 * I Face The Wall Of Life:**

=**Kodu!!** = On behalf of the Orefield Middle School team we would like to make it known that Kodu, a computer programming game that involves users using tools to create and shape a video game they and others may play, can be used in the classroom as a fun and innovative tool to teach students young and old. For example, its terrain generation capabilities would be very useful in a Social Studies class, where teachers could portray the surroundings of the lessons they are teaching, showing students how life differed back then. In addition, English teachers could create settings for the novels their students are reading, enrapturing and immersing their growing minds. = =
