Imagine Create Play Share Reflect Imagine

1. Watch the Creativity Cycle from this video of actual Vermont students developing a game using Scratch.  Their actual Scratch game can be played on line  or downloaded at the bottom of this page.

    We provided a learning climate that helped them imagine

    Discussion about game elements of how to incorporate a WIN state and a LOSE state into their game narrative

    They went through a storyboarding process to develop the game narrative.

    They used Scratch to create a prototype of their game

    They Shared their game with peers to get feedback.

    They reflected, made changes.

    They started to imagine a sequel.
