[Year 12 IT Apps] Dreamspark

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Somebody asked offlist about a link to the 30 day evaluation subscription. I
have just got permission to share it on this list.
      https://store.atomiclearning.com/store_group_training?site=uk

If you try this, I suggest that you do what I did. Find a unit of work that
runs for about a month and then give it a decent thrashing in the classroom
to check out understanding / bandwidth issues.

Regards Roland

> Speaking of movies, I decided to try out the AtomicLearning series of flash

> Gimp and more.  I was able to configure to directly launch / login these
