Globaloria now! : )

          Globaloria now is great, we have went over alot from last year to refresh, but on the way we have learned more things then what we did last year. Globaloria has been fun this year already and I can't wait to get on in with our game about the Titanic. I think the only thing that I really need to be working on is the updated flash. There is no big or major thing that I need to work on but the new flash, there probably are some small things that I don't know how to do, but in that situation I will learn them on the way of working on my new game. Going on about my wiki page, it isn't the best that there is but I still like it and think that it is pretty, I have to work on getting my color on there but other than that I have had fun uploading the pictures on there. My partners are great too, I am so glad that I got them. They help me out alot and we have alot in common so our game will be easier to make because we can agree on many things. I think that my learning abilitiy is getting stronger and higher the more I am on globaloria, and I plan on to keep it improving.

Single Story! : )

A "Single Story" is someone that has an opinion on your community, if they think that one person is not a good person then they say the community isn't good, but if they give an opinion that the person is a good person, then they would say that the community is good. Although most single stories that I have heard about my community is not that good. Just because of the person who they mave know of or have talked to. The community that I know the most that people talk about alot is Morgantown. Morgantown is a good community and it has great people in it. I don't thik that I have heard a bad single story on Morgantown. I have heard a few single stories on my comunity, and most of them I don't agree to. I think that our community is good. So I think that the person who is telling a single story on our comunity that is bad, is missing a lot. People could learn alot and tell a single story if they played a game about a community and a person who lives in it, I think. Maybe if I played a game on a community or if I went and visited that community and got to talk to different people, I would learn more about what a single sory is, and if that community is good or bad. What do you think?

Imaganing your game!! : )

WHO are you designing your game for? (Include the player's age, abilities, and prior knowledge of your topic.)
For other students in the seventh and sixth grade to play a get ideas for them, maybe they could understand the genre of historical better, maybe they would want to make their game about the titanc like my team and I.
WHAT will your game teach the player about your topic? (Be specific!)
Our game will teach the player about the titanic and give them facts, maybe the new ones about the titanic that they didn't know about.
WHERE does your game happen?
Describe the world you will design for your game.
How will this setting add to the learning experience?
Our game will take place in North Atlantic Ocean. Anyone who wants to play a eighth grade level game can play ours. It may seem more real to the player and help them understand the titantic better.
HOW does your game world teach the player about your topic?
What happens in the world that helps the player learn?
How does the player use what they learned to make something happen in the game?
The player will be driving a boat their self and the boat will adventually start to sink, then it will be up to you to get the people on board safe to land.
WHY is a game a better way of understanding your topic than a quiz?
 Because you are acutally playing and doing it yourself instead of just answering questions that you may or may not know the answer to.
