My first animation online!

Another great article on what people actually read online.

Perhaps this post can help us all. Concise is the important word.

HTML is still important and we will learn it in here.

By now you have created one or two Flash animations using a motion tween and different colors. Today I'll collect your first Flash through the network but first you need to put your name at the end of the animation.

Next you are going to create a Flash animation for a business. The business you create the Flash for will be based on your last name. For instance, if your last name begins with the letter F you could create a Flash for a "Fashion Designer" or a "Football player" or ...?

We are going to put the Flash animations online. http://50megs.com offers free hosting without any ads.

Today we are going to start with the debate over the merger with XM and Sirius.

Later you will write me a letter about your experiences using Google Documents (http://docs.google.com).

The "Game of the Week". I hope X-Stop allows it. What a neat Flash game!!

There are perhaps 5% of the population that simply *can’t* think.

There are another 5% who *can*, and *do*.

The remaining 90% *can* think, but *don’t*.

-- I find this true of my students as well.

Try out a fun game made by a student in my computer class!
