Playing to Learn

I learned that I have lots to learn.  I know I want my game to be fun but I also want to make sure that you learning while you play.  I think the educational value is very important but I still want it to be fun.  It may be hard to make it balance but I would like to try.

My name is Denise and I am a teacher at Randolph Technical Center.  I have worked with Globaloria the last 9 years which is amazing!  This have given me an opportunity to watch the program grow and change.  I hope to continue to watch it grow and change in our county.

Training in Austin

Today has been the first day of training in Austin and the teachers have been great!  They are fast learners and have been reasonably calm about the connection issues.  I just like hearing and seeing teachers try new things in their classroom that will benefit students.  Globaloria is a program that sometimes takes teachers out of their comfort zone but is great for kids.

Play to Learn

Reflect on what you learned by playing these games. What kind of ideas did you get for your own game?  I enjoyed playing the games but realized playing Kitty Math that I need to brush up on some of my math skills.  I want a list of items that disappear as you find them, scoring, and decoy items. 

Course Overview

What are you most excited to work on during this course? I am excited to learn ActionScript 3.0.  It is important for me as a teacher to continue to learn and improve my skills.  I hope that it won't be a lot different then AS 2.0.  I would really like to build a game that would impress my students.
