Teacher help

When assigning this to your students, there a few things you need to keep in mind. This project is intended for high school students because it involves deep thinking about taking something students know and love and making in into something educational. Students should learn (I hope) cooperative skills. Working in a group is always hard and takes good social skills to make it all go over smoothly. Students should learn what it means to make and give a good presentation, "creating" a video game is all a medium to do this through. Remember, the end goal is for students to give a stimulating lecture to fellow students, no necessarily about making the best video game ever. Before beginning this quest, students should already have knowledge about making and giving a presentation. Also, they should have some experience with working in groups. They will also need experience and knowledge with working with power point. You should give your students a fair amount of computer time, about 1 to 2 hours I would estimate. They need to be able to fully explore the links provided. Additionally they will need time to create a power point presentation, nothing fancy, just the basics of their video game. Grading is always tricky. For this project you could have each group member grade the others on their overall effectiveness in group. Did they all do equal work? For your actual grading, see how well they do on the idea of creating a video game, and how well they presented it to the class. An "A" would be an amazing idea and a great presentation. A "B" would be a good idea and a good presentation. A "C" with be average with respects to both. And a "D" or lower is a group that you could see did not try hard or work together.
