Game Maker

Game Maker is an innovation which allows users to create their own games.
I had difficulty creating my own game and I think considering my own experience with computers that primary school children would have the same difficulties. However once the skills are mastered I believe that Game Maker may be helpful in engaging students. Game Maker is free to download from http://www.yoyogames.com/make. I’m unsure whether I would use this in my classroom as its educational benefits are limited however I think once students have mastered the skills required they would love using it and it would be great for reward or free time and therefore a fabulous motivation for good behaviour.
