[Yr7-10it] Crocodile Clips ICT & Gamemaker Assessment

[Lloyd M Mill]

I am currently taking a semester unit of Programming with about 20 year 9 girls. The software I am using is new to me (& the students) so we are experimenting. Unfortunately the School requires an end of year exam and graded assessment.

Does anyone have an assessment sheet or task for Gamemaker? I don't know the software well enough to create my own & for numerous reasons I haven't had time to learn it fully. So please don't jump on me or reply with a philosophical discussion on the pros & cons of assessment.

Last term we used Crocodile Clips ICT which is software I came across in the UK last January. Students can construct flowcharts that control things, mainly a couple dancing. Gave a great introduction to concepts like flow of control, subroutines, variables etc. Has anyone else used the software? I've not seen any mention of it. I'm hoping that it adds a little more formality/structure than just Gamemaker alone.
