Kodu Camp: Day 1

One of the biggest problems is trying to get students to remember to come Monday morning.  It is so
important that they come at the beginning to get the introductory instructions.   Someone suggested today that I meet with them the Friday before to remind them to come.  I may try that next time.

We started with the presentation about what makes a good game and they nodded in agreement throughout.  I am not sure how much they internalized of it, but I will be referring back to it as I conference with the students about their games.  They did love the fact they were free to go create and not have to follow a certain set of instructions.

They set out to begin the tutorials and some followed directions better than others.  I could tell quickly those that did and those that did not by the questions I began to get.  

I am very curious to see what we can actually get accomplished by the end of the week!

Tomorrow's plan is to:

• Collect their video game plans
• walk around and conference with each student as they build their game

I should have a better idea tomorrow as to how this new plan is going.
