PowerPad Toolkit 4 - New power for your PowerPad Teachers and parents who use PowerPads around the country are excited about the Toolkit 4 software package from Dunamis. The program allows teachers to create learning activities for their PowerPads and integrate the computer into curriculum. Their ideas and needs can be quickly "transformed" into PowerPad activities with no programming ability required. "Toolkit 4 has empowered teachers to create software that is designed to achieve the individualizededucationalobjectivesofeachstudent,"DunamisPresidentBenSatterfieldsaid. Now, PowerPad teachers can integrate animation, music, singing, printed text, speech and graphics in their computer activities. PowerPad users can create exciting activities that meet their specific needs and actually rival commercial PowerPad programs. Graphics can be imported from a variety of sources as well as pulling from a growing commercially available library. Several communication symbols libraries in Toolkit formats are due out this summer. "We believe this program places the computer at the teacher's disposal, as another teaching tool. The computer can now be an extension of the teacher's personality and creativity," Satterfield said. Toolkit 4 software includes three "quick start" programs, Set The Table, Knock-Knock Jokes, and BearJam Body Parts, that are ready for the teacher to use. These exciting programs allow for the individuality and sense of humor of the student to be expressed and are also part of a growing library of software created by Toolkit 4 that is available separately. PowerPad Toolkit 4.0 sells for $99.95 with upgrades from Toolkit version 2.2 being offered to end users directly for $30.00 plus shipping and handling. In June 1992, Dunamis will be offering a Developer's Package for retail sale that will allow teachers to create "self-booting" Toolkit 4 software for their students.
