This semester I started the video game unit a little differently. Last time I introduced tools instead of introducing the concept of good storytelling. The first week was dedicated to learning the key elements of a good video game and having designers brainstorm their own characters/avatars, rewards, enemies/obstacles, and more. This week we are focusing on two tools - Bloxels and Pixicade.
Here is the introduction Edpuzzle to Pixicade which now I need to update because of the awesome updates that are happening in the app. |

Pixicade has started to collect the best of the best in their Adventure section of the app. Designers love the choices of different ways to create using paper and markers. The downside is that we can't put Pixicade on their iPads because of the limitations of a QR code. Currently we are working with 6 class iPads which is a challenge with a larger class. |
