Action Script Endeavers with Middle School
My students are becoming adept with vector graphics, symbols, the library, layers, the time line, and setting keyframes. Then, I introduced them to action script. First, I had to review the material myself, and now that I know a little bit more than the class, we are proceeding. The action script is causing some delays, but I think it is important that the students have a few common scripts to use and to see what they can do. So far, we are working with stop(); / gotoAndPlay(1); / on(release) { gotoAndPlay(10); }. It looks like it will take several days for the class to master these (two days of confusion so far), so we'll work some more on that and also tweening next week.

It is great that you have started working with the students. I can't wait to read how it goes. Thanks for starting the new blog, it is so helpful.

Richard as I have been mentoring teachers, I have been encouraging them to let the students teach them. Try letting the students do one of the assignments from the wiki then let them teach you. I know it is a totally different role to be in but watch your students shine. They love it when they can teach the teacher. By the way blogging doesn't need to be long. Just a quick statement about what you and/or your class has been doing.
