I am excited to possibly have a capstone idea! I hope to spend some of the current semester exploring Kodu Game Lab. It was recommended by a fellow MAIT student, which is using it in their own school. I see the connection between Social Studies and gaming. In the classroom, I often reference video games that are currently out that point to moments in history. I have also read other blogs about how playing online has taught student geography skills. Students have learned that playing online with players in other countries have time differences and increases their interest in learning about another country and culture to relate to the other player.

I can't wait to see what you come up with. I love the BBC game on Pyramid building and my students did too. It would have been great to have a cooperative piece with it as well.
