[games_access] article

[d. michelle hinn]

I totally understand about everything going into GAIM at the moment. 
I was thinking that down the line you might be interested in creating 
a version that people with a lesser grasp of something like Flash 
could also follow (ie, non-coders but educators who understand the 
curriculum bits).

Yeah, Director is definitely more robust! But because Flash is 
packaged with lots of other stuff, a lot of people who are new to all 
this choose the package so that they have the web editor, art 
program, etc too. But don't take this as a criticism of your work -- 
just suggestions for when you want to extend it when you get past the 
masters thesis! :)
