| Project description | Stagecast Creator is a new desktop simulation program that enables anyone -- kids, teachers, publishers and software authors -- to easily create interactive games and simulations. It is ideal for project-based learning, and for creating math and science visualizations. The teacher's edition of Stagecast Creator includes a Teacher's Guide that presents 20 different lessons for using Creator in the classroom. There are lessons for grades K through 12, covering topics from math and science to language arts and music. Any world built in Creator can be placed on a web page for others to view and use, making Creator the easiest way to build fully interactive demonstrations for the web. Based on Apple's Cocoa technology, Creator is a cross-platform Java application that runs on Windows PC and Macintosh PowerPC computers. At the CILT workshop, I would like to present a demo of Creator, show math and science visualizations that have been built in Creator, and demonstrate how to create your own worlds. |
