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.
