Everyone plan on bringing your laptop to Maze Day with your game installed and ready to run. We’re going to need all the computers we can get!

I invite discussion of the video and the issues around learning disabilities.

I hope you are as excited about your projects and Maze Day as I am! This is going to be great. I think your projects are going to be a ton of fun. But… We’ve got very little time remaining to bring all this together.

Here is my understanding of who is doing what. Correct me if I’m wrong:

I’d like to talk to each team for about 1 hour outside class as soon as possible. Check my calendar and propose an open time that works for you to me via email. My “prep” time on Tuesday and Thursday is available for this purpose.

I’d like each time to post to the blog a description of your project. After you’re logged in you all should have the ability to post new articles. Just put them in the Projects category like this one. In your description I want to know what need from me (equipment, software, information, help).

Up to 3 sign up below to go to lunch after class on Tuesday.

I hesitate to say “game” because that, to me, implies some objective. My definition is probably too limited.

Here is a link to the Electroplankton music game/toy I mentioned in class. Please post other links to find to things like this.
