<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I’d like to confirm the use of the word flash. The plugin that allows a device to play “flash” content is one thing, but the Adobe Flash program used to create
the content is another. I’m not sure what we are referencing here.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">It is my understanding (I haven’t had time to test it though) that Adobe Flash CS6 will export to HTML 5. So playing what I have made in Adobe Flash on different
devices is becoming easier. I also find that teaching animation with this software allows my students fairly quick comprehension of the basics and an environment where some of their artistic flare can be developed.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">So, what software are we looking at replacing Adobe Flash? What other programs are out there that will supplement a 2D animation curriculum? Is there anything
that allows an easy 2D -> 3D conversion?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I’m still pretty new to the game, but I wasn’t aware that I could use After Effects in the same way as Adobe Flash. I used Director back in the day… don’t really
want to look at it again… <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">My curriculum at the moment is mapped out as Animation and Websites (html/css) in Adobe Flash/Dreamweaver over semester 1 and Video using Premier and After
Effects over semester 2.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I’d love some PD in any of the above – pretty much living off co-pilot, you tube and a couple books. Incorporating HTML 5 and CSS 3 would be good as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:#262626">Geoff, I am interested in how you are integrating Flash with the video piece. What is it that you are specifically doing?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:#262626">The good thing I am finding is the students’ love affair with After Effects after having worked in Flash. Claire I think some PD in After Effects would be welcome – even
in the Industry advice given a couple of years ago knowledge of After Effects was highlighted as an increasingly required skill within industry.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:#262626">I agree with you both Claire and Luke, our training package has become out-dated. The problem does exist as Michelle has pointed out with VCAA specifying that Flash be
used in the exam which in turn does mean we end up having to teach Flash - the exam wagging the dog is the truth Claire.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:#262626">One thing I have always loved about teaching IDM is that it is exciting, creative and utilises technology. Boredom (except when writing content and students exclaim “we

year. There's no doubt that Flash is quickly losing relevance in the web space, and the output formats referenced in the range statements mean that I've had to make sure my students are also aware of how to output to a website. But that doesn't mean the tool
has to be irrelevant. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

have to be at least a two year lead time to train Unit 1&2 students in the program and it introduces an equity problem as it could be argued that After Effects requires higher spec desktops. After all, I think this is the first year the VCAA said that they
wouldn't allow Director (at last!)</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
