Suzie hads a great wiki: <a href=\"http:\/\/educationalsoftware.wikispaces.com\/\">educational software and web 2.0<\/a> which covers nearly everything I&#8217;ve heard of. After a few tweets this morning, I&#8217;ve started adding an <a href=\"http:\/\/educationalsoftware.wikispaces.com\/Adobe+Flash\">Adobe Flash<\/a> page to the wiki. Hopefully it will be of some value, the rest of the wiki certainly is.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sandaigprimary.co.uk\/pivot\/images\/2007-10-15_flash_eg.jpg\" alt=\"Flash  eg\" height=\"150\" width=\"208\" style=\"float:left;margin:3px\"><\/p>\n<p>Coincidentally, I&#8217;ve become involved in another <em>flash<\/em> project; as I was invited to join the <a href=\"http:\/\/flashteachers.blogspot.com\/\">Teachers sharing their work with Flash<\/a> blog.<br  \/><a href=\"http:\/\/flashteachers.blogspot.com\/\">Teachers sharing their work with Flash<\/a> centres round the work of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tygh.co.uk\/\" title=\"intro\">Geoff Dellow<\/a>.

He tells me he is retired but he has certainly not slowed down (a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=Geoff+Dellow\" title=\"Geoff Dellow - Google Search\">quick google<\/a> will tell a lot). Geoff promotes the use of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tygh.co.uk\/cd.html\" title=\"Learning Flash Basics\">flash 4 in primary schools<\/a>  and provides free over the phone tutoring for teachers. I first met Geoff at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ltscotland.org.uk\/sett\/\" title=\"The Scottish Learning Festival\">SETT<\/a> before it was The Scottish Learning Festival. He had children creating animations in flash at his stall which had me hooked.<br  \/>I hope I manage to do some work with flash again soon so that I can share it on the <a href=\"http:\/\/flashteachers.blogspot.com\" title=\"Teachers sharing their work with Flash\">blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"thetags\" style=\"display:none\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/TeachMeetPerth\/\" rel=\"tag\" target=\"_blank\">TeachMeetPerth<\/a> <a rel='tag' class='pivotx-taglink' href='http:\/\/johnjohnston.info\/blog\/?t=teachmeetperth' title='Entries tagged with: TeachMeetPerth'>TeachMeetPerth<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/TeachMeet08\/\" rel=\"tag\" target=\"_blank\">TeachMeet08<\/a> <a rel='tag' class='pivotx-taglink' href='http:\/\/johnjohnston.info\/blog\/?t=teachmeet08' title='Entries tagged with: TeachMeet08'>TeachMeet08<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/TeachMeet08North\/\" rel=\"tag\" target=\"_blank\">TeachMeet08North<\/a> <a rel='tag' class='pivotx-taglink' href='http:\/\/johnjohnston.info\/blog\/?t=teachmeet08north' title='Entries tagged with: TeachMeet08North'>TeachMeet08North<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/flash\/\" rel=\"tag\" target=\"_blank\">flash<\/a> <a rel='tag' class='pivotx-taglink' href='http:\/\/johnjohnston.info\/blog\/?t=flash' title='Entries tagged with: flash'>flash<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/scotedublogs\/\" rel=\"tag\" target=\"_blank\">scotedublogs<\/a> <a rel='tag' class='pivotx-taglink' href='http:\/\/johnjohnston.info\/blog\/?t=scotedublogs' title='Entries tagged with: scotedublogs'>scotedublogs<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/SuzieVesper\/\" rel=\"tag\" target=\"_blank\">SuzieVesper<\/a> <a rel='tag' class='pivotx-taglink' href='http:\/\/johnjohnston.info\/blog\/?t=suzievesper' title='Entries tagged with: SuzieVesper'>SuzieVesper<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/ULearn07\/\" rel=\"tag\" target=\"_blank\">ULearn07<\/a> <a rel='tag' class='pivotx-taglink' href='http:\/\/johnjohnston.info\/blog\/?t=ulearn07' title='Entries tagged with: ULearn07'>ULearn07<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve not updated here for a week, but have been quite busy elsewhere.
