IMAGINING YOUR GAME

Who are you designing your game for? (Include the player's age, abilities, and prior knowledge of your topic.)

I am making this game for Elementary and middle school kids .
What will your game teach the player about your topic? (Be specific!)

It would teach the player how are the giant panda is going endangered and some examples .

Where does your game happen?

In the forest were the giant panda lives .

Describe the world you will design for your game.

The design for my game is going to be in a forest

How will this setting add to the learning experience? 

It is going to be a scrolling background and that is going to be a new thing i am going to learn and a new experiences .

How does your game world teach the player about your topic?

it would teach them when an animal is going extinct that would make a change in the future.

What happens in the world that helps the player learn?

Try to survive and not get caught by the barrier and maybe have an idea  how they are dyeing .

How does the player use what they learned to make something happen in the game?

They get to jump and move through out the game .

Why is a game a better way of understanding your topic than a quiz?

It is going to be fun and i also think that when you are learning something in a fun way it helps you remember it much better and faster.

March Of The Penguins

Some challenges that penguins need to over come is hunger when the mom goes and get some food for the baby, the babies getting frozen , the dads abandoning there baby to go get food , and there baby getting took away from another mother because there baby died.

There habitat challenges their livelihood because when they are taking care of there baby they might freeze or if it gets hot the ice could melt and they could all die also if it gets to cold they could freeze to death.Some things that penguins need to adapt to is the coldness also to huddle together to be warm.There is a period of time were there is no sunlight because the way the axis is tilt , it also effects the climate because it get colder. Climate change negatively impact the mating of the penguins because they cant take care of the egg in the water also the female needs to go get some food , also if the ice starts melting then the would have trouble mating and the population of the penguins will decrease.

Gamers Solve Scientific Problems

How did gamers use the computer gameFoldit to solve the protein folding mystery? It could be used to find a cure to AIDS virus in humans.

Who can participate in this problem solving and be a player in Foldit? Gamers that have no background in biochemistry to solve puzzels.

What can critical thinking do for science? Critical thinking is good because it can participate on the solution.



If you could solve a mystery through gaming for any kind of disease or illness in the world, what would it be? It will be cancer because little babies get it and they die and it is sad like they die when they are small they dont get to explor the wrold.

Mini Game

I made a mini game that is about a rabbit trying to get away from a wolf and trying to catch a carrot. I think it was kind of hard to make the mini game because it was my first time making a mini game, but it was easy at the same time because you just needed to copy and paste the code. The best part of making a mini game is when you are finish  because it could all sort of stuff  like collision detection and how many carrots you got like score keeping. The worst part was when you missed something in the actions and it did not work you needed to fix it and figure out what did you do wrong and it got me really frustrated.

Your Game Is Finished!

Now that your game is finished (or almost finished) please reflect on what you have learned in Globaloria this year.
I learnd how to make a life how to make points and also how to make a button and how to make the berriors move it was reaaly hard. I am so happy that i was anominated in the Globy Awards like we are so awesome me and my partner Monica worked so hard to find how to make the points we took weeks to find out. THANKS MS.VALDEZ YOU ARE SO AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!

Service Learning Trip

This service learning Trip was boring because we needed to pick up other peoples trash. Also because  i woke up early in the morning just to pick somebodys mess. They also need to stop being lazy and pick up there trash we are not there momma .

My colors

Since we can talk/blog about any thing I am going to talk about my favorite color and my favorite color are PINK,BLACK and PURPLE. I don't now why i like them,I like pink because its Barbie  favorite color and my name is Barbie so maybe that is why. I like black because its an awesome color because I'm awesome. I like purpule because it is the last color of the rainbow. Those are my top three colors and so what !!!!!! 

Stand and Deliver

Today we finished watching a movie called stand and deliver and it is about this school called Garfield High School was doing really bad and this teacher came and taught them calculus. They took a test and they taught they all cheated and so they all wanted to take the test again and Jamie Escalante they teacher was saying that they did not cheat and he proved that they did not cheat and they all passed.

This movie means to me that always try your best don't let nobody tell you what you cant do and you need to prove them wrong. The movie is based on a true story. He made learning fun to them and maybe thats why they passed the test.



