iPads in Primary Education: Introducing Game Design as Part of an Integrated Project

iPads in Primary Education: Introducing Game Design as Part of an Integrated Project | Bring back UK Design & Technology | Scoop.it
From mrandrewsonline.blogspot.ca - January 27, 3:47 AM

"The opportunities for learning through the use of digital gaming are diverse and massive. The speed and ease in which basic game development can be achieved using apps such as Sketch Nation can provide a platform for outstanding cross-curricular projects and really make an impact on progress, standards and pupil independence. This blog post describes one project (upper KS2) which could easily be adapted to suit Key Stage 1 or expanded to meet the needs of Key Stage 3 pupils, and to support almost any topic/subject. 1:1 use of iPods enabled maximum pupil engagement but fewer devices could have been used if pupils collaborated in groups."
