Bloxels will allow students to use their creativity to create their very own characters, themes, scenes, environments, and goals in their own video game. It will allow them to apply critical thinking skills and problem solving skills in the game to achieve a goal or purpose. It will also give them the opportunity to share and collaborate with their peers. Applying these skills are very important in today's society and will be beneficial throughout their lives. In order to utilize this platform, students will need to download and install the Bloxel Builders collaborative app onto their device. This app will allow players to create, play and share games that demonstrate their personality, and creative inspirations using a mix of tools to create characters, challenges, environments, objectives and more. With Bloxels, games will become digital storytelling for students which can be utilized in all subject areas at any grade level. For example, students can create a game to replicate the Civil War, or create a game to replicate the effects of global warming, or create a game to show the journey of a character in a novel. The possibilities are endless! By allowing students to take control of their learning, they will take ownership in their assignments, become student leaders and have a sense of pride in their assignment. This game and technology allows students to be successful and allows them to utilize 21st century skills that will help them be successful lifelong learners.
