The graphics aspects of creating a game were still bothering me. I know of people who have gamified their classroom with almost no graphics, so they aren’t essential. However, in my readings, most recently Kapp’s\u00a0The Gamification of Learning and Instruction<\/a>\u00a0<\/em> by Karl M. Kapp, the aesthetics of a game do affect engagement. \u00a0Since I am creating games to engage kids, it seems I should not overlook that aspect entirely.<\/p>\n

In an earlier post I shared my idea to hire someone to create some basic graphics. \u00a0I still like that idea and would like it for my big tech game. \u00a0However, in the mean time, I’ve decided to work on a smaller game that is needed more immediately. My husband’s class will pilot the project. While we were on holiday last week I enjoyed thinking about how the game might be structured. \u00a0I must have been working on it in my sleep because I awoke early one morning with two ideas.<\/p>\n
