Playing to Learn :)

     For my Globaloria-7 Class, we had to compare past games ,created by students and professionals, to see which ones we thought were the best and worst games and which were most fitted in for their topic. I chose "Third-World Farmer" as the best interactive game in the gallery. I thought "Third-World Farmer" was the best game because it pointed out all the percautions a real life farmer has to go through in order to keep his/her livestock, family, home, and crops safe. I think "Third-World Farmer" also teaches real life health and life issues. I chose "Ayiti: The Cost of Life" as my worst rated Globaloria game because I didn't really understand the concept in which you were suppose to do to meet the goal of the game. In my opinion, "Ayiti: The Cost of Life" did not explain itself and didn't really have a goal. When I played, all you did was move your character from place to place in order to keep it alive. It may impress others ,but as for me I did not understand the concept at all.

Internet Safety Guidelines

In order to keep your identity safe, keep your last name, user name, home/e-mail address, passwords, and phone numbers off of your wiki, blog, or any other internet resource. When somebody knows your personal information, it can be very dangerous and sometimes people can commit identity theft, which is when somebody stills your identity and uses it against you. It is also important for you to keep pictures off the internet. BEWARE of offers like "be rich quick" or "lose weight fast" because they require personal information. NOBODY needs to know your personal information!!! If they ask for it,

DO NOT give it to them.

My math concept and social issue!!!!

     I would like to do "Pet Safety" as my social issue for Globaloria. I want to do "Pet Safety" because I love animals and hope to become a vetenarian in my future. When I create my "Pet Safety" game, I need a math concept. So, I chose "exponents" as my math concept. I would like my math concept to be "exponents" because I think many people still confuse exponents and addition/multiplication today. Maybe, my game will help people of all ages learn the right way to find the answer for exponents.
