Flash on your iPad!

Did you know that for just 99 cents you can use Flash based websites on an iOS device?  That includes great games for those with significant special needs like those at Shiny Learning and Help Kidz Learn! The Puffin Browser works on all iOS devices, iPad, iPod and iPhone.  I don't know how it works, but using it to visit websites allows you to see and interact with Flash items! (Admittedly with a bit of a lag.)  For switch based games the entire touch screen becomes your switch and the game becomes even more fun!

Holiday Activities

Here are some links to interactive holiday activities for your classroom. Most are in Flash and most would be great on an interactive white board or with a touch screen. (Note you can use the Firefox extension ScrapBook to view off line or download to the newest Real Player - will lose interactivity this way.)

• Decorate gingerbread cookies here or here
• Make a Flake
  
• Santa's Deer (slightly distasteful in that middle school boy kind of way)
• I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
• Christmas Monkeys
• Drag and Drop Decorate for Christmas
• Decorate the Tree
  
• Decorate Your Christmas Tree
• Diving Penguin Game (can be played with one switch set on spacebar)

Flash Videos (not interactive - download with the new Real Player and insert into PPT, Clicker5 or Classroom Suite activities)

• Pretty Paper
• I believe in Santa Claus
• Snow Duet
• We Wish You a Merry Christmas
• White Christmas
• Joy to the World (religious images)
• Dog Bark Jingle Bells

Links to about a dozen Flash items.
