The last of the series, this continues from the previous video, here we put the finishing touches to our Flash calculator.
After the previous lesson, we now look further into variables and calculations for buttons. Retrieving variables and displaying them on the screen.
Episode four of the series, continuing from the previous video, this looks into more detail of ‘variables’ and how the work within the calculator example.
Building on from the previous Flash Calculator video, we now extend the programming and delv into more ActionScript.
This tutorial follows on from the previous one, and includes buttons. Sounds exciting? Well, nearly.
The first of 6 video tutorials on how to create a calculator with Flash. It combines graphic design (vector) with a touch of programming (actionscript). The series starts off very easy, and progresses at a nice pace to something a little more challenging.
Create a platform game using Flash. Simple animation, and simple ActionScript code. 01 – Creating the stickman 02 – Creating the platform 03 – The ActionScript Some other files you will need: Platform Game Instructions (Handouts) – PDF Presentation – PDF

My first day with the Chromebook. An adjustment or rather a paradigm shift to the normal constructed view of how we use everyday computers. The focus of the Chromebook is not the platform or the hardware itself, but the in the infrastructure the Chromebook delivers, not a wondrous new device that will revolutionise the way [...]

This is a short video I used to help students to understand filtering and sorting data. The video also includes VLOOKUP. I used this spreadsheet for the practical part. Purple Spiders – Excel
