Quick Start Project
In this project you are going to do a quick and simple project that you can really play around with and not worry about it being perfect. In fact, get all those cheesy transitions and effects out of your system now. First watch the Learning Strategies Tutorial and then work your way through the Quick Start Tutorials.
Workshop Teaching Strategy
I have created Flash based tutorials for all the projects we will cover. This method of teaching/learning might be new to you but I think you may find it extremely powerful once you get into it. By putting all my lessons into this web site you have control of your learning. You can go as fast or slow as your learning style requires. You can stop the lesson at any time and practice the techniques or ask me for more clarification. As you watch the tutorial, make sure to pause and practice the technique using the sample files. Once you complete a project, look at the agenda, and if you are ahead of schedule take the time to practice what you just learned to ensure that you understand the concept.
