Cruz Rodriguez - Del Valle, Texas

Cruz Rodriguez garners respect in the classroom. His style isn’t to overwhelm or intimidate, but treat each student with the same respect that he commands.

“I’m excited about the Video Game Design curriculum. From a young age, children think about what they are going to be when they grow up. This curriculum provides the connection between being successful in school and landing the job of their choice. Students are excited about what they are working on and therefore stay on task. They understand that VGD will open doors for them in the video gaming industry/future/workplace.

This software is completely hands on, self-guiding, and easy to navigate. Even the students who do not have game design experience feel comfortable using it. This project-based and TEKS aligned real-world curriculum will be very beneficial to the students.”
