*************************************
23 Mar 2007
THE ANIMATION HAS BEEN REVISED A BIT WITH YOUR PRECIOUS COMMENT! MANY THANKS!!
*************************************
Task 3: To design a simple learning object to help student understand what impacts shape of a rain drop.

This time, my groupmate (Ivan) and I disucssed about how to present the idea (i.e. the storyboard) and try to work out a separate design.

Haha, the animation is very interesting. I think it is good to motivate students to learn.

My suggestion is that it would be better if the building is smaller and the raindrop is larger in size, as it is too small to be read.

Another suggestion is that it would be better if the explaination is appeared during the rain is dropping, rather than appeared at the end of the animation.

Anyway, you do a very good work!

Hi there,
The important info is at the end.
Can you integrate these info into the free falling image?

Hi Ryan and Andrew

Thank for your suggestions. I've also thought of giving descriptions during the dropping of "rain". However, I think I need more time to design/complete the task...so, it becomes what it is now. Perhaps I can try improve the presentation this weekend.

Cheers,
Emily

Dear Yue and Andrew,
I agree to what other classmates' suggestions. But I agree that we need more time to learn how to control the buttons of flash. Nevertheless, the most important is that we had tried our best. I think that's enough.
