Awesome GIMP Image Editing Work by Year 8

Last term I have been teaching image editing tools and techniques to my year 8 students (12-13 years old). We have used GIMP (similar to the well-known Photoshop). I am very happy with the outcome and students had fun learning :D

Below you can find a small showcase of the work they have done.

Student beats teacher!

Recently I showed my students one of the best typing games I have found online: Typing Attack. We spent a lesson playing the game, which is great at improving typing speed while having fun. They loved it :D It was a great surprise when one of my students, a 12 year old boy, did 67.3 WPM (words per minute). I can do around 50-60 WPM and I am his teacher... He beated me! Congratulations RM!! :)

Trip to Escuela de Ciencia - Programning Videogames - 3-4 November 2015

In the Padlet Wall below you will find all the games that our kids created in just a 3 hour workshop using Stencyl. Instead of their names, only the initials are shown for obvious reasons.

Click on one of the boxes to load the game. You have to click on the scene to be able to play. Use the arrow keys to move and jump. You have to save the pink alien! Don't touch the boss! :D

Have fun!
