Turn to your neighbor and talk about the kind of game you would create, if you could, and what you would learn while you made it.  Use the Post-It Notes to write down the name of your game, and a brief description of the game.  LEAVE POST IT NOTES ON THE TABLE IN THE CENTER OF THE CLASSROOM FOR ME!

Once you have joined, spend time in class today working through the QUEST and initial levels.  You can work on this from any place you have an internet connection.  Once you see how basic game design works, by completing the story-line and levels, you will then be able to put this together with the basic coding we work on later this year.  Take your time and work through this at your own pace.

Enjoy today's fun day, and be ready to work on Google Applications for Education tomorrow!
