Abstract
Abstract As computers become more common in geography classrooms, teachers should consider the use of authoring systems such as HyperCard to teach geography. Its ease of use and capability to link visual, verbal, and auditory information in a nonsequential manner that mimics human thought make it very useful. Both teacher- and student-authored stacks can improve geographic literacy, sharpen research skills, motivate and stimulate students, and address topics ignored by commercial software. Positive reinforcement, remediation loops, animation, sound, and links to CD-ROMs and laserdiscs can all be used to produce custom-designed geography programs, or “stacks.”
