How to Share your homemade video game on Edmodo and a Gamestar Mechanic Prezi

This is a Jing tutorial that I made for my students so that they could learn on how to complete their game and then post the URL on our Edmodo site

Also, if there are any teachers out there that would like to do something fun, unique and engaging with your students - I would HIGHLY recommend you check out the site of gamestarmechanic.com.  They offer up some great Teacher Resources as well. What I did was I went through the majority of their teacher resources and I have compiled the majority of the basic game design steps into a Prezi (which is like a PowerPoint on steroids.)  Below is a copy of my Prezi if you would like to use this in your classroom. (It is still a work in progress so be sure to check up frequently)
