The Recorded session on Friday: http://experts.adobeconnect.com/p2amq7wudby/

Description: Get more information from Thibault Imbert and Diana Helander on the upcoming Adobe Game Developer Tools, available in the Adobe Creative Cloud. ActionScript, C/C++ and Unity game developers can now develop, optimize performance and deliver desktop and mobile games to the broadest audience using a common code base and with a familiar tool chain. Included are new tools (e.g., Adobe Scout aka Project Monocle) as well as a single collection of resources (frameworks, SDKs, learning resources) to help you build, optimize and deliver games faster for the browser or mobile apps. Whether you’re new to game development or an old hand, the Adobe Game Development Tools can help you get your games to market more quickly.

CASTA emailed me about: The NCLab team released a new version of the visual programming course Adventures of Karel the Robot. The new edition has beautiful graphics, new games, improved autograding, and student progress tracking.

The course is suitable for grades 4 and up. It begins from zero and leads all the way to custom commands, variables, Python lists, and recursion. It teaches algorithmic thinking and prepares students for a smooth transition to Python programming. More details about the course and sample screenshots can be found at https://nclab.com/karel-story/.

K-12 teachers may request free access to the course by filling a simple online form athttps://nclab.com/freeaccess/.
