Choosing a topic

  • WHO are you designing your game for? (Include the player's age, abilities, and prior knowledge of your topic.)I'm designing the game for all of the people.
  • WHAT will your game teach the player about your topic? (Be specific!)The players will now that the real life thing is real and sometimes we cause the problem.
  • WHERE does your game happen?The setting will be outside in the wild.
    • Describe the world you will design for your game.Well my game setting will be outside in the wild.
    • How will this setting add to the learning experience?They will learn that sometimes those problems are caused by us to.
  • HOW does your game world teach the player about your topic?That sometimes its dangerous.
    • What happens in the world that helps the player learn?To not kill the bees because we need them to survive.
    • How does the player use what they learned to make something happen in the game?People learn how t take care of Earth.
  • WHY is a game a better way of understanding your topic than a quiz?People like action games and they like to play in the computer.

1.I actually learned that a lot of people were in trouble and that I haded to rescue them.It was kind of hard because the girl haves to give stuff to people.
2.I think that the designers new that people were traped and that the girl haded to rescue them.
3.I think that they were trying to make the levels harder and harder so the girl can help people faster.
4.Yes, I did learn more about hurricane katrina,I learned that hurricane katrina can kill people and destroy houses and other stuff.

Darfur is Dying

  • What I learned about the game is that those people are suffering from the bad guys.And that some of the characters need to help the other people to rebuild their houses again.Some people got rapped and abuse by the mean people when they arrive to destroy their homes and take their animals and other stuff to.
  • I think that the characters might be different from the others,because some of the characters are bold or have a little eye.And if I was a game designer I will change them.And it's telling me that how the characters are in the game it's telling me that they look like this today.
  • The other reason is because some of the people lost their houses and they gotta build them again, and you gotta help with the planting crops and getting some.
  • I think that it is because so we can help the people who are going to get killed by the mean people and so the president can send some food. because the mean people destroyed everything and the y even took their animals.So we can save the people the are still humans but from another country  or another place, and so people can care about them and given them support and show them that we care about them.
It did inspire me to learn more about the Darfur because it's just so interested about their lives and that I want to learn what the kids do for fun.And it inspired me that I'm even going to put the game in face book, and see if the people in face book liked the game.

Steve Jobs

Steve jobs was the creator of the apple computers and he invented Pixar he also invented, the i phone,i pad, and the i phone 4.Steve Jobs had cancer but the doctors did surgery and he lived 6-7 years.I have learned that he was important to the world and to every body.He was the one who invented the mouse.I  think that he is a inspiration to me because he invented computers, and if it wasn't for him we would not have all those stuff today.

Playing to learn

I learned the bones of our body in a cool game called "Learn the Bones" is like you can learn while you have fun at the same time.That game is pretty good and you can learn and have fun at the same time.Actually the game of the bones was improve because you learn bones.How did the student make all the bones move around?How did the student memorize all the bones in our body?

Playing to Learn

Playing to learn is another way to be learning things.Sometimes playing to learn is so fun and sometimes is boring.A lot of the students think that some of the games are just for playing but they are mistaking.There are new games that the 6,7,and 8 graders made.Playing to learn is fun they teach how to do a lot of things.Like for an example there is a game that teaches you how to help the community by cleaning up,that is my favorite game.

Be the Change

What I would like to do for service learning project is to clean up the forest or clean the community.If we do it would be helpful,because trash travels.Sometimes I want to go and clean the beach, and pick up all the trash,sometimes the trash gets into the ocean.If it goes to the ocean a lot of the sea animals can die.Also I want to go and help people to clean the community.Some of the people don't even care about the community so they just throw the trash, where ever they want.Only if we pick all the trash we will have a better community.I felt really bad not going to the service learning project,because I wanted to go and help the people clean up something.
