Description
Class Experience
This class is taught in English.
1. Students will learn to use critical thinking skills to plan out their video game and make informed decisions using appropriate digital tools and resources. 2. Students will learn to identify and solve authentic problems with their game and figure out a way (investigation) on how to fix them.
Students can finish their projects as homework, if they are not completed in class.
