Dragability

Interactivity is all about being able to move and drag objects about and , the list of things available to move is almost endless. You can utilise all the amazing possibilities of digital media with your creativity and good teaching. Think of all the activities we undertake with children which de-

mand items being moved-

• labelling the bones in a human skeleton,

• adding musical notes to a staff,

• sorting a collection of words into nouns and verbs,

• classifying artwork into different categories,

• assembling a parts of an image to make a complete picture,
