Math gamesThese games were built using Scratch, a computer programming language from MIT. Students learned programming and math while showcasing their creativity in designing the game.
Science games and other games
Students were given a series of programming challenges that they worked on their own using Scratch. This included movement with arrow keys and a maze. They were surprised at their ability to problem solve and program these tasks with no outside help. Some classes converted these programming challenges into a simple Science themed game.
Not all students were able to complete this project due to time constraints.
Google Sites - e-Portfolios
Students used Google Sites to create an e-Portfolio to showcase their projects.
Individual student sites are accessible only with a LASD login.
