PowerPoint Games - Day Two

It's important to know a little bit of background on the PowerPoint games project before we begin. Dr. Lloyd Rieber - a professor in my department - wrote a paper on this very topic that is an interesting read. Many EDIT 2000 students have created their own games and more and more K-12 classrooms are using PowerPoint games as a way to address content standards through constructionism. I'll share some stories from these projects in class. You'll want to view some sample games from the Homemade PowerPoint Games website and from student portfolios from previous semesters and student examples from this summer.

After viewing several, you'll want to get started on your game. You'll need to look over the project assignment and write the story for your game - this is due at the beginning of class on Monday.

For Monday:
1. Write the story for your game.
