Animaker, Make Animated Explainers for free

Animaker, Make Animated Explainers for free | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From www.animaker.com - September 22, 2014 10:22 PM
Animaker.com is a cloud-based do-it-yourself (#DIY) video making app that is bringing studio quality professional animation tools within reach of everyone.
Beth Dichter's insight:

Animaker is a new DIY video making tool that has many great features. You can check out their website and sign up to get an account (although it may take a few weeks). Compared to many of the other tools out that allow you to create animations, Animaker is more robust, providing more features for you to explore. Check it out and have fun creating animations for your students (or have your students create animations for you).

Beyond Minecraft: Games That Inspire Building and Exploration

Beyond Minecraft: Games That Inspire Building and Exploration | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From blogs.kqed.org - November 20, 2013 10:47 PM

"The success and popularity of Minecraft in and out of classrooms is no surprise. It’s one of the best examples of the potential of learning with games because it embraces exploration, discovery, creation, collaboration, and problem-solving while allowing teachers to shepherd play toward any subject area."

Beth Dichter's insight:

Check out a selection of games that will help students explore, create, collaborate and more. The six games discussed are:

* Garry's Mod - learn physics as you play

* Kerbal Space Program - another physics game

* Sound Shapes - designed for PlayStation this is a "puzzle game set to a rich musical soundscape"

* DIY - Find instructions to build a wide variety of items and a community that will support you

* STENCYL - learn to program using "blocks of code" that you may snap together and create games that may be played on a variety of platforms

* CodeAcademy - learn a variety of programming language for free

Do you think students should learn to code? If you do then some of these games will provide them with this skill as well as others that we know are part of gaming. You may want to try some of these with your students.

Great ways to use game-making in education - I love using MineCraft with the senior primary students. It really brings maths into engineering and science!

I chose this article because my partner likes minecraft. It relates because it entertains my partner.
