- 14. Are we making students dependent? Are we teaching the test? Can students perform at a workforce ready level? Challenge students Do not make them dependent on your help! Prepare them as life long learners How do we do this?????
- 15. 4G Classroom 4G is a new educational model to provide project based learning models into frequent use. Develops work place ready skills and inspires success through strategies used to make games addictive. •Goal •Gather •Go •Glory
- 16. 4G Classroom Goal • Objectives • End Product • What you are expected to be able to do? • Were will students be when finished? Achievement Based
- 17. 4G Classroom Gather • Required materials • Skills • Knowledge • Training (reading, modeling, guided practice, etc.) Loot Based
- 18. 4G Classroom Go • Get to work • Creating the end product • Manage and support the process – not the people. (independent practice, team project, application and synthesis level activity) Adventure Based

- 40. Activity 3-4:Physical Dexterity Puzzle Objective: Students will be able to construct a simple puzzle game. Students will demonstrate hyperlink and mouse over game features. Students will use a variety of tools to build games. Students will understand the benefits of a physical dexterity training game. Situation: The Really, Really Cool Game Company needs to create a few puzzle games to teach users how to correctly use a stylus (digital pen) on a handheld organizer. Your team will create a prototype sample puzzle to test the concept of a hand-eye coordination training game. Each team member will create a different maze concept.

- 90. Eliminate IDK.
- 91. Learning Enhanced with “Error Inclusion” Directions Unlike other curriculum, I find value in errors. Without putting errors in the directions, students never learn how to problem solve for the solutions. That is why common errors are left in place, tested and then explained how to fix. Next time the students encounters a similar error, they will have tools to fix the problem and not rely on you to help.
