Does teaching students to create their own video games help them learn? Please read the following article from FORBES Magazine:
Turn to your parents or someone at home and talk about the kind of game you would create, if you could, and what you would learn while you made it.

Today you will spend some time working on GAMESTAR MECHANIC! This is an introductory program to teach the basics of creating video games. Please use the link below to join our class:

Once you have joined, spend time in class today working through the QUEST and initial levels. You can work on this from any place you have an internet connection. Once you see how basic game design works, by completing the story-line and levels, you will then be able to put this together with the basic coding we work on later this year. Take your time and work through this at your own pace.
Enjoy today's fun day, and be ready to work on Google Applications for Education next week!
