[Yr7-10it] Game maker text

Thu Sep 17 14:25:15 EST 2009

I feel spoilt on this topic about game-maker...why?  Well, lets just say some of my middle school students(males) REALLY are into their games...some  moreso on the programming side.  Plus, the internet is always a fabbo resource too!  I call them my bunch of computer nerds..they love that tag!

I am teaching a year 10 Games programming unit next year for the first time.

Does anyone use a student text for Game Maker or are the inline tutorials sufficient?

Thanks

Hi Jason, I had questions re: gamemaker last year and after emailing Roland Gesthuizen and Tony Forster, they very kindly forwarded these responses and sites. I'm not sure if all of the links still work, but it may be worth a shot.

Thanks again Tony & Roland for being so helpful at the time!

Cheers,

Janette Bennie (still a CRT who may retire as the only teacher who ever decided to be a professional CRT - and loving it!!!).

	Tony Forster would have a better copy to give you. Send him a copy if you have any ideas for changes etc. I will drop him a note Janette, glad you liked the PD :-)

	Hi Roland,

	Last year I attended a great PD you ran on Gamemaker for Beginners at Westhall SC. I believe Tony Foster was there also.
	We each received a set of notes.

	I am a CRT who regularly teaches some grade 5/6 students who are quite "into" computers. I've told them about gamemaker and promised to put some stuff together for them. 

	Are the notes we received at your PD copyright protected, or am I able to photocopy them for some of these kids? I know there's heaps of stuff in the archives on edulists which I plan on searching through also.

	Looking forward to hearing from you, and thanks for all of your contributions to the edulists. 

	Kind regards,
	Janette Bennie
