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!

teen pregnancy

Teen mothers more often give birth prematurely, that is, prior to 37 weeks, and premature babies face increased risks for health problems, both short- and long-term. Among these are problems with vision, cognition, the the baby’s respiratory and digestive systems. The babies of teen mothers are also at higher risk for low-birth-weight. Low- birth-weight may or may not be due to prematurity.

What I thought of the MINI GAME WEBEX




The day that we started the MINI GAME WEBEX,I thought that it was going to be pretty easy,but when we got to the MINI GAME WEBEX,it was really hard to follow because some of the students were talking and they were playing around and that made it hard for me to follow when she was explaining how to do it.The Webex was really helpful because that shows how much we need to pay attention when something is explained and that can affect us with our Technology grade because if we don't listen what she says or we are doing it wrong,then that could affect our grade and that could cause it with a B or a C and we really want to raise it up,so we can get the A and B honor roll and then we will go where we could have fun and have good food.Although Maredith's voice wasn't that loud I got some of the information that I needed for me to understand the MINI GAME WEBEX.I think that with the FLASH I did pretty well because the information that I got was the important thing.I was really getting used to with the codes,but some of them are really hard to find in the WIKI I didn't understand the last part of the game,but I have to read it again,so I can get the idea of what is it that it's talking about.I really get the idea of the other codes because they are easy to understand.I think that the most important things in the game are:To put the codes in.I really feel that I really get it more and more when I practice with it or when we go to it.

How I feel about FLASH


I feel that FLASH is really good practice and I do like that we are working more in Flash because we used to have free time,but we are starting to work more than to play games.We are actually going back to the steps if we understand how it works if we memorized it.It's going pretty well,I mean the class is really far from the steps and it seems that some of it we really did memorized it.Flash is a really good website because you can practice on how your game is going to look like and that can help you with your game by doing different things with it.Though that some people are having a little trouble working with the steps they still get the idea a little bit.Although the steps are easy to follow and it's nothing to be stressing about.It really makes me feel proud of myself because I haven't worked in Flash because when I first saw Flash,I didn't even know what to do,but now that I know more about Flash,I'm not that confused no more.If we were to do our game without Flash our game will never work and we wont know how it is used or our game wont make any sense because we didn't use the Flash,but since we did use it,we know more and more how our game will be like.The thing that I don't like about Flash is,to put all those codes for our carrot and our bunny to move,but if you do that,it will make more sense and you wont struggle with your bunny and carrot.I think that Flash is the best website for students to work with!

My game idea


Well,my social issue is Education,my game topic is Teen Pregnancy,and my Math Objective is 6.Well,since I'm doing Teen Pregnancy,my goal in the game is to,not to get the other people to be a teen parent at an early age.There's going to be like problems that have to do with the Objective number 6 and you know that Objective 6 is about the processes that you will have to choose like multiplication,division,subtraction,or addition.There's going to be your character and your friends that will have to help you like put signs and give them to the other people.The mission is basically preventing Teen Pregnancy because you know that some people get pregnant at an early age,well,my game is preventing Teen Pregnancy,so the others don't get pregnant at an early age.They should play my game because if you play it then you might not be a teen parent and you know the consequences being a teen parent because if you get to be one,then you and the other mate that you have,will have to take care of that child.That's why I want them to play my game,so they could know the consequences being a teen parent at an early age.I want the players to learn the purpose of the game which is what are the consequences for being a teen parent and to not get in the way with Teen Pregnancy because when you get pregnant at that early age you can't go to college and finish school and you wont have a career that you would love to have,so that's what I want the players to learn.I chose this topic because Teen Pregnancy does have to do with Education you know that some students have to drop school because they are now going to take care of that child for the mate to not do it all by herself or himself.It will also you show you why don't get pregnant at an early age cause you wont finish your Education in school,so it's just basically showing you the consequences of not to get pregnant at an early age.
