[Yr7-10it] Scratch on Networks at School

[COOK Peter]

Hi Paul,

It runs over our MOE network without a hitch. I simply place it in the
students common drive and they run it from there.

Hi everyone, 
 
I have been playing around with Scratch over the holidays, and want to use
it with my Year 9 ICT class next year as a lead in to Actionscript. Is there
any problem with downloading and running Scratch on school networks ? 
 
Eg. With Flash, all creation of .SWF files is blocked by our network,
(because kids put thousands of .SWF games up there otherwise); and so I have
to get a special folder setup for each student where they can make .SWFs.  
 
Are there any problems I might have with them running their Scratch projects
on computers connected to the network that people know of as being common in
schools? 
 
Thanks, Paul Pascoe
