So you want to run Flash?

Part of my project was to facilitate use within the science department. Most of the use has been to be able to have students view and interact with small animations. These are usually short & quick activities where students are able to further their learning through the animation. Unfortunately many of these are flash objects.

Fear not, there is a way around this. As long as the animation is not shockwave based (ie like on gizmos (pre-app) or java based (pHet simulations), you can use "Puffin Free" browser. It has a free demo period. After the trial period, you can't use the app during peak use periods (not during the school day!!).

To use the Puffin Browser, use it like any other browser. Search the query using a search engine, find the flash based animation.
