Day 20 - PowerPoint Game 4

After demonstrating how to make action buttons, let's talk about your game board. There are two ways to make the game board. One is to use your hand, the other is to use computer to draw a game board. If you choose to use your hand, you will need to scan your game board. The instruction will give it to you next week. If you want to draw the game board with computer, you can draw it in PowerPoint (one letter size) or your can draw it in Firework (as large as you want). This is your option to learn to use Firework to draw the board. There are two parts of your game that ensure students will want to use it for learning: the story and the level of questions. You want to make sure that you have an engaging story - and you also want to make sure that your game is the right level of challenge. Factual level questions are too easy (and boring) regardless of the grade level you are targeting. We'll spend time in class on Monday learning how to write good questions.

For Next Monday's class:
1. By now, you should have finished the basic slides, including first slide, story, objectives, credits, copyright notice.
2. Begin creating the game board
3. Write 3 questions to use in your game, print it out, and bring it to the class.
