PETE&C Day 2: Learning Flash
On Sunday, I spent an all day session learning Adobe Flash. I must admit it was quite challenging and all new to me. Prior to the class I had never even opened the program!
It was an overwhelming day just trying the teach snowflakes to fall and hitting “ctrl Z” about 1,000 times! While, i realize that the educational significance of Flash animation may not be directly applied with student created projects, I had a deep desire to learn the “how to” of the program.
I will include below examples of my various Flash projects. They are elementary and basic, but it was an interesting experience to see how it is done in proper web design.

Laura,
Glad to see your having fun at your Coach’s meeting and I hope you and your fellow Coachs can come up with some really good plays for the next web game. I seem to be losing a lot of Liberal Followers on Twitter because of my new Blog (two weeks old) Do you think it could be because they can’t handle historical quotes or my writing skills are bad? After all I’am a Carpenter not a English Teacher! http://leevandenbrink.blogspot.com
Thanks Lee

That sounds like an interesting day, hope you enjoyed it. Looking forward to seeing the results.
I love Flash. I did a 2 day course a few years back and I’ve done bits and pieces since then (mostly in school holidays) It does take a long time, but the resources I’ve made look professional & my students love them.
I’ve been using the SAMS teach yourself in 24 hours books for Flash & Actionscript to move on a bit further. It’s been slow, but so far it’s been worth it, I’d really recommend these books to any Flash beginner.
