Scratch Cards

Scratch Cards

The use of the Scratch Cards allowed me to better understand how Scratch actually worked, and what needed to be done to get him (or any other animal) to work correctly. I still have an issue with the first original Scratch that I did because he doesn't move around as well as I think he should, but the rest of the ones that I created this evening seem to do exactly what they're supposed to as noted in the Scratch Cards.

The Scratch Cards caused my board to look like a big mess of animals all moving around at one time, but it was nice to learn how to get the animals to do more than just move left & right, which is what I did for the first Scratch assignment. I didn't know what else to make him do, because I wasn't sure if I was putting together the correct action, but after using these Scratch Cards, I think I'll be able to do a more in-depth Scratch project.

I really haven't given my Game Design project any thought. My only area of expertise is infants, toddler, and preschoolers, so I would prefer to do something that would benefit the preschoolers, or at least gear it toward that age group since that's the age group I'm most familiar in working with. I don't have a specific content specialization such as Math, English, Science, etc. I assume since we need to promote Content Area Learning with this Game Design project that I would need to find an objective related to preschool for which I could accurately design a game.
