I teach technology at high school. I heard about this Roblox program from one of my students. I read articles about Roblox, and I think the programming and sandbox functionality of Roblox would be a good teaching tool for my students.

I have a few questions:

- Is this a good teaching tool for technology class in high school?

-Is this appropriate to teach for high schoolers?

-Can it run on a Mac?

-Can it run any other language other than Lua, like C# for example?

Thanks!

-Chris D.

Well, unfortunately, no, it does not have programming languages other than Lua, but if your students are learning Lua, this is a great way to help them learn. Just keep a note that this is RBLX_Lua and not just Lua.

This game helps with scripting/lua and building. And yes, you can run it on a mac (I think)

Yes, It is a good tool for learning lua, And creativity. Just don't introduce them to the forum... We are a bit noobish.

In every way

Ah, Then it will be useful. But if you want them to start from scratch, Make sure to keep them away from the community toolbox, It gives custom maps and scripts.

Chris, before deciding whether or not you can use the program to help teach coding please note: after every update roblox makes, all the scripts break. That is all.

Despite the previous posts, OP, most users of the forums are fairly young so ignore them. Yes roblox runs on Mac, i can definately confirm that. I use one myself, and it can only run Lua.

1-Is this a good teaching tool for technology class in high school?

2-Is this appropriate to teach for high schoolers?

3-Can it run on a Mac?

4-Can it run any other language other than Lua, like C# for example?

Answers

1- Yes, but not really playing sword fighting.

2- Yes, it can learn you scripting, and many other technology things.

3- I think, yes.

4- I don't know. Maybe.

Sorry.

Roblox doesn't use other languages. Only Lua.

I'm in high school. They would hate this. It runs ok on a mac. It's only Lua, and it may be education if you are teaching them to script video games.

I'll actually answer these.

- Is this a good teaching tool for technology class in high school? It really depends what you are teaching.

-Is this appropriate to teach for high schoolers? Well, ROBLOX was designed for kids between 10-14, but recently it has been incredibly popular with users 15+.

-Can it run on a Mac? Yes, it can run on Mac, Windows XP, Vista Win 8, Win 7 And iOS devices.

-Can it run any other language other than Lua, like C# for example? No, it can only run LUA.

Hope it helps. :)
