The Academic Game Maker & Player software allows teachers to quickly and easily create fun educational games for any curriculum. Teachers use the Academic Game Maker to create learning games and then save them as game files. Students can then load these game files and play the games using the Academic Game Player. There are three different games – Laser I, Matching, and Laser II. The final game file can include up to two games of each type, for a total of six games in each game file. |
