Todays task was to produce a game for young children using technology, the game had to have an element of teaching, so learning could take place. This game also needed a full set of rules/instructions and children must be able to play this game with at least one other player.
While loading up the computer my mind was on the task at hand, there was so many game ideas whirling around. Trying to find an application to use seem difficult as I was unsure of which one to use, the applications available where difficult to use as I did not have a full understanding of how to use most of them, even though we have been using them throughout this module (clearly, I’m not tech savvy).
After looking at a number of applications I became reluctant to attempt the task at hand, the ideas I initially had of the game I wanted to produce had been replaced with the notion that I could not complete the task. I began to over think the entire complexity of the task and applications available for me to use. In the end I became completely unengaged with the lesson and distracted myself with my phone and other peoples work.
Most students found the task enjoyable and some even managed to produce some well thought out games. I was really impressed.
I really wish I had not lost interest and stuck at this task, maybe I should have just asked for some assistance instead of losing hope. fffff
