 * ===Resource=== || ===Type=== || ===Year Levels=== || ===Audience=== || ===comment=== ||
 * "[|Game Learning]" || Games || Yr 8 || Teachers || You need to click on the resource page to get the resources. It contain a few different Game Maker project. It also contain resources for other game platform such as StageCast Creator 2 and Blitz Basic. Unfortunately, the lesson plan is not available. However, teacher can give the game for student to play and as them if they can duplicate or improve the game. Or teacher can use this idea and write his/her own lesson depending on how much scaffolding student might need. This could also lead to the idea of open source software and the advantage of the open source community. ||
 * "[|Schoolgamemaker]" || Games || All || Teachers || This is an amazing website. I don't have time to explore all the resource there. It contain research paper for when you need to convince you school that's the path you want to go down. It contain different programming language such as Python, different game platforms, lesson plan and teacher forums. Some of the link require password or login. But some of it is free. ||
 * "[|XNA development]" || Games || Yr 10 and VCE || Teachers || Game programming became very popular in the last couple of years. In my placement school, students as young as Yr 9 started learning to write program C# and XNA. They have lunch time programming game club once a week. This website help set up XNA environment and tutorial on how to write program for games. This is more complex then the GameMaker or Scratch environments. However, students can use what they learn to help with their VCE unit 3 and 4. ||
