Play Games or Create Your Own Through YoYo Games
Ok, so even I can admit that my last Blog was kind of boring. I think that some of you are going to love this website. YoYo Games has a tool that lets you develop your own video games. It is called Game Maker 8. There are 3 different versions. A basic free version or a couple different upgrades that aren't very expensive, $50 and $100.
The website also has tons of different games that you can currently play that have been developed by other people. This product sounds like it could be a winner for many of us. No longer will your students complain that assignments are boring and that they only like video games. Now they can create their own video game based on whatever topic you are covering in class. Go check it out.
This sounds pretty cool. Have you made a game yet? If so, how did it work out for you. If you haven't and it is on your "to-do list" you will have to let me know how it works.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool thing! Its great that teachers can make games but students could also make the games up as a project to learn material! My students are always telling me how boring school is and that video games are WAY more fun. This would keep them engaged and learning!
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a great way to engage students in learning, and provides another way for us teachers to assess what they have really learned, as well. I'm going to try this out for sure. I think my son might enjoy this at home, as well.
