TechnoFlash was really a great way to introduce the Flash features. I loved how there were specific directions but students were still able to individualize their project.

Customer Reviews

High school students animate a digital story with Flash lesson plans. Using illustrated, step by step instructions, they learn how to make objects move using frame-by-frame, motion and shape tweens, and motion paths.
