After a winter and spring with our heads buried in development, 4mation 2007 is now available. The motto for the software is “taking instruction from good to great” and this was the guiding principle of the design. With this tool, teachers and instructional designers can start with what they now, then extend their instruction into the deeper of realms of curriculum (concepts, essential questions and outcomes) and instruction (connecting, extending learning to life, creative manifestations of material learned). We are very excited about the possibilities it offers for creating great instruction.

Some features we added for this release:

• Popin strategies aligned to each intstructional step
• Popin visual tools
• A worksheet that transforms and anlyzes existing instruction for balance
