Putting the animation together wasn't too difficult with the excellent source material to work from. Jerry - give me a couple of days to modify it for export and make sure I'm not stepping on anyone's toes to distribute this...I should be able to come up with something that could be embedded in a PowerPoint presentation. Zach, this sort of simple, 2-D vector animation is fairly simple to do in Flash. If you're interested in the nitty gritty of it, let me know and I'll see what I can do as far as putting together a tutorial. Thanks for the comments and compliments, everyone!

It'd be a great teaching tool to embed in PowerPoint! Hey — that’s terrific, especially the animation! Any way that it can be made available as a stand-alone file?

Great synopsis, thanks. Larry I saw the Jenkins et al. article in JVP, Matt, but your commentary and especially the animation really brings the point(s) home! Great synopsis, thanks.
