AECT 2008 - Tuesday General Observations

Both presenters use and recommend the same technique for generating code. Steal. Find a script (HTML, CSS, Flash Action Script) that does something much like what you want and modify it. Even if you can't read the whole mess, you may be able to figure out which bits to change to get things to work. This is a method I have used for many years, and tried to pass on to students. It may not be ideal, but we must often deal with the real.

Just like last year, after the first day of workshops I am totally satisfied that this trip was worthwhile. I have so much to bring back that I can use in the lab. The workshops may be pre-conference extras, but they are worth the extra days.
