I was thinking of extending our schools gaming context for IPT to include mobile devices, and as a very impressed owner of an IPAD I can't hep think how positive the experience would be for my students. If anyone has used the iOS SDK recently, and has some advise to share on how hard it would be to get started on this, I would love to hear about it. We currently work on Visual Basic and Gamemaker. Is there an Apple person in Australia /Brisbane who looks after schools and IPADS? I'd love to get in contact with them.

We just need to encourage all ITS teachersto sign up to edNA Groups.

Can I suggest that this thread be extended to explore all the great ideas that might be happening around Qld in ITS, as we move towards a post VET era. As we eventually will have the need to rewrite WPs, the time is ripe for exploring where we can take ITS without the constraints of the VET components. It has to be a truly exciting time and opportunity to pursue relevant technologies that will engage our students. I'm not sure if this is the best venue, or the ITS Edna site? Ideas? Paul Rayner From: Drew Semple <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Friday, July 30, 2010 2:44 PM To: QSITE ICT Teachers <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [qsiteict] ITS - Flash animations and uploading to mobile phone I have done Flash Animations for Mobiles with my Year 9 class this year. Ile they have used ActionScript, it has been at a fairly low level and the amount of design and evaluation was nothing like what I would expect from an ITS class. However, the basis of your concern is probably about the issues to do with mobile phones. We used Adobe CS4 and installed Device Central in addition to Flash. The computers also need fairly free access to the internet for Device Central to download the device library from the Adobe site. All of this took lots of negotiation with our tech guys. I bought a couple of base-level Nokia phones because they have Flash Lite Ver 2.0 and will work without a SIM card. Maybe other brands can do this as well. Start the process in Device Central specifying the brand and model of phone being targeted, and select "New Flash File". Device Central and Flash do the rest for you, creating the correct size stage. When you preview the animation, it opens Device Central and the animation appears in a "skin" of the phone. The skin includes the phone keyboard and buttons- all active just like the real thing. It is really cool. You can then just download the "SWF" file to the real phone using a USB cable or Bluetooth. The kids loved it. Developing for Flash Lite presents a couple of constraints compared to developing an animation to run on a computer, but it is still a really cool assignment. Go for it. As an aside, I used the same phones for my Year 11 ITS class to develop a movie in a video unit. It breaks away from developing for just a computer. I also have a Wii that they are going to develop products for as well.

At meetings in the past I have heard of people planning to have their students write flash animations and then upload them to their mobile phones. Has anyone tried to do this as part of their course? Has it been successful/not too difficult? The reason I am asking is that I am thinking of advertising it to our current year 10 students as one of the 'features' of the course. As I only know the concept, not the technicalities (they can come later), if it is not feasible, I will not promote it. Don't want to be accused of false advertising.
