Hi. I missed the first part of this, but don't mislead anyone to think
Tutor-tech is just a drawing program! It is quite a fine and complete
hypermedia authoring system for the IIE and quite wonderful for that machine!

Everyone,
	Louis already knows  all  about this, but I never turn down a chance to talk
about the wonders of Tutor-Tech.  

	Never did I intend to mislead anyone about the power, speed and beauty of
Tutor-Tech.  I referred to it being a drawing program because that is how
Tutor-Tech stores information, as coordinate instructions, as opposed to a
paint program saving images.  Tutor-Tech DOES allow HiRES and DHR images from
many paint programs to be imported into it's stacks however.

It is, in fact,  much more than my preferred hypermedia program.  Tutor-Tech
v2.7 is my favorite Apple II program EVER!  It has come to the rescue in many
situations in the classroom:

* inspiring students to write their own "Choose your own adventure" stories

* teaching students to recognize their own names

* focusing their reading comprehension abilities towards mastery through
competition and review

* enabling limited English speaking students to acquire essential math
vocabulary in days, instead of months.

* creating interactive quizes with built in reteaching

* teaching number value

* creating graphic based hypermedia lesson plans.

* creating speaking proposals for administrators, instead of just another
written proposal

* a graphics word processor (LOVE that Print Screen feature

* a Print Shop styled utility for creating schedules, notices, worksheets,
student reminders, etc.

* stimulating non-English students to converse in English

* educating those poor souls that think that an Apple II is just a toy for
playing games

* designing games to play

	TECHWARE CORPORATION no longer develops Tutor-Tech (they've moved on to
Corporate Multimedia Presentations and Websites of the six-figure variety), but
they still sell and support Tutor-Tech.  

	Dave, Dan and James who are TECHWARE CORPORATION are the BEST!  I've been
dealing with them since October 1997 and can't think of one negative about any
of them.  They're a class act!  Supportive, Generous and Patient with this
Apple II user -- and all for a product that they stopped developing back in
March 1992.

	You can download a demo version of Tutor-Tech for the IBM from TECHWARE's
website at:

http://www.techware.com/techware/software/tt.html

as well as contact them at: 1-888-TECHWARE 1-407-695-9000 techware@techware.com
 for an Apple II version.  There are also some stacks available on AOL and
version 2.6  to try out, but surprisingly, I've never found demos or stacks in
any Apple II archives.

BTW:  Techware has posted on their website Echo digitized speech  files- 4000
words and phrases - for downloading to be used with Tutor-Tech and an Echo II
card, but it is in Zipped binaries form.  I've never been able to successfully
download it with a Mac and get it to work on an Apple II.  

If anyone can do so and send be a copy on a floppy (it will take a 3.5") I'd be
grateful.  It's been well over a year, and this 8bit mentality of mine just
doesn't seem to grasp how to do it.
