Home for the Holidays

I am looking forward to the holidays this year. We have several traditions every year at Christmas time. On black friday or a couple days after Thanksgiving we set up the Christmas tree. then the next weekend me and my dad set up Christmas lights. Then on Christmas Eve we usually go to my grandmother's and exchange gifts with each other. It's a tradition we do every year for the past several years even before I was born. Then on Christmas morning we wake up around 6:45 then go downstairs and open up gifts from "Santa."
After we open up gifts on Christmas morning, we go to my dad's moms house and meet with my dad's side of the family

Santa Clause

    If Santa could bring me or anyone else something I would probably pick giving someone who is in need or has had a hard time. I would hope they would get whatever they have asked for that they have never gotten before. I am very fortunate to have the things I have and the Christmas's that i have had. That's why I jope that Santa will bring something to someone in need exactlry what they want.

Snow days, Snow days

      On my snowdays I usually wake up around 9:30, go downstairs and watch TV for a little bit. Then I usually have basketball practice which always isn't the funnest in the world. Then I come home and just relax for a little bit. I always go outside on snow days. That is probably my favorite part of snow days other than missing school. Sometimes I'll be out there for two hours or longer! My two brothers and I all go out and play together whether it's a snowball fight or snowboarding. After we come in we get some hot chocolate and Oatmeal Creme Pies by Little Debbie. If I can't find anything to do I'll play my PS3 for a little bit then when night falls, my dad and I will watch college basketball or football. That's pretty much my snow day. what's yours?

Imaginig Your Game

I have just completed my Imagining Your Game project and it helped me to see more ideas in my game. When I was writing the paragraph(100 Words) helped me to start thinking of different ideas. One of my biggest features is having where the player can edit certain parts of the story. I hope that every time someone plays my game that they will have a fifferent outcome every time. I Enjoyed making the flash version, it helped me figure out my character's apperance

Mini Game Project

This year, the mini game was not as bad as last year. I knew what I was doing this time but still struggled at certain points when I had to change the code for it to work. A new feature in this years mini game was adding an enemy. The wolf was added to the game so everytime you run into it, you reset. Doing the mini game has gave me a few ideas for my game. Excited to start on my game here pretty soon!

Choosing a Topic

The past couple days we have been working on finding a topic for our game. We had to answer questions about what our topic is and what resources we are using to incoperate in our game. For example one of my resources was apostrophes and punctuation. These resources are very vital to my game and I am glad I found them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostrophe
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovene_punctuation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependent_clause

Game Idea

I have a very different game idea than last year. This year I am making a game where you go on adventure with my old character from my game last year (Spike). In my game this year you have to go through and edit all kinds of different errors in a story for example in one part of the book you must edit it's punctuation. The biggest feature this year is you pretty much get to recreate your own story. This means that if you get three different students and they play the game. I guarantee that all three will have a completely different story from what they started at. I am very excited to get started and can't wait to see how it turns out.

Internet Safety

I learned a lot of things about Internet safety this year. I learned we are not allowed put up pictures of ourselves or friends. We can't post anything about where we live or anything personal. If somone is doing something that they are not suppose to be doing we alert the teacher immediatley.

My Expierence with the Wikis and Blogs

I am starting my second year of Globaloria and it is a lot easier this year creating blogs and setting up our wikis. Now that we know all the tools and codes to make these we can get it done faster and be more customized to what we like. I've added videos and pictures and backgrounds to my wiki. Last year I only added pictures, Now my wiki is fully customized by me. The blog was a little confusing setting up at first but now i have it figured out.

Playing to Learn

I reviewed two games the past two days and I found one that taught me alot about the bones and their names and where they are in the body. This was a very interesting game. I played another one that had no learning topic at all! this game is called "Nothing but Net." I really enjoyed playing the game but i didnt learn anything. This game can be a very good one if it has more interesting features and a learning topic.
