Christmas...

The first thing that pops into my mind right now is Christmas! I'm ready for it to come already. I wanna open presents already and I can't wait to eat all of the Christmas food and treats!! I wish I could go to the north pole and see santa clause and his raindeer. Especially rudolph the red nosed raindeer.

This website shows a animated version of the north pole that would be great to go to the north pole. I wonder if it's really snowy at the north pole. I don't have time to finish this blog so bye.

Saving things...

Saving the flash stuff on this computer is a big hassle and is very annoying. Everything now in this class is getting annoying and more confusing everyday it seems like. We get treated like we're 30 and we're still kids we have time to learn we don't need to start being so old yet... well at least I don't think we should...

Goals...

My four goals are to be a good mom when my baby comes out in April, play basketball again next year...since I missed this year's, play volleyball again next year...since I had to stop towards the end of the season this year, and graduate. I don't have any bad habits right now that I think I need to break.

blogger...

Well, it's about time blogger works.. we were getting in trouble for not blogging for a while but we coudn't because blogger wasn't working!!

Christmas break

I wish Christmas break would be here already or at least the weekend!! I'm tired of school!!! Oh and at lunch today there was nacho things with cheese and chili and there was only 3 circles chips?!?!? It made me mad >:(

our bathrooms!!

Our bathrooms are horrible!!! They stink really bad I don't know why they have to stink...The bathroom guy needs to  make them smell better with air freshener or something!!! Oh and we had turkey, rolls, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, some kind of square things, grapes, and milk today:) oh boy it was good!!!

Next week...

I wish next week would come already!!! I'm ready to eat all the turkey and mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving!!..:) I'm also ready to get out of school for a week.. I'm tired of school!!

>:(

This Globaloria stuff is really starting to get on my last nerves!! It is so so so confusing and hard to do! I really didn't think this class would be so hard >:(... The paper prototype is really different and confusing even though I haven't done it very much.. my partners have been doing it more than I have. :)  Doing the flash stuff looks even harder cause of all codes you have to do on it!!!!

What I've done so far...

So far I have worked on my paper prototypes...well sort of. I haven't drawn much because I'm not sure what to draw. I also worked on my wiki page and my blogger. I'm trying to put a new background on my blogger profile. This stuff is so so so hard and confusing...I can't stand it!!! >:(

Today

Today I'm not sure what to really do besides a blog post and my learning log.  Oh, well I'll figure it out!?!?  I had chicken nuggets for lunch today... they weren't too bad.  Could have been better though...

Ready to try to make games!!!

I'm getting kind of board of just playing games and just not doing much. I guess I'm not doing what I'm suppose to do but I don't know what to do everyday?!?!  I just wanna make a game!!!

What i'm working on in globaloria right now...

Right now i'm working on drawing out my game.  I'm working on trying to draw pictures of what my game will look like and it is very very confusing and so hard!!!

globaloria

This globaloria stuff is really hard!  It confuses me so bad... I really wish it was alot easier! :(

what I had for lunch

I had some kind of turkey stuff mixed with peas and some other stuff and it was pretty good.

wiki playing to learn

PLAYING TO LEARN: Review 2 Games

Making a good game is hard. Making a good game that teaches the player something is even harder! Think about how these games use the play experience to teach a learning concept. Write a detailed review (not just short answers) of two games.
GAME REVIEW #1: MOST EFFECTIVE Learning Game

• Name of the game that taught you the MOST about its learning topic:Bullseye
• What social issue or educational topic does the game explore?It's just a fun game.
• What can you learn from this game?How to shoot a bow.
• What game genre is it?Sports. Do you think this genre is a good choice for creating a learning game?Not really. Why or why not?Because you don't learn nothing about like school.
• Design Analysis (Does it look good? Does it clearly illustrate the issue or learning concept?) Yeah. It helps you learn how to shoot a bow at a board.
• Usability Analysis (Is it clear what you need to do as a player? Does it work well?)Yeah it's clear what you need to do. Yeah it works good.
• Suggestions for improvement. How would you change the gameplay to make the learning and play experience work together better? I wouldn't change it.

• Name of the game that taught you the LEAST about its learning topic:Medical Mysteries
• What social issue or educational topic does the game explore?I guess medical things.
• What can you learn from this game?Noting.
• What game genre is it?Adventure. Do you think this genre is a good choice for creating a learning game?No. Why or why not?Because nothing actiony is happening.
