Procedures
  We met with Mrs. Thompson to discuss the project and to decide what she would do and have her class do, and what we would do.

We decided that she would have her class write stories about themselves and that we would take a picture of each of the students with our digital camera to put on their HyperStudio portfolio.

The students wrote their stories and saved them on disks and we took these disks, matched the picture of each student with their correct story and loaded it into the HyperStudio program.

After all is done, we will have the children (Mrs. Thompson's first grade class) come over to this school (the middle school), and we will present their HyperStudio portfolios to them in our computer lab.
