Flash! AHHHHH!
• (saviour of the universe)?
• Games are a winner
• Anyway to annoy the ICT teacher and beat friends at the same time.
Loading Quickly
• School internet connections/PCs slow
• Needs to load quickly (before teacher sees!)
• We are an impatient people!

Making sure it (just about) works
• We usually use IE6 – so we can put up with the odd error.
• Make sure the games load! (Priorities!)

In Summary…
• Teenagers don’t know Web 2.0
• Whilst some appreciate a good design, not many will think “I’m glad they used rounded corners. CSS3 FTW” (lets face it)
• Try something different – something you would never usually do for a traditional client.
