Koala Go Marketplace

🐨🛝Daily Routines - by Dawn

Another great Playground from Dawn. This one covers a daily routine, getting up, eating, feeding a pet, going to school, etc. There are puzzles, spelling, vocabulary words, plus many chests and doors to open.

She used an interesting illusion and duplicated some of the buildings so that you go back to your house from school to complete the end of day routine with all new puzzles and tasks.

🍚📝 Introduction to the Stickyverse

 I have been showing snippets of this concept for a while and I’m getting closer to publishing some examples. This idea started as a way to make simple, good looking, fast loading, easy to render, quick to edit Playgrounds. Click below to see the presentation!👇🏻

The template is not ready for sale yet, but I have a couple Playground Stories so you can have a sneak peek.

Marketplace

🐨🏪Escape the planet is on the Marketplace $3

You find yourself with a broken down spaceship. You will need to navigate a maze answering multiple choice questions (15 questions), buy the parts for your ship, and eventually repair your ship so you can escape the planet.

✍️🃏Khan Academy and Microsoft

I have always loved the idea behind Khan Academy (Free education for all). Lately I have been looking into using it with Koala Go as a curriculum, more on that at a later date.

While researching Khan Academy, an article came to my attention that mentioned Microsoft was donating use of their infrastructure so that Khan Academy could offer their Khanmigo AI helper for free to K12 educators in the US.

Don’t have time to read the article?

Recast is an AI tool I have been playing with recently, it takes an online article and converts it into a podcast, here is the podcast that Recast made for me about this article:

💧👩🏻‍🏫Seeking content for Dunk The Teacher and Escape the planet

Do you like the concept behind these games but they don’t have the right content for you? Send me an email about it.

My original plan was to offer many different versions with the content that teachers like yourself wanted (each version at $3), but since I cannot read minds I need you to tell me what you need. 😆

Submissions

🙋🏽‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️How do I submit my Playground to be featured in Koala Bites?

If you have a Playground you would like to have in this newsletter, or for that matter, anything the readers might find useful. Just click that button that says “Submissions”. That will open an email for you to describe what you would like to submit.

I like to schedule a time where I can come to your classroom and tour the Playground. Then I will do a short write-up. There is no cost for this.

Bye-bye
