The Snow In Tuesday


The thing that happened in Tuesday was that it was snowing!We saw clearly the snow outside like in Math.Dr.Cantu said that if we behaved well,Ms.Penticuff will let us go outside and let us see the snow.At first,we were quiet,but then when some boys were disturbing an other class,Ms.Penticuff said that we were going back because it was unacceptable.When we saw it was like an experience because now I know how the snow looks like and how it feels and that it's clear like a crystal.The thing that surprised me was that,when it was Christmas it didn't snow at all,but when it was Tuesday the February 23,2010 it was really snowing who would've thought that it can snow on February!Well,when it started to get worse then the principal thought that it can be best if we go home and have a good break!Well,we got early off school we got off like probably around 12:00.Then we had to call our parents to pick us up and I was really happy because we got to go home early at 12:00.When my mom came,she was really happy too because,I can stay at home and watch the snow how it falls.When I got home,I immediately went outside and played in the snow although it was slippery and I felled down,I still went on and played more and then that was it because it was cold outside and then I got to drink hot cocoa.

Our Game Prototype

I feel that we need to work more on getting them to concentrate them,since I am Team Captain and I have to keep track of them to not get too distracted with the others talking and talking,but I do feel that I seem to be working with them really hard and too well.The reason that I feel like that is because,our team is really,like, they get ideas and they help me think more and that makes my grade go up because I don't have details,and thanks to them,I get good grades in Technology.When we re-presented our games I felt like,we had done better than the other time that we presented them with no clue and no idea what was going on,but when we re-presented our presentation,I felt that we had followed Ms.Miller's directions,the only thing that I didn't like at all is that,our voices were to low we had to work on them,and that we didn't include our goal on what is it that our game is going to teach.It did help me with additional time and instruction because Ms.Miller gave to Team Captain's a page that we had to work on and it included what are our team names,our graphics design are they NEATLY drawn what is our Math Objective and all that stuff that has to do with our game prototype.I think that was the thing that helped me the most because at first,Ms.Miller didn't gave us instruction on what to do,but now that she gave us instruction,our presentation and game went pretty well!One of my frustrations that I have is my team because I really have a hard time getting them to concentrate and to not get too distracted with the others because since this is the six weeks for today,she will take of points of us if we are not working properly and our behavior is not acceptable to her,so that's why I have a difficult time with my team mates.My most triumph moment is when we presented our game really awesome because we really did our best and we really got rid of it,and me and my team were so proud that we didn't do good we did great on our presentations!That's how my Team is and how did it go with our game presentation's on Friday.

My Team,My Game


My role is to be the Team Captain and it requires to keep people working and don't get distracted by the other because some people don't like to be distracted and they are working hard to get their game done,so that's what my role is and what Team Captain's do.I'm not sure if I'm good at this job because I really work hard to get the work that Ms.Miller gives us to get it done so we wont have after school and it's also good to work on it and finish it a school because,you will get a good grade on it if you finish it that day,so when if you see on your report card that you got a 20 for not finishing it the same day,it's probably because you were distracted and you decided to not do the work.I really like it because I'm doing the best I can,so my team wont get a 0 on their work.We didn't really have any of disagreements because we all chose a role and everyone seemed to agree with it.Well,Maely is-Secretary Chris O. is -Updates the stuff Chris F. is-Expert on Flash Erik is-Blogger we really resolved them that quickly because before Ms.Miller gave us her instruction we had already made positions.I'm looking forward on finishing my game because I really want to see and play with it when we had finished it and my team too and we are all really excited about the game that we are creating together.The inspiration of my game is that I'm looking forward to my game because our topic is Teen Pregnancy and it's an issue in communities and that's why we decided to choose my topic it is an issue that has to do with Education,so that's why I have inspiration for our game.We are not going to give up on our game because others will play and learn from it.We are waiting for that day to come when our game is finished so others can play it,and enjoy it!

