Flash on YouTube

I have had one particular student asking me over and over to do Flash during computer time. I resisted, being a little afraid of Flash. Today, after seeing the 2d animation competition, I decided that I would go ahead but wanted to test it out with the grade 3's - yes Grade 3. I picked up this student from the special needs room and he, along with YouTube, taught the grade 3 student some simple animation using Flash. Next class, they will show their understanding of Forces using Flash.

Doing what we love.....

This is the beginning.
I have been reading and watching various post on the net that stress the importance of preparing students for their future which is not necessarily the world we live in now. Keeping this in mind, this blog will reflect my new learning about technology and will hopefully grow to represent the ideas of other teachers and sometimes, the collective thinking of the people who visit and share.
