-
"This week, Blizzard tightened up its procedures to ensure compliance with these laws, and players connecting from the affected nations are restricted from access to Blizzard games and services," read the statement. Unfortunately, said Blizzard, the same sanctions meant it could not give refunds to players in Iran or help them move their account elsewhere. "We apologise for any inconvenience this causes and will happily lift these restrictions as soon as US law allows," it added. Although the block on Wow has been imposed by Blizzard, other reports suggest a wider government ban might have been imposed. Players of Wow and other games, including Guild Wars, said when they had tried to log in they had been redirected to a page saying the connection had been blocked because the games promoted "superstition and mythology". Blizzard said it had no information about Iranian government action against online games.

Game Maker is a much more complex - and hard to learn - tool than Kodu, but the kinds of games you can make with it are more varied, too.

It was originally, but now you can download it for Windows. I /believe/ you can then export your games to a public platform as well, but they may only be available to others with Kodu installed.

For Windows? That changes things a great deal.

"These are middle schoolers building mobile, place-based games with ARIS, taking advantage of the game editor's powerful new re-design and one science educator's trust in letting his students demonstrate what and how they learn."

Very cool. I appreciate that he takes the time in the video interview to lay out how one could take a more standard pedagogical model - his "5E" model (which I had not heard of before) - and augment/alter parts of it to incorporate the new technological elements he's interested in having his students explore.

Student blog - note seamlessness of experience between movie and game story lines.

Say more, Ed. Do you think that seamlessness is part of the global imaginary now?
-
I think it is becoming less remarkable to treat game worlds and storylines as similar to/comparable to/continuous with longer-established media such as movies, novels etc. I don't know whether it's generational, or just longevity of the medium. Maybe the technology has grown to allow more complex/complete world depictions.
