Drawing in flash once again


Flash was very hard to understand and hard to complete without the teachers help.
Flash was also very interesting; like drawing in flash was hard, but fun to do.
Drawing in flash was new and like painting in the computer. Having more information than watching a video and having to read notes, but a teacher going through the steps with us and helping during the process. We have to remember the codes so we can upload files to our wiki pages and in case someone erases the flash we will have it on our wiki.
Flash is difficult and hard to understand, but once I got the meaning of the words and the tools I learned it was quite fun and interesting.
Yes distractions are a very big part of why most kids in the classroom are not able to understand flash as much as the ones that aren't distracted.
I think what can keep people form being distracted from others is...
Well I don't exactly know what could be done about the people that distract others form work; maybe separate them from the others by giving them a warning and if they disrupt again maybe the principals office. That might and might not work. The Flash videos are very helpful because they teach how to go through the steps and they teach you how to work most of the programs on flash, but sometimes the videos are hard to understand and grab the concept of them as fast as others can. Flash is very important in technology because that's what we need to pass this class and if we ever plan on making a game later on in life we have the knowledge form middle school technology classes. The video tutorials are very hard to understand that's why I prefer the teacher walking us through the procedure instead of the flash videos. I can understand flash better if I take better notes instead of notes that dont't give that great of information. Yes learning Flash will help better in the future because flash is a great way of learning new techiques than just sitting around the house, you can go and teach others how to do things like this and help them through the process of flash and see how good they do. Flash has and still is a very weird source of computer programmings because who knew someone can learn form drawing!

Globaloria


The visit with Ms.Shannon was different from other visits with other people, but it was very informative about how to upload our flash to our wiki account. I was interested in what we had to do to make the things that we learned possible because it was very new. I felt that I learned a lot from her and that I will use it again to upload more flash files to our wiki. When she visited for the flash I learned a lot from her. When she first started talking about the flash I was uninterested in it, then I learned about the steps that we had to take. That's when it got harder to follow along. Uploading flash to the wiki was a new experience to have gotten and it was very hard to do most things she wanted us to do. Ms. Shannon came all the way from New York which was very thoughtful of her to help 6th graders with their flash. When she told us that she was going to be our substitute for Mrs. Ross Miller I was upset because that meant that we weren't going to see Mrs. Miller for the period. When we finally uploaded the files to our wiki it showed up our drawing in flash file that we had drew and that was mission accomplished. I was very proud of my success . Heres more information on drawing in flash and uploading

Drawing in flash



Drawing in flash was fun and interesting because we learned about the things to do in making the shapes and fills. When we started drawing in flash I didn't know where to start first. The thing that I started first was a house with flowers, trees,and a little boy blowing bubbles. It wasn't the best, but it was the best I could do. I had a lot of fun doing everything; the coloring, the filling, the outlines and everything. When we watched the video for drawing in flash it was hard to understand at first, but I took notes so I would remember. The picture that I have is a picture of drawing in flash. Its complicated to learn, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes easy. Doing flash was an interesting thing to learn because I had never done it before and it was fun learning something new and locking it into your memory.

My team is a great team because we work hard together and get things done fast and right the first time. We had complications at first when we started the project, but we got through it together and became a better team. My team mates are hard workers and have their own job in the project. Our game is based on pollution and cigarettes and how they both effect the world in bad ways. Our team works on our levels and paper prototyping the pieces were hard to cut with detail for our levels and they were great and went with the game. Our game title is The Green Effect it is about people helping keep the world clean from cigarettes and air and water pollution. Our team name is The good The bad and U. It was created and founded by Valerie, Jonathan, Karina, Elias, and Myself. Thats all for my team and drawing in flash.
