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.

• How did the two games handle the issue of homelessness?  Larry seems more realistic and approaches the issue with more sensitivity.
• Do you think one was better than the other? I think Larry is better because it is hands on game play instead of click an answer.
• What would you do to improve either game? Hobo needs to be more hands on and less insulting.  Larry needs a button back to main menu on each game level.
• What kind of a game would you make about this issue? I would like to do research on the percentage of people who get out of homelessness once they enter then do a game that you can only win that percentage of times.

Hello World

I haven't blogged for a long time and since I am an educator maybe I should think about posting more.  It doesn't seem like there are enough hours in a day to get everything done.  My students have been blogging and I enjoy reading their posts.  I learn so much from reading their posts.
