My last class on “Introduction to Using Video in Flash” went well. I didn’t start pulling together the presentation until last night, but I knew I only had to produce about an hour of content. I had plenty, in fact, I went over. The students looked interested the entire time and I didnt’ see anyone look impatient once I had realized I had taken longer than I thought.

I saw some glossy eyes, particuarly when showing the AS code for using FLV (w/o components), but overall I think it was well received. I had prepared my presentation in PowerPoint thinking that the school would have PowerPoint… what school doesnt have it? Well.. that classroom didn’t. I brought a FlashPaper version of the presentation along just in case, and I am SUPER glad I did.

This was the last class for the beginning Flash class. I think the entire class went very well and I got a lot of people interested for my ActionScript class (starting April 2nd). I expect to see quite a few familiar faces there. I am glad I was able to co-teach with Dianne. It definitely made my intro to teaching at UNLV a lot easier. Dianne says that she, along with other UNLV instructors, are signing up for my ActionScript class. Sounds like it could be a very full class.

My next step is to sign up for the UNLV ColdFusion class. CF is something I have wanted to learn, just haven’t had time. This class will force me to learn it. I think I can even take it for free, if there are free seats, or I can bring my laptop with me.
