with huge potential. I can't wait to introduce it to the system and see the great things our students can produce.
