<DIV>I use Practice IT by Bowden to teach the basics at Year 10 to Flash beginners, and the great site <A href="http://www.flashclassroom.com/cms/flashclassroom/index.php">http://www.flashclassroom.com/cms/flashclassroom/index.php</A> and Flash at <A href="http://ictmindtools.net/vb/"><FONT color=#800080>http://ictmindtools.net</FONT></A></DIV>
<DIV>However we find action scripting in Flash can be problematic, and at Year 11 would teach Scratch, a free progam from MIT, and encourage the high fliers to
<DIV>work through this great VB tutorial <A href="http://ictmindtools.net/vb/"><FONT color=#800080>http://ictmindtools.net/vb/</FONT></A> run by Margaret Meijers in Tasmania.</DIV>
<DIV>She has fantastic resources for many areas of IT.</DIV>Or students could tackle a set of exercises from Summers book Programming with Visual basic (a bit more difficult) - newer versions of the book are available.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi List, I was wondering if anyone has any ideas for U2 O1??? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a very weak class of gilrs and all SACs I have found focus on VB programming. My girls will all leave the class in droves if I taught them VB! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was wanting to create a SAC using Flash and teaching them basic Actionscript through gaming or movie clip animation to make it more interesting. Does anyone have any ideas??</FONT></DIV>
