GAME MAKER

Game Maker is quite an interesting piece of technology that allows users to actually create games themselves. It enables users and students to construct, deconstruct and use mathematical skills in one program. after using this innovation I found it quite difficult to navigate and understand what it was i had to do. In the whole construction section, there are many elements such as your character (clown or ghost), music, creating your wall and timing etc.

As you can imagine it is VERY time consuming, and even at the completion of our individual game, I wasn't thrilled with what was created unfortunately.
in the classroom I believe this technology would need to be well researched and used by the teacher or a student before the rest of the class started using it. In saying this, technologically advanced student most probably would thrive on something of this nature. So all in all, teachers should be careful when incorporating this into the classroom, but not be opposed to the idea either!
