Hey Apple...what's up with Flash?

Tried to use the iPads to explore the website "CellsAlive" in class today.  The website requires Flash to run animations...something not compatible with the iPads...confusion/frustration ensued.

...tried to run ExploreLearning Gizmos on iPads as well....again...not compatible...more confusion/frustration/despair :(...apparently ExploreLearning is going to be iPad-compatible by Christmas (Christmas!!  As in the end of the semester....not helpful!)

This Flash issue will be problematic as many science animation sites that I incorporate into my courses use this technology.  Hopefully Apple comes up with something soon!

  1. Hi Sue -- as the saying goes "there is an App for that" -- in the case of Flash, there is Photon which will enable you to access Flash sites on the iPad
