Abstract
The increased use of computers in schools has brought about new possibilities and new problems for teachers. Access to greater amounts of information, much of it electronically published, means that it is important for teachers to develop students’ literacy skills. The skills of defining, locating, selecting, organizing and presenting information creatively can be facilitated by a range of presentation software. Various software packages have different capabilities which allow students to incorporate different media for expressing their understandings of the relationships between parts of the concepts they are exploring. As part of a unit of work investigating software for the curriculum, students at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) create a slideshow in KidPix to explore how this presentation software can be used to enhance student information processing skills in the elementary classroom. During this time they deconstruct slideshows created by primary students, and then correspond with them by e-mail, outlining their creation of a similar slideshow. The culmination of this interaction is the sending of the tertiary students’ slideshows to the elementary students.
