"Drawing a Scene" activity

We were told in our drawing a scene course to list a new idea or concept I've learned about my game topic since I started this course and in all honesty I really haven't learned anything new about the B.P. oil spill. Ever since we started the "Drawing a Scene" course I've just been focused on learning everything I can about flash like what tool does what, how to draw on it, how to add animation, and a bunch of other stuff. I've learned a lot from the tutorials on the wiki and the video tutorials on Adobe tv though. They're very reliable because they're made to help us understand how to work flash. Why would any one want to mislead us with wrong information especially since they were made by the Globaloria team and the company that make the flash player.