Paper Prototype


I think that the paper prototype section was really fun doing because it was really showing if you payed attention what the teacher had asked you.It is also important because it shows how your game is going to look like.I didn't find it difficult because our team had the ideas how our game is going to look like,but the thing that was really difficult was the part where you had to read it because I was really trembling during the presentation because we hadn't practice it because my team and I we were still working on our presentations and it was hard for us to read it because our team were working on the coloring instead of how our presentation is going to go,but since we finished the coloring stuff,the time was up and we had to do the best that we could,so we can get a good grade and so it could go perfect.The only thing that we had to focus on more is to,work more with the words,but everything went really great.Now I know the importance of the paper prototype in reference to our game design because that is the most important thing in Technology and I think if we do our game the right way and we try our best,we will show other people what are the main causes of that social issue.Well it's not really the first time working in group,but it's the first time that me and a group are working,but working in a game together like a project that's important for our grade.I think it is a really good way to work because if we had done it by ourselves,then our game wont be finished at the end of the semester and wont be that creative.What I like of my team is that they are really creative and they have good ideas for us to know them so we can put them in our game.The thing that I don't like about my team is that they talk too much than to do work and they go away with their other friends,so in other words they need to focus more and less of the talking.I think that in the end of the year we will make good progress because we are really focusing more on our games and I think that it will count as a good grade because I think that the other people will like playing our games that we are doing for the rest of the year and I think that if our games will go well,our grades will go high.Me and my team are looking forward to our game,so that our game will be awesome like the other games!

My Awesome Blog


My thoughts of Globaloria are like it's awesome in there because we are always getting into MyGlife,we are Blogging,and we get to do stuff that is cool,and not only that,I'm looking forward to our game that we and my team are working on.We are working with the Objective 6 and our game is going to be about Teen Pregnancy because it does have to do with the community because you know that some people want to have relationships with each other and they are in a dangerous risk because when you have relationships,then comes the part where the women get pregnant at an early age and when they get pregnant they do not only their mate goes away,but they drop-off school and they don't get the education that they need.That's why me and my team are doing teen pregnancy because we really think that people will learn from it for not to them make the same mistakes.I really enjoy this class because we are really being persistent because we wont give up on our games or any of our classes,but our game is the most important thing in Globaloria.

What I have learned in Globaloria is,well first of all at the beginning of the semester we learned how to get a Gmail account,how to make a Blogger,how to get into MyGlife.Well at first,we learned how to send messages into Gmail,we learned how to update our stuff at MyGlife,and how to do excellent Blogs at Blogger.Most of all,we learned how to get in Flash and how it works and how our game is going to look like.Now we know more than ever like,we know about the how to move the carrot and add the bunny and all that stuff.

I like to Blog because I really think that teachers look at them and that shows them how our blogs can be like that we are expressing ourselves and how is it going with our classes and it is also required because that really is a grade.Some of the students are getting much better on Blogging because they have improved that they actually know how to Blog and I'm getting better on Blogging too because last year I really liked to Blog,but not that much like right now!It helps me more on what do I have to write for the others to understand it and how is my future going to be because in couple of years I will go to college and then graduate and have a good career!I helps my mind be working,so that when I go to a different class I wouldn't be that bored and all that tired.


We are working on our games like putting ideas and describing it to the teacher and to the others.Our game is based on our Objective that we are working on and for our game to work we have to put Math into it,for example,my Math Objective is number 6,so that means that I have to put Math that has to do with the Objective 6.My team is focusing more on how our game is going to be like and besides that our team better start to focus more and more on our game and less of the talking with the other students.Most of the time they are really helping us when we need their help.I really like my team because they have more creativity than me and they could help us create our game so that our game will be perfect like the others!The better we work on our games more often the better is going to look like from the others!It's really awesome working on our games because we get to show to the other people to not make the same mistakes that the other people do.


I'm looking forward to learn more about FLASH because that's a really cool website to go and that's a way to learn more about it.Other people had gone to it because that's an awesome website and they could get the information that they need.Since we are working more on our games I think that we can go to FLASH when we have free time and we can use it a home or anywhere.Also what are the other people going to say when they play the game well I think that they are going to say "This game is so awesome that I'm going to play it again!" That's what I hope when they play our game.


My game concept is,Education/Teen Pregnancy.Our game ideas are really coming together because we are really stepping on it than any other time I'm really excited because that's the first time in my life that me and my other team make a video game!I really like my game idea because that is a really big social issue because you know that these days some people want to have relationships together and have sex and when they do that: THEY GET PREGNANT AT AN EARLY AGE!That is the worst thing that can happen to a woman because they don't get to get the education that they need to go to college they wont graduate,and wont have a good career!That's why I think that people should stop with the relationships and start acting the age that they have and get married when they have a good career!I think that me and my team are making the best and that our game will be perfect like the others!
