It's been a long time since I rock & rolled...

Well I am coming back to life after my post-marching band season coma.  Globaloria has been going well.  Mrs. Franks and I have been able to keep the students pretty well on task.  So far, they have created paper prototypes for their game which they recorded on video and posted to their wiki.  In addition, they have re-created their paper prototypes using flash.  These are also posted on the wiki under the group projects pages under assets. 

Next class period, we plan to have the students working on the Planning Your Game lesson.  We would really like the students to be able to take their laptops home to work on their games, but we are still trying to resolve the issue of being able to sign into the computers away from the school network.  Once we take care of this, we should open up more opportunities for the students to work outside of class.

Again, all is going well.  Hopefully, I'll be able to get myself to blog more often once again...

Until next time.

Flash Day 1

Today our students completed tutorials on flash in the Imagining Your Game topic.  The students had opportunities to play with flash and try out the drawing tools.  However, we do not have flash on our classroom desktop computer which is hooked to the SmartBoard projector, so we were not able to do any class demonstrations.  Hopefully we'll have this all worked out by next class on Monday.  Also, I am trying to work out getting a Flash license for my Mac.  

Looking Forward to Next Time..

Finally back on!

Ok,  I feel kind of stupid.  I haven't been posting for a while now because I was having trouble logging onto the blog.  All I had to do was reset my browser.  Well, I'm back on now.  We sent in our first progress reports in yesterday.  I saw Abbey's after I had already sent mine.  She did such a good job on the student progress reports.  Mine were so plain and hers were so descriptive.  I'll have to do better next time.

On other news, our school got Flash this week.  Unfortunately, I still don't have a working license on my MacBook.  I'll have to get that figured out soon.

Glad to be posting again...
