 We think Kodu was easy we could always program the game how we wanted it to. All the characters are cool and easy to move and make them talk. But I also think that kodu was harder that we thought it would be.

 Kodu is very educational. You can learn a lot about physics. Kodu is not only educational but also a fun hobby. Also, a great way to entertain yourself.

FINAL RECOMMENDATION  We strongly believe that Kodu should be used in classrooms in the future.  Kodu is very educational and fun.  Students can learn about creating video games.  Students can play the games, not only make them.  Kodu is an easy way for students to program a character to make sounds, move and have a speech bubble at the same time.

 Game design can be used in education for:  Study reviews and practice  Making homework and learning fun  Letting kids learning without knowing they are learning since they are having fun  Different ways for students to express themselves  Translating materials in different languages
