Flash in FYC

Ellertson, Anthony. "Some Notes on Simulacra Machines, Flash in First-Year Composition, and Tactics in Spaces of Interruption." Computers in the Composition Classroom. Eds. Michelle Sidler, Richard Morris, and Elixabeth Overman Smith. Boston: Bedford / St. Martin’s, 2008: 482-484. Print.


I have to say that I love Flash, and I've seen first hand how using it can create a more complete vision or message. Here is flash video created in NMTP II by my classmates and I for Dr. Mourao (a lit prof at ODU). She had several pieces (video, personal essay, scholarly work, paintings) that fed into this concept of whiteness in Portuguese culture. We were able to centralize all her work so that the viewer or "reader" could understand the full concept. I think that the elements worked together to really create a complete argument.

  1. I love the project; I'm a little uncomfortable with the fact that you all did not get credit for your work on the project?!?!

  2. We did. There's a credits page (if you click on the boat) where we're all listed.
