[Sugar-devel] GPA Class Notes July 22 - GS

[Greg Smith]

Hi Walter,

That looks cool. Will it allow the kids to make the games they described?

The hardest one may be the last. From the screen shot, it looks like
you don't need to learn a lot of Turtle logic to play the game but you
may need to learn it to create new games.

Do you plan to use this new game type in class tomorrow?

I'll see you then.

Thanks,

Greg S

Well, I couldn't help myself:

It was pretty easy to code in Turtle Art :)

>> Walter has given the kids a challenge to make their own game. They
>> came up with 6 examples of games they want to make:
>> 1.  Guatemala. Departments numbered and corresponding to images on the map.
>> 2. Sports team logos in the US. Then find the state or city for each team.
>> 3. Presidents. Match pictures of presidents with names.
>> 4. Presidents mashup (word used by kid!). Take a jumbled up a list of
>> pictures of presidents and put them in order.
>> 5. Countries and states in North America.
>> 6. "Find me". Start with an animation of a spinning globe. Find north
>> america and show that. Find US, find MA, Find Boston, Find Allston,
>> Find Gardner Pilot Academy. One kid yelled out then find the desk in
>> the office.
