Today I’m speaking in Stirling at the Learning & Teaching Scotland Futures Group meeting. Broadly, I’m speaking about using Flash in Education, and at some point in the session I want folk to go and have a look at some cool things on the web. The following links may seem quite random, but there is a point to all of them, honest!
Some really cool examples of what Flash can do:

navigation for a site – interesting notice board in the services section

cool little Flash toys

combining the mapping apps on the web into one place
moving around a wired up Mexican home?

what vodafone thought about the future in 2004!

production company for the likes of LG, Samsung, Volvo etc

health promotion from the BBC

interactive site looking at evolution

the work of Henrik Ibsen presented in Flash

How about a wee spot of painting?

How about sharing a whiteboard?

Or even your whole desktop?

great interactive guitar animation

using Flash in storytelling

This is just lovely {– thanks for this one Naomi} – where will this story go?

Zwok – simple game throwing balls in the air at opposing team

Peep – interaction for early years

How do the creators/owners of Flash use it to market their products?

Andy Field’s site for creating content

Articulate – more versatile Quiz and Presenter maker

Breeze – Adobe’s own Quiz, Conference and Presenter maker

BlackCat tool for making Flash quizzes

LTScotland of course have many examples of interactive resources online at the moment using Flash:
Global footprint calculator – User can calculate the environmental impact of their own/ and their schools behaviour and record their results.

Channel 4 – Modern Languages

Health Promotion – Interactive games, quizzes, wordsearchs etc

High resolutions images viewer – in this instance used to look at massive old maps from the national libraries of Scotland

What about elsewhere in Scotland?
