Make Your Own Mobile Games

During my experience at EdCamp Harrisburg, I attended a fantastic session on making your own mobile games. The site is called Aris Games, and you can create a geo-enabled game using a WSIWYG editor. Students can drop items and people all over actual locations. Then students go to the locations with their iPhones or iPads and learn, answer, or collect items. (If you don't want the students roaming all over town, you can use QR codes to play inside your classroom.) In less than an hour, I felt that I had seen enough to make one of these games myself. I plan to try it sometime after the November holiday. The site is completely free, and it seems really engaging. Check it out!
