Connected Students @ Connected Learning
On Wednesday a group of students from our school (Belmore South PS) – including 3 AllStars – represented us at the “Connected Learning Conference” at the Novotel Hotel at Brighton.
The students formed a panel to discuss their experiences using GameMaker to make digital games.
Students demonstrated their completed games, walked through how to make a game, and held a panel discussion about the value of making games in class, the educational benefits, what they learned, and their thoughts on game making. The students even answered questions from the audience.
The response from the teachers and educators in the audience was positive- and the students were professional, passionate, articulate and impressive.
Congratulations to everyone involved – you are a credit to youselves, your families and your school – thank you.

Looks great Kim. Great to see you continuing the great work that you have been doing. Maybe we can get some kind of link happening with some of the kids who are using Gamemaker in Scotland? Now an exchange visit would really just cap it off! All the best for now.
