I have played a lot of games and most of them have been educational. Some of them are teenpregnancy, learn the bones, super toaster, what would you do?, and katrina: tempest in crescent city. On everyone of those games you learn something educational and those are all on the internet. I really cant think of any video games I've played that are educational. I learned a lot from playing the games I have played like were the bones are in our body and the names of them, making decisions, what happens when your pregnant how not to get pregnant or how to get pregnant, and many other things. Yes I do think that games can create a learning atmosphere.
I so happy that we're finally starting our game. I can tell that it's going to be so much fun working with our teams,making the game,and all the funny things that will happen. My job in the group is codes. Alexis is Manger,Dustin is the artist, and Brittney does sounds. Our team name is "The Lean Mean Gaming Machines!" it's a funny name to laugh at. I think I'm doing really good so far. Our character in the game is Multiplication Man he goes around solving multiplication problems. Were all so excited about everything.
Globaloria has been great I really like this class. We have learned a lot of new things like flash, wiki, blogging, projects page, learning log, and so much more. Mr.Lester put us in groups of three or four. We put alot of stuff on our projects page. Blogging every friday, keeping up with my learning logs/projects page, talking to my mentor, updating profile, uploading files, and when I miss a day I make sure I catch up so I won't fall behind. I have alot of fun in this class it isn't really all that hard but I bet it will get there. I just can't wait till we make a game!
It's important for us to know that not everything on the internet is safe like pictures that you upload some people might not like what they see. Or when you say things about other people then it gets out, I don't think it will turn out to good. We all talk to people on the internet,all we need to do is just don't give out personal information like your full name, where you live, and anything else that's personal. Were being as safe as we can be in Globaloria. I think the internet is great as long as you don't use it for anything bad. From my point of view I also think it's safe as long as you don't do any of those things you'll be fine.
Well I like math it's just I'm not that good in it but I work until I get it right. It's fun sometimes an then sometimes it isn't. I don't think I have a favorite lesson I just go along with what ever the teacher is teaching but I really like multiplication. My least favorite thing about math is it's hard for me to understand some of the stuff. Like fractions,probability,integers,and some word problems.
In Globaloria I hope to learn more about computers and what we are doing. I don't quite have a game idea yet I will soon though but its going to be fun and educational. I'm mostly scared about my game not turning out write but if I listen to my teachers I will get it right. I'm excited about it because I think is it going to be a lot of fun and I'm also exited about making the the game it might be hard but I'm going to try my best.
