Hello,

Today we will begin to look at Edge Animate. For this you need to have signed up for a free Adobe user ID. You are then able to download and install a free version of the software onto your computer. Once installed, take the application from the applications folder and drop it on to your thumb drive. We will be running the application off of your thumb drive in class.
