Student Op. 3

Overall M.E. is a great learning tool weather you use their guded lessons or create your own. Students love the animation and exploration of the App;The Maze Game is a big hit as is the Character Module. One of the biggest benefits that I have found is the ability to now have students across grade levels and with varying abilities share in a common curriculum and experience.

I think this is a good source for teachers to use. When students and teachers participate in it, they ca actively communicate with each other and start their own models or analysis through the tool. It will be beneficial for students' communication and critical thinking.

I highly recommend this program. It is worth the money for a school license. The students love it and often go on at home on their own time to create 3D designs. The interface is extremely easy for the students to learn and very entertaining. They can create their own avatars and the more designs they create, the more coins they earn which they can use to add more things to their avatars and also open up more tools in the design screen. (though there are plenty of free ones as well). I like that they can design in a free way and also choose to use blocks to design (Minecraft-like). I can easily assess students' work as well. Maker's Empire was what I was looking for to take my design program to the next level!!
