Globaloria So Far.

Globaloria so far, has been pretty good. Although, making the minigame was kind of hard, because the codes was hard to get them working. If you didn't put the code where they actually went, it'd mess up and not work at all. Therefore, I didn't like it that much. We 8th graders did the minigame template last year, in 7th grade. I don't see why we are doing it again.. Maybe review? Yes, I think so. Hopefully, we'll be starting the REAL game soon. I'm actually ready to make the game for this year. I'd say it's going to be fun. Well, besides putting all the codes, and stuff. I think it'll be an even better year in Globaloria, than it was last year. I'd say everyone will enjoy, instead of doing math. I'd much rather have history than math. But, that's just me. Anyways, yeah, I think i'll enjoy Globaloria this year. Meeting new Globaloria students, new teachers, and new game making partners. It's always good to meet new people... Who doesn't enjoy that? That's what I enjoy most. I think my new partner, Allison, will work hard. As well will I. I think we'll have a good year being partners. I think we'll have a pretty good game, as well as being good partners. I mean, we're already best friends, so I know we'll get along. But, this has been my Globaloria year this far.

Single Story.

1. What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community? It means when people from another place/county talk to another person from another place/county.. and they think that everyone from that place is the same.
2. Describe a single story you have heard told about your community. What is missing from that story? How could people learn more about that community? A story I have heard about my community is.. We have a lot of coal. Our county is this county with the most coal in the world!!
3. Describe a single story you have heard about another community. How did you learn that story? How could you find out more about that community? I dont really remember a story about another community....
4. How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community? A game could let players experience because, you could make the game about the community and let the player explore things about the community!!

Playing To Learn.

This week we have been going over Playing To Learn. We played Two Mini Games. Then we had to review them. I played WV Animal Rescue Squad and Tempest in Crescent City. After, I had to answer questions about the game. Like, which game was most affective in learning and which one wasn't. I found them both interesting. But, I think WV Animal Rescue Squad was the most affective. There was questions like, Which One Needed Improvement? Do They Need Improved? Does the game really help? ... Questions like that. This week was interesting. We also got to refresh our minds, to make sure we remember how to do things. So, I think my mind is pretty caught up on some things. We'll be doing a little bit more review to make sure we do know how to do things. So, this is what all I did this week! (:

Coming back from Summer. (:

We've finally come back from summer. I had a pretty good summer, I hope everyone else did. It's fall time now! :D Coming back from summer to Globaloria seems like its going to be fun. We are doing History this year. I am planning on what I'm going to do my game on. I do have a idea in mind. I believe it will be pretty epic, if I get to do what I plan on doing. My partner this year is Allison. She's my bestfriend. So, I know for sure we'll get along good. I find it pretty cool that I'm doing a game with my bestfriend who has the same name as me. I think i'll have an even better year this year! I hope everone else does.
