  1. Game Design Mr. Gebhart

  2. What is Game Design? The art of applying design and aesthetics to create a game to facilitate interaction between players for variety of reasons, including entertainment, medical, and educational.

  3. Class Goals By the end of the class, all students should be able to: • Create computer games using Game Maker. • Design and code programs using a variety of resources. • Solve problems using algorithmic processes. • Debug programs using systematic methods. • Understand how computers process information such as pictures and sounds. • Work on projects collaboratively. • Design 2D artwork for a variety of game genres. • Describe basic narrative structure, such as three-act, hero’s journey, and character archetypes.

  4. Websites • All of the assignments will be posted and submitted at Google Classroom: http://classroom.google.com • This is where all assignments will be posted and where students will submit all their assignments.

  5. Using Google Classroom Click on the appropriate class

  6. Announcements and important files are listed in the class stream

  7. Assignments are listed on the classwork page Student must view assignment to get worksheet or turn in assignment

  8. Assignment resources • Student worksheet • Button to turn in the assignment

  9. On the classwork page, you can click “VIEW YOUR WORK” to see a summary of assignments • Assignment has a general comment, usually incomplete • Assignment that has not been turned in

  10. Click on student work to see comments about specific questions • General comment found here

  11. Comments will appear on sidebar. Click on them to highlight the text that the comment refers to.

  12. Parent Survey • Hopefully, most parent/guardians have taken the survey by now. • If you haven’t please check out my teacher website for a link

  13. Useful Items • These items are useful, but not required • Ruler • Headphones/Earbuds • Antibacterial lotion

  14. Class Procedure • All assignments and important dates are written on the back board. • Due dates are also posted online. • Assignments are completed in class, only homework would be if students don’t finish in class.

  15. Grade Posts • Assignment grades will be posted at Google Classroom first, with comments. • Once I am done grading an assignment, these grades will be transferred to PowerSchool. • PowerSchool has the final grade, the one that will be put in progress and final grade reports.

  16. Incomplete Assignments • If a student does not turn in their work, the assignment will be given an “Missing”. • If a student does not fully complete their assignments to the best of their abilities, the assignment will be given an “Needs Revisions. • Any student that has at least one incomplete will have an incomplete grade in the class, indicating that I cannot give the student a grade that reflects their ability without seeing all of the work for the trimester.

  17. Incomplete Assignments • Students with incompletes will be expected to make up their work as soon as possible. • Students may turn in work at any time, up to the end of the trimester, with no penalty, including students who are resubmitting incomplete assignments. There will be no late deductions or penalties for turning in work after the time the student is given in class.

  18. Incomplete Assignments • Assignments will be “due” on the last day that students have to work on the assignment in class. • This “due” date is only to indicate the amount of time students were given to complete the assignment in class.

  19. Incomplete Assignments • Students who do not complete assignments in a timely manner will be asked to fill out an Assignment Reminder Form. • This form will ask students about what they plan to do to make up the work. • Parents will be emailed a copy of the form once complete.

  20. Incomplete Assignments • Students who turn in assignments that were previously marked incomplete will be asked to fill out an Assignment Complete Form. • This form will ask students to reflect on how they can improve their assignment turn in. • Parents will be emailed a copy of the form once complete.

  21. Questions? • If you have any questions or concerns, the best way to reach me is through email at: • dgebhart@fcusd.org • Donations: • If you are interested in donating supplies, we could use antibacterial lotion and old flash drives.

  22. Robotics / Computer Science Mr. Gebhart

  23. What are robotics and computer science? • Computer science is the study of the principles and use of computers. • Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots.

  24. Class Goals By the end of the class, all students should be able to: • Describe the purpose of automation and robotics and its effect on society. • Apply knowledge of mechanisms to solve a unique problem for speed, torque, force, or type of motion. • Describe the purpose of pseudocode and comments within a computer program. • Design, build, wire, and program both open and closed loop systems. • Use motors and sensors appropriately to solve robotic problems. • Troubleshoot a malfunctioning system using a methodical approach. • Explain the roles and responsibilities of mechanical, electrical, and computer engineers who solve robotic problems.

  25. Project Lead The Way • This class is run through Project Lead The Way (PLTW) which is a nationwide career-focused STEM curriculum. • Students will solve real-world problems and apply the engineering and design process to their thinking and end products.

  26. Websites • All of the assignments will be posted and submitted at Google Classroom: http://classroom.google.com • This is where all assignments will be posted and where students will submit all their assignments.
