We worked a lot on getting our blogs and wikis in order and up to date. Still have some more to do but progress is evident. Highlight was our first exposure to Flash (wow, an unintended pun) and working on the mini-game project. It took far longer to accomplish even part of this project than I had anticipated. We all had problems with our codes and even direct copy/paste didn't always solve the problems. But, as a educator, it was an incredible experience to see the students working by themselves and together in groups to solve their problems. Certainly the most student-centered experience I have ever witnessed. Special kudos go to Howard and Gary for sharing their solutions and providing explanations for us all!
Coming up this week will be more work on the mini-game and discussions around game ideas.
Can't wait for the next class. Hopefully, we do not have problems with the coding this time.
