About

This series will be co-host with David.
Hello game player friends! In this series we'll be playing Gimkit (https://gimkit.com) which is a game quiz that have lots of activity games and in the same time solving some quiz. 
Of course this series is just having fun together so if you like you can ask me to add more session in this series in the Public Discussion.
All you need to use is your computer or a iPad or a phone (Note that it's better to use a big screen because it's easier to move around and your view area is more bigger).

Hi! My name is Wudi. I was born in Canada and I'm living in China. I like drawing, computer programming, crafting, science, soccer, and also play Dungeons & Dragons, but most of all I love animating stickman figure. I've been programming about 5 years and animating these years. I'm here is also to make friends. I can't wait to learn together!

TAG: DOMINATION:

Prepare your students to battle for dominance as part of one organization, Echo or Vortex.

This battle will play out in a game of tag, but not the tag they’re used to...

In order to move around this brand-new 2D world, players need Energy, which they gain by answering questions correctly.

During the game, the two organizations take turns tagging and evading. This puts one team on “defense” and one team on “offense” in alternating 45-second intervals.

When a player tags someone, their organization will gain a point. The organization with the most points when the game ends wins, claiming dominance!

This mode has planning and communication built-in from the ground up. Students will need to collaborate with their teammates, utilizing upgrades, teleportation, and strategy to succeed.

Stretch your legs out and get ready for a whole new kind of tag!

CAPTURE THE FLAG:

Echo and Vortex still have a score to settle. This time, the battle plays out in an epic game of Capture The Flag!

In our version of the playground classic, students answer questions to gain energy, which they use to move around, purchase speed upgrades, and build barriers. 

New for his mode, students will find Invisibits available for purchase, which they can use to turn invisible for a brief period of time!

The rest of the game is just like the real-life Capture The Flag: two teams compete to see who can capture the other team’s flag the most before time runs out.

This mode has tons of potential for collaboration and strategy as teams figure out different ways  to capture the other team’s flag while protecting their own. Have fun!

FISHTOPIA:

Kick back and relax - life in Fishtopia is pretty laid back! 🎣

You and your students are in an entirely new, 2D world, complete with characters, locations to explore, and secrets to uncover!

In Fishtopia, students move around using AWSD/Arrow Keys (computer) or by tapping and holding (mobile). When you encounter something to interact with, simply press Enter (computer) or tap (mobile).

The core of the game is simple:

Answer questions to earn bait
Use bait to fish
Sell fish for cash
Once they have some cash, students can upgrade their gear (backpacks and fishing rods) or take a boat ride to other areas with more exotic fish.

There's tons to do and explore, but your students should get hooked figuring out the rest on their own!

Cast those lines and have fun fishing! 🎣
