| Animations 
Animations are dynamic (i.e., not static) Web sites combining a variety of media,
such as images, film clips, banners, audio clips, music, and text. Creating animations
usually requires expertise with authoring programs.
| Examples of Uses |
Fractals, cartoons, promotional materials or films, demonstrations of
concepts or scale |

| Requirements for Using it on a
Computer |
To run animations through a Web browser, you will need to download the Macromedia Shockwave
Player (it's free). The computer should be high end (Pentium-class PC or Macintosh
PowerPC) with a fast connection to the Web (T1 or at least a 56K modem). The browser
should be Java enabled, and the computer should be equipped with speakers and a sound
card. |

| Requirements for Using it to
Create Materials |
Animations require a high level of expertise in graphic design and
programming and are costly and time-consuming to produce. (More information about programs
used to create animations may be found in authoring programs). |
