The digital learning/DYW challenge this week was very engaging for our class. The task was to create a new digital character for a game, either a new game or one that is currently on the market. As many of our class are interested in careers in gaming, it was a great challenge. We discussed what we liked about characters in games and then decided if we wanted to work alone or in a small group.
We were using lots of different skills in this challenge that will be important for us in the future when we are working.
We used teamwork, discussion, negotiating, literacy, creativity and IT skills. We also had to learn to use new programmes to create the digital image.
Once we had decided on our character, named it, designed it, gave it super powers and agreed what its personality would be like we then had to think of what the characters back story would be – this was lots of fun.
Mrs Andison was impressed at the literacy skills we were using to describe our characters as well as the creativity of our designs.
Thanks to Miss Burton for setting this challenge.
