I. Click for Student Technology Work Samples and their narratives

a) Erik's Tessellation game - I made this choice for a sample based on he had one of the most played games last year through Gamestar Mechanic and he received 3rd place in the Programming Catergory at the 2012 HCS Tech Fair using Gamestar

b) Hannah W's "Beat That" - I made this choice as you was one of the few female students that grasped the material quite easily. I am not sure why, but it would seem that the majority of females got frustrated with the game and their were far fewer submissions.

c) Haley's Clean Slate - I wanted to feature this game as this student was only able to make one level, but I thought it was very creative on how she drew her name out of blocks. Unfortunately, her game didn't feature a true tessellation either.

d) Juventino's 10 Times in a Row - I wanted to feature this game as this student loved the program so much he begged his parents to upgrade him to a Premium account. He showed me more levels and goals to accomplish, along with making one of the best sixth grade games about pattern.
