On 27th Feb 2007, we have a presentations given by En. Shahril a week earlier. Each group have peresented with their own topics and styles. My group have presented abaout standalaone softwares. We chose Flash Software.

These are some information about Flash.

1) Flash is a tool for creating interactive and animated web sites. Macromedia Flash is a multimedia graphics program specially for use on the web.

3) Flash does not require programming skills and is easy to learn.

The advantages of Flash Software.

1) Flash loads much faster than animated images.

2) Flash allows interactivity

3) Flash does not require programming skills and it provides an easy way to put animated and interactive movies on web sites.

4) Flash is catchy especially if the animation and interactivity is used well.

5) you can deliver to your audience engaging applicatoins and web interfaces such as trainijg courses, tutorials and presentations.

The advantages of Flash are :

1) Increases the time the homepage takes to load.
- music and sound files embedded in Flash movies increase their file sizes which in turn increases the download time.

2) Flash is not very search engine friendly.
- human like simple and quick to follow web pages and not a complex and difficult to navigate web site.

3) It is more expansive and time consuming to update and maintain a Flash web site than a traditional web site.

I am also learn about IWB , Smart Schools, other standalone softwares such as Geometer Sketchpad, PDA's, laptops and Dreamweaver Software (web base).
