[Yr11 Information Technology] A quick question

[Travis Parker]

How do you know I am not him and just teaching to scrape together a few
dollars over Summer so I can hit the slopes over winter for some serious
powder?

Seriously though, I am aware of it. Only because my students googled me
a few years ago and found him. I have also been compared to Travis
Barker, the drummer from Blink 182. I might have to have a name change!

With Flash and Actionscript, I love it. The only reason I don't use it
in year 11 is because I like to use VB express 2010 as it is what the
students will use (And the school likes it because it's free....) if
they continue on to Software Development. It just gives that little bit
extra time in year 12 to cover the theory if they already have some
foreknowledge of your chosen programming language. 

Cheers

Trav

Cool, thankyou.
I wanted a 2nd opinion. My mentor teacher said it should be alright for
the same reasons as you said.
Btw, are you aware that there is a Travis Parker who's a pro snowboarder
from the USA?
Anyway.
Thanks again,
Peter

I would hazard to guess as Flash uses Actionscript 3 (Or 2, I think you
can still use either?) and it is a scripting language you could make use
of it? I used to start my Multimedia class on Actionscript by making a
"Who wants to be a Millionaire" quiz (A few years ago when Eddie was on
TV and not the radio!) with buttons for the correct answers if you need
any ideas.

Hi All,
I'm sorting out my year and I noticed Unit 2 outcome 2 invloves "using a
programming or scripting language."
Would Adobe Flash count as either of these, as it involves coding or am
I left with Visual Basic?

Cheers,
Peter
