Updating Standalone Flash9 Reader

The problem: .swf stored locally or on a network drive fail to play and request that Adobe Flash Player9 be installed

The Solution:

1. Google “Flash9 Player download” and install. The browsers will need to be closed and reopened after installation. All Flash movies (.swf files) will play in Internet Explorer or Firefox.

2. However, to resolve the issue of opening local and network files, open My Documents and click on Tools > Folder Options > File Types.

3. Type “s” and scroll down to .swf (Shockwave Flash Object)

4. If it is not associated with Adobe Flash Player 9.0 r11, then click the Change button and navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS2\Players\FlashPlayer.exe

Jing - Set-Up and Customize iGoogle

This is the first in a training series of Google tools being presented to the Upper School during assemblies. As students do not have tablets with them, I am using Jing (www.jingproject.com) to create videos to reinforce the instruction. Jing videos are limited to five minutes in length. iGoogle has been pretty universally embraced by those who have tried it, as a superior organizational tool.
