Hi All, 

Join colleagues in this hands-on animation workshop then return to your classroom and share these skills with your students while delivering curriculum outcomes. 

This is an introductory session on Adobe Flash. We will be working with CS5 but most of the skills can be applied to earlier versions of Flash. The session will go through the basics of how to make a simple animation. 

After completion of this session you will have enhanced skills and may also wish to enter your students in the 2011 3in6 video competition to be held on 12th May .

Hi colleagues,

VITTA has just released a new series of Maze Game Resources for Game Maker:


*         Game Maker: Maze Game Bulk Pack (http://www.vitta.org.au/resourceshop/id/105/cid/1/parent/0//t/resourceshop/title/GM++Maze+Games+Bulk+Pack<http://www.vitta.org.au/resourceshop/id/105/cid/1/parent/0/t/resourceshop/title/GM++Maze+Games+Bulk+Pack>)

*         Game Maker: Maze Games Explained (http://www.vitta.org.au/resourceshop/id/106/cid/1/parent/0//t/resourceshop/title/GM++Maze+Games+Explained<http://www.vitta.org.au/resourceshop/id/106/cid/1/parent/0/t/resourceshop/title/GM++Maze+Games+Explained>)

*         Game Maker: A Two Player Maze Game (http://www.vitta.org.au/resourceshop/id/107/cid/1/parent/0//t/resourceshop/title/GM%3A+A+Two+Player++Maze+Game<http://www.vitta.org.au/resourceshop/id/107/cid/1/parent/0/t/resourceshop/title/GM%3A+A+Two+Player++Maze+Game>)

The resources come with step-by-step instructions, screenshots and demonstration files. Maze Games Explained has been written to introduce Game Maker and programming to students with very little experience and was successfully tested by a student in grade 3! A Two Player Maze Game is designed for students with some experience in Game Maker and would benefit students who are thinking about studying VCE IT.

For screenshots, take a look at the VITTA resource shop.

Happy game making :)

Nathanial thanks for your useful games resources (there aren't too many
around).  Last year you were in charge of running the games competition
which would have entered, only it was too late to change the student's own
game production because the theme was not known.  I would like my current
crop of students to enter this year's competition, so are you able to tell
me what the theme might be this year please?

Thanking you in anticipation.

Hi Con,

The theme will be announced at the start of term 2 and the due date for this year will be the 1st of August.

I won't be running the YAGAs this year as am completing masters study but I will still be involved and run some PL  workshops with a YAGAs theme.

Regards,

Nat

Subject: [edugames] 3in6/1in6 is now in May
Message-ID: <52998.114.78.182.148.1301208437.squirrel@mail.strathcona.vic.edu.au>

Hi folks

Due to bringing forward the VITTA conference to August, we have moved the
3in6 date to Thursday 12th May (Term 2, Week 3).

This date is well away from senior assessment and reporting periods, which
has been a criticism of 3in6 in the past and the main reason why Year 12
students have found it very difficult to be involved.

If you look at the 3in6 website (www.3in6.vitta.org.au), you will notice
that we have changed the competition this year and incorporated 3in6 with
1in6. They are now the same competition with the same rules, the only
difference is that each team needs to decide if they are producing a 3
minute short film or a 1 minute short animation within 6 hours on the 12th
May.

The other change this year is that schools will be allowed to enter more
than one team per age group category if they wish.

With only 5 school weeks to go, make sure you chat to your students and
register your teams via the website ASAP.

Let you teacher networks know about the change to help generate greater
interest in what is always a fabulous educational challenge each year.

Regards

Dr Tim Kitchen
(Coordinator of 3in6/1in6)
