Fall 2009 Flash Class

1. Indigenous Voices on Climate Change site/Cloud map representing continents w clickable links to indigenous stories/video  http://bit.ly/k7RLl   6:00 PM Dec 6th   from bit.ly

I really like the simple integration of complex information: different ways to tell the stories of indigenous peoples: video, pictures, popup, clear mouse over, innovative map of world, links..

I took this class was because of the increasing amount of cartographers that are requiring Flash as a skillset on top of many other cartographic software applications.

National Geographic - everything .. the journal, the kids section, travel, MAPS

Air application which you can download onto your desktop which dynamically displays all the latest tweets, videos, blogs, news and articles on "Avatar" the movie.

I love the topic it explores, an indigenous planet with priceless resources, which is also about Native Americans and Indigenous peoples all our planet, but its also about all of us, indigenous to the Earth. I like the sound effects, music, visual candy, the new space frontier idea, and its crisp look. My favorite site because it is about a fake planet with a real world story, there is a video game already released, beautiful visual effects and computer graphics. The indigenous species may have a chance to win..
