Keep on "WOW"-ing me!

The last couple of weeks, we have had some impressive action from our Game Design II class members.  On February 1, Daniel (along with Wesley) gave a great presentation about their game from Game Design I and their FBLA game which is in progress.  Together, we explained what digital learning is and how students here at Randolph Technical Center can get involved!  Great job Daniel, and thanks for doing that presentation!


This week, Aaron and Dylan did a presentation online with over 30 principals, superintendents, and Globaloria staff about the Career Technical game that they are working on.  While they worried me (and Mrs. Stalnaker) before it started, they made an EXCELLENT presentation, and I was proud to be their teacher.

  Worth noting this week as well, Nick and DJ have an ongoing "Quiet Contest" that is allowing us all to concentrate and work extra hard.  Thanks guys, you have no idea how much we appreciate the reprieve!

This class is fun?

Today as you were working hard, I was looking around in amazement and everyone was on topic, working so diligently to make progress on their topics.  Then at the end of class... all google broke loose.  Google Translate is a cool tool that will translate and/or read aloud words that you type or paste into the translator.  A similar tool is available on the iMac.  When you are playing around with tools online or on the Mac, remember to always keep your game in mind.  Maybe there is a way to record that translation from Google and put it into your game.  If not, remember that Garage Band is available to you for recording your own sounds and music (including voiceover).  This is one of the most fun and creative classes (I mean you guys!) that I have had since I have been teaching this class, and I can't wait to see your final results!
