Playing with Kodu from Microsoft FUSE Labs

For my final project in my EDTC 6340 course, I will be examining the Kodu program from Microsoft Fuse Labs. You can find the program and download it for free at http://fuse.microsoft.com/projects-kodu.html.

It did take a few minutes for the program to download but I am exicted to play with it and figure out how to incorporate it into my technology classes.

Per the website: WHAT IS KODU?
Kodu is a visual programming language made specifically for creating games. It is designed to be accessible for children and enjoyable for anyone. Kodu is a free download for the PC – download it today.

I will post blogs as I learn and use the program. Feel free to subscribe to my blog to follow my attempt at mastering this game making program.

  2. Thanks...I have been very excited with everything that I have seen so far. I am doing some interviews right now with teachers that use this within their classrooms. I can't wait to share everything with you!

  3. Kodu sounds awesome! I have never used it but have heard of it and heard it is great. I wish I had more time in my day to be able to teach a programming language of sorts and of course learn it first. Maybe someday. I am excited to see your findings so I can learn it as well and I look forward to following the progress!

  4. Thanks Kari! I can't wait to share all the info I have with my fellow students. I have a feeling everyone will want to go create their own video game as soon as possible! :)
