most of this stuff is down to greg smith, brian holmes, vic gecas, trevor galbraith and some cheeky know it all year 8 i got this year.

 

good kid really

 

ask mike for a password so if you want to edit this, we can collaborate !

 

the thrust of this approach is to teach macromedia rather than the specific application. that way the concept of layers is addresses and then can be applied akll over the place

 

 

 

kids make a web site for

 

web_kids_name

 

• admin
• dreamweaver
• flash
• others

 

in each, there are sub directories of pages and images

 

 

in flash, a further sub directory of movies

 

 

index html

this is going to be the front page for the web pages.

 

 

four pages in subdir pages

pages 1 blank

page 2 two layers, mouse over show graphic of man. mouse over 1 man, mouse over 2 mirror. he dances

page 3 four layers, mouse click 1 show. mouse click 2 hide, mouse over 3 show, mouse out 4 hide

 

page 4 show banner, text layer, picture layer, mouse over of your photo , stuff like that

 

 

these all link back to index and is a little stand alone web site.

 

 

unfortunately, this seems to address some criterior or the other. research probably (sigh).