This is the teacher

The Big Test

TAKS testing is next week! How do you feel about the TAKS test? Are you excited? Are you nervous? Are you going to do something special when TAKS is over? I feel nervous about the TAKS test and also feel confident because i now that i am smart and i am going to pass it . I am not exited because it is a really STUPID test because some kids don't even pass it and what is the point of it. No i am not going to do something spacial  because it is just a test .

iPads for kids

What is your opinion of students using technology like the iPad in their classroom? What are some advantages of this type of technology? What are some of the disadvantages?                            
My opinion of the students in Stonewall Elementry is that if they are really learning something they shoould keeping them or scince the ipads came to there school improved and the students improved there grades the should keep using them. Some advantages  are that they are learning something a disadvantage is they mite get on something unappropiate or one of the kids mite brake one or a new student comes they are not going to have one.

Blooging about Blogging

I would say please let us have blogger it will help us by getting better at grammar.It is good for young students cause it lets them improve their typing skills and etc.Another reson its good for students because it helpes them get familiar with technology .Some disadvantages they could put inappropriate stuff or what they did at home etc. Another disadvantage is that they mite get on it at home and thre parents did not whant them to have one.

The Blind Side

The last 2 days we saw a movie called ''The Blind Side." It was a really good movie in some parts it was sad. It was about a boy named Micheal he got seperated by his mom when he was 7 yrs. old.He was really poor then Leigh Ann Tuohy saw him walking in a cold night and he picked him up and he turnd riched.After that he started to live there and he got inside the school the guy that he was living with him at first.Leigh Ann went to go find his mom and she did,the next day he took him shooping .Later he started to play football. Then he went to the college that the Touhy family went to ''Old Miss." Then he went to the NFL and plays for the Ravens.

Paper Prototype Reflection

How has making a paper prototype helped you plan your game? It helped me now how the game is going to work out and how we can improve on it like add more details and characters to it . Also if we need to change certain stuff like in level two or three to take out some desk or add more desk. If we need to add more levels or do more things like more things in the menue.

WHAT WE DID TODAY IN THE BEGINNING OF CLASS

Today in the beginning of class we did a servey for the year book and it was awesome!
: 1 : P  : )  : (  X D

Our games is about to prevent to not drop out :P :1 :D :0 :)

Malcolm X #2

Yesterday we finished the movie Malcolm X and it was about  a men who had more  power then Elijah Muhammad and they were Muslims. Elijah  Muhammad  was leading the people the wrong way because when Malcolm X went to Arabia to the birthplace of Muhaca and he saw different color of Muslims like black,withe, and etc. Then he went back and gave a speech that when he went to Arabia he saw different color Muslims and he said that everybody shared the same plate and cup and they will call each other  brothers. Then he said that Muslims were not only for black people . Then he went back Io his house and they set his house in fire.  The he needed to do another speech and he new he as going to die because in the last speech somebody said get your hands out of  my pocket. Then he went out to give his speech and couple of min. later the same guy said get your hands out of my pocket and some other guys shot him and he died.

Reflection

1. Describe your team's game topic and talk about the most important concept you want your players to learn. 
To not drop out of High school 
2. How did the ideas you discussed in "Imagining Your Game" come together to help your team decide on a game topic?
We disscuesed our game and our game topic by writting it down and finding out does it make scencs.
3. Tell us more about your team by saying who has what role, and how you work together.
We both drew the picturres for our  our paper prototype game.
4. What kind of research did you do to find information to express the game topic? Examples: books, films, web searches....etc.
We reaserched in the web among drop outs like articles and videos on youtube.
5. Explain the game play. What does the player have to do?
You need to jump over berriors and they are drugs and other things that cause people to drop out and you need to do that in every level but it gets harder each level.
6. Has this changed since you first started planning your game? How?
Yes because we restareted agin.

More Thought on Globaloria

How has your opinion of computers,technology, and video games changed since the biginning of the school year?
It changed because at 1st i did not now much about computers like i now how to do exeal, power point, word ,and more things like that and of course how to get in the enternet. Also i now more about technology. About videogames i am making one now and i think it is really coll that i am making my own video game.Like i now how the people  made a video game, i now the steps. Its kind of complecated to me,but i think that this is a really cool class. 

Globaloria Reflection

1. One thing I have learned in Globaloria is how to blog and how to do flash.

2.May favorite thing about Globaloria class is that we get to play games that are related what are we learning.

3.I think being in Globaloria now will help me in the future because I learned how to type better and we now how to do different things and that mite be handy for the future

Mad Hot Ballroom

I think that movie was a really good movie it was really cool. I think that the dances that were learning are easy except the swing that dance looks hard.

I think that movie was a really good movie, it was really interesting. I think it was sad when the KKK tied up that man in a rail road tracks and his head got rand over.
