Games, Games and More Games
Check out the following link to explore some complex, interactive games! The great thing about these games is that playing them is a Win, Win situation for you! You win because you are playing games. Your parents win because you are learning! :)

“Serious Games” are video-style games designed to engage young people with 3D graphics and challenging game play while teaching complex concepts. Many of these games need to be downloaded to your computer; check the minimum specifications before downloading. We have also included some less complex “Online Games” that can be played on most web browsers, in shorter periods of time, and by younger students.

Welcome to Quarter 4!
To introduce themselves to the class, my Computer Applications Grade 7 students used Toondoo. They chose a 4 square vertical layout and in each square they had a different topic.
Square 1: Their Family
Square 2: Their Interests/Hobbies, etc...
Square 3: Somewhere they would like to visit
Square 4: Their goals/dreams
Visit the Computer Application 7 link at the top of my blog to check out some of their work! :)
