An old Chinese proverb says that the longest journey begins with but a single step. Our recent Globaloria training weekend seemed to me to be a first step in our journeys along the Globaloria pathway. Based on that introduction it looks like it will certainly be an exciting and educational journey.
Now two weeks later I find myself taking steps two and, maybe, three. I have spent time working on my Flash skills and actually posted (with Angie's kind assistance) two Flash screens for our game. The idea was to create something that made words look like they were 'raining' down on the screen, for the player to choose from. Well, I must confess that I can now have words do just about anything we need them to do, except maybe for singing. I have not been able to work that out yet, maybe for steps four and beyond of the journey.
As resources for Flash learning I am of course using all the great info, demos, etc. on the main Globaloria educator's page. In addition I also use an online resource for software training that has video tutorials for all types of software programs. It is a subscription service that my school subscribes to. If you would like to see it go to lynda.com
