MIT App Inventor
I really believe in teaching students about developing code, especially with mobile apps. You figure a kid designs a popular app, charges $0.99, and make a nice little allowance. In our school district, our Career-Tech track offers computer programming courses. In Computer Programming II, they begin Visual Studio to design games for Xboxes. How awesome [...]

Does not matter if you use a tablet or PC, Apple or [...]

So let’s do some creation. Let’s take pictures. Great, [...]

Rollercoaster Designer
Anyone remember the old Roller Coaster Tycoon games? I LOVED them! As an avid roller coaster fan, building my own amusement park represented the next logical step. I could manage money, build coasters and ride to meet the desires of my ‘guests,’ all within a safe simulation. So of course I used it when I [...]
