[Yr7-10it] 'Alice' and similar programs for sub VCE classes for 09

[andrew barry]

Hi,

Has anybody thought of using silverlight in their classes instead of Flash?
It uses vb.net skills or c# so it is appropriate with classes with
programming background.
Silverlight can easily animate objects.
Teachers may have to prepare routines for animation for some students but as
an IT teacher you should be able to do this.

I have found that Silverlight is an exceent way to introduce students to
programming as it works with images, can be placed on the internet and
develops programming skills.
Games in education was big at the recent conference and i think this is a
step along those lines. It can offer more in educational terms than simple
point and click alternatives.
