Try this site as an example of a triva game that might be fun. www.kineticcity.com/missions/nutrition/

Students want me to spoon feed the code for each and every step in the design of their game. I demonstrated how, I learn the code by watching the tutorial video, as an example I used the video in the Animation Section, on buttons; and then pausing the video, completing the steps demonstrated, restarting the video, and so on. Some of the students understood the process and were able to complete the tasks; however others just gave up. I will demonstrate one more time in hopes of having students learn the concept of self-teaching.

Your Games

Tell me the name of your team, the members and the subject of your game. Research sites that pertain to your chosen topic; each member of the team must list at least three differing sites and the URL links in your blog roll. Let me know three interesting facts, that you did not previously know, about your subject.

Blogs assignments

Your assignment is to view every one's blog and comment to their last post. Each week you will complete a reflection post of the weeks activities and any problems you encountered. You will be responsible to responding to three of your classmates blog assignments on each Friday, with positive reinforcement. If possible, try to solve a problem your classmate may have encountered. You must pick different classmates each week. Have fun and good luck. Please respond to this blog to let me know you have reviewed the current assignment.
