Week 16 - Gaming II Presentations Day One

This week, on Wednesday, three of my students presented their Game Presentations. Bagh Nakh Kora, James0208, and KraZy's presentations were outstanding. I am so proud of the progress my students have made this semester, and the whole throughout the whole Globaloria experience. I have seen some amazing first-hand growth on my students' part. Below are links to some of the final team pages if you would like to see for yourself:

Week 15 - Project Deliverable Three Due

Students are attempting get all assignments done before Friday's deadline. We had a lottery to see find the sequence order for the Gaming Presentations that will take place at the end of the semester. There will be seven presentations, so we are spreading the presentations out over two class periods. Next week is "Dead Week", a week that students have to prep for Final Exams. I plan on have the students do impromptu presentations on Monday to practice for the real presentations that will take place Wednesday, April 28 and Friday, May 7.

Week 13 - A light at the end of the tunnel

This weekend, I graded all the topics covered in the Project Deliverable Two. At this point, my students still have two required game-related Flash topics to deliver in a couple of weeks for Project Deliverable Three. With the five combined game-realted topics that will have been created this semester, the students should be able to deliver a functional, if not complete, demo of their game at the end of the semester.

Week 12 - Work week before Project Deliverable Two is due

This is the first week back from Spring Break, and my students are getting all of their files uploaded, linked in, etc. in anticipation of the deadline for Project Deliverable Two. This Project Deliverable wraps up all the individual topics covered in the Globaloria gaming wiki, and simply leaves a push for the student's last two game-related topics and the Game Demo itself! Hope to see you at the Publishing Your Game finish line!
