It's a bit hard to suggest a solution while guessing what you're trying to do? Is it some sort of form you want to fill in that gets a students previously visited websites?

How about moving your rocket relative to the distance between where it is and its target height? I've just done it in flash(actionscript) and it looks like this: rocket_mc.y -= (rocket_mc.y - yMax)/speed; speed += accel; (Bear in mind the coordinate system is upside down in flash which is why there's a - sign) As (rocket_mc.y - yMax) gets tends towards 0 as the rocket approaches yMax the distance moved will tend towards 0 also. I put it together in a flash file over lunch too: rocketlaunch

I'm not quite sure what you're getting at... if you want the rocket to reach a height greater than 1,000,000 and have a limit of 50 in Scratch then surely you need to recalculate the steps so the 50 Scratch units matches your yMax The other easy solution is having a simple: if(rocket.Y > yMax) Then rocket.Y = yMax... that would stop it disappearing, but will also stop moving Not sure if either are massively helpful suggestions

Be careful doing it this way... If you are creating a database table and find yourself creating POS1 POS2 POS3... etc then you are designing it badly in the first place, although some people find it easier. You should really break it down to multiple tables. One table for TEAMS, one for PLAYERS and one for TEAMhasPLAYERS using the Primary Key ID for TEAMS and PLAYERS and a reference to another table with the description of POSITIONS via a primary key. It's more complicated but allows you to do more useful SQL queries on the data and if you add a TIMESTAMP field you can keep historical records too.

Brilliant... can you give me a pointer in the right direction on how to create the report. I was expecting to supply the day as a parameter anyway so that's fine. And yes... it does specifically need to be a report

Can anybody help with creating a SIMS report to produce the room that a student is in for all the periods of the current day... I'm going round in circles at the moment! Thanks

I recently helped the Art department out with an animation project using Adobe Flash. I suppose that's an expensive option unless you already have it as we did. We just took still photos and imported them into blank keyframes, then changed the frame rate to suit. The other software we used was Pencil (Pencil - a traditional 2D animation software) which is free and open sourced, but it depends what your source for animation is and whether you are creating it from scratch or digital images.

We love the Dell Latitude 2110's we have got for school. They were originally purchased because of the staff laptop deal being with Dell, but it turns out they were a really good quality product too.

I just thought I would share a great Green technique we have come up with in school. We no longer allow students to print in ICT. As the submission of coursework is moving to electronic format we now only allow the PDF convertor to 'print' to a file. So far it has saved us a fortune in toners and paper in one half term alone. Not sure if other departments will adopt this yet, but it is certainly working for us.

Just as another thought... In our school this year the ICT department has stopped students printing anything. As coursework is becoming more electronically submitted it is easier for us to handle if we teach them how to use the PDF converter printer. It's not a whole school implementation, just the ICT computers which have a profile only allowing access to the convertor. This has so far saved a fortune in terms of toner and paper in the first half term and may well be the way the whole school goes soon. Teachers can still print relevant work for the students, but it is therefore controlled by somebody who is not going to print 200 copies of the same thing!

I've been looking at smartphones recently and while it's not out yet the new Dell Windows 7 phone looks quite handy.. its the only one with a slideout keyboard.. just another thought to consider... easy to find on youtube with a search for "dell windows phone 7"
