KODU: How can it be used in school?
The Kodu gaming program is a very useful tool to use in the classroom. You can use it to explain and teach students math facts, skills and basic learning. For instance, imagine you are a kindergarten teacher, and your students are having a hard time memorizing which colors are which. You decide you want a fun learning experience which might help them understand it. Well, you could create a game using Kodu to help them memorize. The teacher could change the colors of objects and allow the students to play it and make their character run towards the colored object she commands. Also, in the game you can eat objects and score points. You can keep track of the amount of points they score when playing and eating the objects. Let’s say you permit the points to 10 points for each object they eat. In this way, each student could practice skip counting by 10s while playing the game. Now, you want your students to practice problem solving skills. So, you build an obstacle course and have your students figure a way to pass through the mazes and various other obstacles. This exercise creates a fun activity for the students to use their imagination and work together to solve a problem. You could also create a list of directions for your student's characters to go to in the game so they can practice steps. As you see, this program is a absolutely great tool to use in schools.
