[Year 12 IPM] OT: Girls in IT (was LAN gaming)

[S. Pastore]

I am wanting to introduce gaming in my multimedia course using Flash MX. Does 
anyone have any tasks that they are willing to share. I am in the process of 
learning action script so I am not a pro at it, but am hoping that my kids 
understand the fundamentals to get them started.

thanks for all the help that this list provides
