I am teaching a year 10 Games programming unit next year for the first time.

Does anyone use a student text for Game Maker or are the inline tutorials
sufficient?

Thanks

Hi Jason, I had questions re: gamemaker last year and after emailing Roland
Gesthuizen and Tony Forster, they very kindly forwarded these responses and
sites. I'm not sure if all of the links still work, but it may be worth a
shot.

Thanks again Tony & Roland for being so helpful at the time!

Cheers,

Janette Bennie (still a CRT who may retire as the only teacher who ever
decided to be a professional CRT - and loving it!!!).

Tony Forster would have a better copy to give you. Send him a copy if you
have any ideas for changes etc. I will drop him a note Janette, glad you
liked the PD :-)

Hi Roland,

Last year I attended a great PD you ran on Gamemaker for Beginners at
Westhall SC. I believe Tony Foster was there also.
We each received a set of notes.

I am a CRT who regularly teaches some grade 5/6 students who are quite
"into" computers. I've told them about gamemaker and promised to put some
stuff together for them. 

Are the notes we received at your PD copyright protected, or am I able to
photocopy them for some of these kids? I know there's heaps of stuff in the
archives on edulists which I plan on searching through also.

Looking forward to hearing from you, and thanks for all of your
contributions to the edulists. 

Kind regards,
Janette Bennie
