[Year 12 SofDev] App Inventor issue

Mon Jun 18 12:45:09 EST 2012

hi all,

I was wondering if anyone had experienced any issues using app inventor ( http://www.appinventor.mit.edu/ )

over a school network ie via proxy server.

It works beautifully at home, but the Blocks editor fails to load the project at school.

Any ideas?

thanks

Hi Xin,

I don’t have teaching experience with Java, but with regards to Gamemaker, a few places to start

·         Nat Brawshaws tutorials – available from Vitta

·         The GameMakers Apprentice – some good bookstores, or Amazon

·         The official tutorails http://sandbox.yoyogames.com/make/tutorials - my groups have usually done the first 4 in a term and then design their own game based on a combination of those.

Hope this helps

Regards

Damien

Hi everyone,

I am planning for  my Year 9 IT Game maker and Year 11 Java programming next semester. I haven't taught both before. Any teaching idea? Have anyone taught Java  before? Any resource to share?

Thanks,

Hi folks,

                At 154 pages it's a bit of a slog, but it's worth a glance over and/or the executive summary at least
