We do Game Maker for a term with our year 10 computer edn class. Our students have to write a game design document using the headings below which is supplied to them in template form. Thanks to Kym, I'll be adapting it for the next class. They are not permitted to start their project until they have submitted their design document. Students are also required to keep a word processed journal on their progress as they develop their game by writing a diary entry in the last few minutes each lesson. This was to assist them in writing an evaluation once the game was completed. Next time I'm hoping to have them create a blog with screen dumps. Having the students write about their project helped to ensure it was their own work.

Has anyone successfully explored paper prototyping as a means of getting them take this part of the process more seriously? Paul --- You are currently subscribed to qsiteict as: [email protected].
