Animated Dragonfly

[Jim Ford]

My wife drew this and I reduced and animated it for the web site I recently created for her:

Very nice Jim

[Jim Ford]

I meant to upload this one - the one above was too small.

You're welcome to a copy:

For a PC (Mac might be different), right mouse click, copy image - and it's yours!

Thank you Jim. How kind!

That's beautiful Will she do some more???
I've been using animated gifs in Powerpoint to illustrate some songs for the Nursery at school - like Five Green & Speckled Frogs

This sort of thing, 'loripo'?



If you PM me with your email address I'll send you a larger version (maybe with the frog jumping off a lily pad!).

If you also work with Primary School age children using computers, have a look at 'Squeak', in particular 'Squeakland':

squeakland : home of squeak etoys

Using Squeak, children will easily be able to draw and animate frogs for themselves - including a croak if the frog bumps into something!

It's an extraordinary learning tool for children and was devised by a team headed by Alan Kay, the inventor of the windowing interfaces that we see on all our computers - Mac as well as PCs. The Squeak team is also supported by Seymour Papert, a child psychologist who devised the outdated 'Logo' educational language.

Thank you - I will. That site looks great. Last school year I worked with a number of Special needs children doing digital art. That would be great to use too.
