Thread: Creating an interactive online physics curriculum

Sure, let me know what kind of contributions you need, glad to help

Hi Phil,

I checked out you're goalfinder site (I'm assuming you take part in it's developement) It's very nice.

I too am designing flash animated presentations for my students to better understand science. I've just finished a few books on using actionscript to create web based video games and have begun designing interacive science activities similar to:

of course writing computer codes can become quite frustrating on occasion

Do you know much about using flash components and actionscript?

If so then I would definetly look forward to some advice or suggestions from time to time.

sincerely,

Hi,
Yeah I work at goalfinder, I double up both as a flash animator and coder, my knowledge of programming is OK, I am using actionscript for interface, quizzes and simulations in our site. So am more experienced in these. Whatever you need let me know, though I am not a guru but then with Gods like actionscript.org and flashguru.com to rescue me from all crisis that I face during a day, I generally pretend to be one. 8)
The chemistry animations were good, they can make it more interactive and somewhere adding more explanation of the "what is happening inside" will help the students grap better, but nevertheless good approach.

Have you tried out interactive quizzes in classrooms? I feel they work best when explantions to answers are added instead of "Right" or wrong ?
