It all started with the question I was anticipating, “Can we use Fortnite Creative for our final game?” I saw this as an opportunity to empower my students. My concern was with the fact that as a first person shooter, the stigma of Fortnite would come with some administrative resistance. I thought it best to have the students craft their argument in favor of using it and receive approval from our admin. They wrote a great persuasive letter<\/a> and upon follow up discussions with our tech department and curriculum supervisor, students were granted approval pending parent permission.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nTheir next step was to write the permission slip and have it signed so they could proceed.\u00a0 Amazing how quickly students work when they are intrinsically motivated \ud83d\ude42 Below is the permission slip for anyone who would like to use it with their students.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nWe are students in Mr. Isaacs period
\n4 game design class and we have received the task of creating our very own game
\nfor our final project. Mr. Isaacs said we could choose the tool of our choice
\nlike minecraft, unity, twine, super mario maker and almost anything we can
\nthink of.\u00a0 <\/span>A couple of students asked if
\nwe could used Fortnite Creative, a section of Fortnite that is dedicated to
\nbuilding your own world. Mr Isaacs sees the value of using Fortnite Creative as
\na tool to create our game but wanted us to get approval from the school first.
\nWe did and all that is needed now\u00a0 <\/span>is
\nparent\/guardian approval for students to be allowed to use Fortnite Creative in
\nclass.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nThere are many benefits of using
\nFortnite creative compared to other software like Minecraft. Fortnite creative
\nsaves your work to the cloud so you could access your work on any computer,
\nvideo game console, or your even your phone, where on Minecraft your limited to
\nonly the computer your working on. In class students will only be working on a
\ncomputer, but Fortnite allows students to work on their game at home, which
\nwill allow students final game to reach its full potential. Another advantage
\nabout Fortnite creative is that new things are added everyday and updates are
\nreleased every week. This will allow Students to constantly update their game
\nand improve it. Since Fortnite creative is apart of Fortnite, students friends
\nwould have easy access to test and play their game anywhere they want. Mr.
\nIsaacs has been researching this and found a number of educators using Fortnite
\ncreative in their classrooms. They have had good experiences with it and the
\nstudents haven’t needed to use any of the guns or questionable aspects that
\nwould be considered inappropriate for school, but mainly focused on all the creative
\npossibilities like obstacle courses and other challenges like races. Students
\ncan even create their own music note by note, which is a vital aspect for game
\ndesign, One teacher named Mrs. Wright \u201cused it as a
\nstudent choice for the design and construction of a medieval castle\u201d in her
\nsocial studies class. Epic games, the creator of Fortnite also made Unreal
\nEngine, a game creator for super high end games. They are trying to make
\nFortnite creative an easier to understand version of Unreal Engine (an entry
\npoint to using their more sophisticated tools), but for everyday people. Like
\nFortnite creative, every game design software has the possibility to input
\nguns. This is not necessary and students will have to make sure their game is
\nappropriate for school. Students will only use creative aspects of Fortnite
\ncreative and nothing violent, so anybody at any age can play it.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nWe hope you understand
\nthat despite the stigma that fortnite has associated with it, we are asking you
\nto let your children use Epic Games open ended tool as we would any other game
\ndesign engine. Thank you for your consideration.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nI,
