Renewed Energy

I have been reminded about the reason I chose to be an educator. It is always exciting to see the "light-bulbs" shine through the students. It has brought some great energy and focus to our class. The students have expressed their pride in actually completing something that is visible. They really enjoyed working together and playing the creations that their students were able to complete.

Many of the struggling students are so proud of themselves. Honestly, they have a great deal to be proud of! Although the coding and substance of their platform games was very confusing and difficult, many of the students learned and applied so much to their games. It is still encouraging to be able to witness the excitement of learning and accomplishing something that lacks ease!
