We are in the process of regeneration at Sidcot School. Having taught from a porta-cabin for the last dozen years a £4m creative arts building is currently on the build. As part of the fund raising for this I have created a promotional website. I include a link to it here as part of assignment five as it is using several of the 'drag and drop' software technologies that I have been discovering exploring and exploiting this term.

The authorities asking me to do this work asked for an interactive CD rom - I produced a short film this time last year containing much of this content that could be screened at the various fund raising receptions that were staged. My feeling with any presentation on CD rom, even if it is something chosen, is that it is much more of an effort to view than that that can be put across with a few clicks of the mouse. It would be interesting to see how quickly a sense of this website can be achieved without having to go though all the tedious detail. Even a Flash introduction can be too much. Instant gratification, we need to grasp what something is about in the first few seconds, to be drawn in, or we move on to the next offering.
