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.
Seems like a neat tool - looking forward to learning more about it. Thanks...your blog is a great idea on exposing others to this tool.
ReplyDeleteThanks...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!
ReplyDeleteKodu 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!
ReplyDeleteThanks 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! :)
