Chose A Learning Topic

                                                                                                                                                                                          I choose this topic because I want to help the animals that are being mistreated by their owners.
Another reason why choose this topic is because I like animals. I  have seen many cases about animal abuse this is why I want to inform other people about what is happening. Many people do not really know what people choose to do with their pets so they just harm them.

Make A Paper Prototype 1

                                                Flash

   For me it's the first time I use flash. The reason why this is my first time is because I am new to this school. I really like to use flash because its really fun. I like and dislike flash one of the reason why I do not like flash is because sometimes it can be difficult to draw the details you did on your picture/ drawing. Another reason why I like flash is because you can edit really cool stuff in your pictures! 

                                       

                         Student IDs

                                                                                                                                                                                   1. Why did the school initiate this program?

I think the school initiated this program because many students are being somewhere else in the school instead of being in their classes.
2. What was the technology originally DESIGNED for?

My belief that they designed this for is to keep track of where the students are when they are not in class.
3. What are the practical advantages of the IDs?

The advantages are that they are helping the teachers to track us so we are easier to find. The disavantages are that students would not like being tracked everywhere we go.
4. Do you foresee any problems with the IDs that the students might have?d

Yes there are many problems might have like not liking being tracked around everywhere they go because we have the right to be FREE!!!
5. How would you feel if this system was used at EACP? Why?

   

 If this system where to be invented I would not like being tracked cause that is messed up!

Plan A Game Scene

     Write about your vision for this game. What excites you about it?                                                                                                                                       

     My vision for this game is going to be like a house with many kinds of different animals. Some of theses animals are going to be tied to a tree, have a mess in the backyard but in the house there are also going to be animals that are treated well by their owners. In this game you need to find the animals that being mistreated and learn more about how they can be harmed.The reason why I choose to do animal abuse is  because I want the players to learn more about animal abuse. What really excites me to this game is because I really enjoy making games.

Play to Learn Part 1

• Name of the game:  Be Kind To Animals 
• What were you looking for?   Clues
• Was the game fun to play? Explain why.  I was looking for clues to learn more about animal's needs.
• How does the designer reward you and keep you playing?   Has interesting Facts
• What does this game teach you?  Needs of animals 
• How does it use hidden objects to teach you?   It makes the facts more interesting
• What age group would find this educational?  +6
• How would you make this game better?   Putting in more facts

 What kind of ideas did you get for your own game?

           For my game I got an idea that I could make my game have cool facts so people can get interested.

                                                                                                                                                                                         Reflect on what you learned from playing this game....

             What I learned from playing this game is that  there are many requirements to take good care of your pet and their needs.

Danger of a Single Story

1.)  What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community? Kind of like stereotyping

  Having a single story of a place is to thinking of a specific topic, and write about that topic. Have you heard bad rumors about people places or things? Well just because you have heard bad rumors about that topic does not mean they are true, that is why they are called rumors.

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? Like how some people say short people play soccer but they don't.

                                                                                                                                           No I have not heard a single story around my community.  When I do I believe people are going to have disagreements and agreements.

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? Like some people think you are in this religion just because of your color.

 In other communities  I have heard people talking about a lot of crimes happen in a specific area, but that is not true because some of the people are innocent, NOT everyone is making a crime.  

                                                                              

4.) How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community? A game about stereotyping.

 A game community should learn that not everything they hear is true!

A New Year

     Its a new year. I am very nervous at my new school. I go to East Austin College Prep Academy this year. It is very different from my last school. In my school we used to not have Globaloria, so this is my very first time to use Globaloria. I really like Globaloria because it has a lot of cool stuff. I like this school because I am making new friends every day.
