[Yr7-10it] educational games

[Costello, Rob R]

Hi Barry, 

 

What sort of games / year levels / approaches /  are you interested in? 

 

Designing games - or some fun / maybe "educationally valid" alternatives
?  

 

(one teacher here loaded a "free time" folder with some flash games that
were more harmless than the first person shooters they often tried to
install - good alternative)   

 

> I  was thinking of doing some myself with flash which i think my maths
kids would like.

 

I tinkered with this recently - not sure flash is the most accessible
coding environment for kids, unless you're going to do it for them .. 

Cheers 

Rob
