Dipping My Toe In The Water

On Wednesday I embarked upon the NWN adventure with my S1 class. I am a 'Second Generation' teacher, having not attended the course at Heriot Watt University but been trained and mentored by the 'Games Masters' in my department who did attend.

Excitement was in the air and with only two problems - one machine suddenly switching itself off and another not having the DVD inserted at the start - they were all eagerly exploring their new world.

My first objective was just to let the students play about with the game, to get a good understanding of the program. This went quite well, with some students working together and others working alone.

The class were so involved in the task, we almost missed the bell!

So far - so good...

  1. I think almost missing the bell is an excellent sign, and that's before you introduce the toolset, which is when the really exciting stuff begins!

    Good luck - I'm delighted that you are on board as '2G' participant, and look forward to following your story as the project unfolds.
