http://www.icivics.org/ The site teaches us about the government on how they get people to the United States even though they want to come here for no reason.I played this game and it teaches me that the person should have a good reason to enter the United States and if they want to just enter to hang our and do bad stuff,they are not allowed to enter.It teaches about the government and how they run for it as candidates.I also played this game that you have to ask this question to candidates and they have to have a good response,so that way they get elected.I learned that a lot of things that I didn't even learn before about government like how to be U.S citizens,how to elect the right person that you think will make a good candidate,and how to make the right decisions.I also liked the fact that in the game,you can make your own question,well not necessarily make your question,you can just ask the question that is provided for you.I also liked the game that is about a fairy and the people that want to become U.S citizens,then they should or have a good reason to become one.I really liked the iCivics because it teaches me a lot of things that I didn't even know about the government like for example what are the requirements to become a U.S citizen and also how to elect the right candidate for election day.

Nintendo 3DS

http://dogpile.com

The new Nintendo 3DS is a game console developed and manufactured by Nintendo 3D without using any glasses.The Nintendo 3DS features backward compatibility with Nintendo DS series software,including DSi software.It also has a 3D Depth Slider that allows you to immediately adjust the intensity the 3D settings on the 3DS System.Something interesting that I liked was that the Motion Sensor can react to the motion and tilt of the system,so if the players are tilting or moving sideways the Nintendo,then it responds instantly.It costs $250.00 because it has all of this new stuff in there.I think that it is a cool game console because it has all these things in there,although it is kind of expensive,it would be cool having it.

Well,since we already know how we can create this game,we have to think about what we want to do with it.I guess that if I create a game that is so good for the students or learners to learn about it,I think that it would sell such as in the store,play it in the computer,and anywhere.I think that if it is an entertainment game,it would be a fun game.If I were able to think what game or what social issue would be is having to do with saving the animals such as if they are endangered species.The game that I would create would go in the computer where it falls in the category learning like Math or Reading.This game will be educational for kids that are in elementary school and middle school maybe even high school.I don't really want it to be like a boring game where you have to know all of your multiplication or you have to know all about this,I want it for the other kids to enjoy the game and hopefully learn about it.

Disaster In Japan
I think that it was really sad that people did die by the tsunami that covered most of Japan.I really think that the kids that were in there were all hungry and scared because they have known what can happen to places if these disastrous things happen.The people were also giving them food for them to not be starving,but you can also see that it wasn't like a lot of food for them to last a long time because all of the food,electricity,and homes were all destroyed,but they have at least food for them to eat.The way I see it was that the tsunami or earthquake was a severe damage for Japan,all of it had been destroyed by the water.As we all know,tsunami's,earthquakes,and other natural disasters can harm to places and to other people.Others like family memebers,friends,and other people, have died because of that cause.The things that I or we can do is to give the children food,so that way the food would last longer for the kids to be fed.We can also tell about these natural disasters for some people that don't even know them.

PSP NGP
I think that it was pretty cool because now with the PSP,you can also touch te back of it to make moves on whatever game that you are playing.That also tells us that the Technology in these days,is getting much advanced because now the games and other electronics are popular.They also have the true name that is named the "PSP NGP" which sounds even cooler when you have heard of it.I also like that people are now thinking on making the electronics be more cooler and fancier.In the video,it looks like you are controlling the game by just moving it by side to side or just touching the bottom of it.I really liked the idea that you can do whatever you want with it.It has the bottom of it,you can use it as a phone,it works as a camera,and it has Internet too.It was pretty smart for them and I guess hard for them too because with all those things in the system,would take an amount of time.Since it is an electronic that is becoming really popular,it may cost a lot of money!

Mad Hot Ballroom


--What does teamwork mean to you?--

I think that teamwork means to me working together as a team and never let each other down.
When they are dancing with their partner they are trying to get to know their partner,so that way at the end they will work together.

--How do you see these students trying to work together?--


I see that they are trying their best by dancing together even if they are shy.They are also trying to talk to each other while they are dancing because maybe if they wouldn't be able to communicate,they would end up stepping onto each other.They also provide opportunities for the other people who want to learn things that are new.They were also talking about how the girls feel like uncomfortable when the teacher comes and dances with them, so they are already knowing how to start a conversation and what are the things that they don't like.

--How important was teamwork for these students?--

It was important to them because now they are getting close to the competition,so now they are working so hard for them to know how to dance with their partner.
When they were announcing who were going to the semi-finals,everybody who didn't got picked,they were each supporting each other.
Working as a team helped some of the students.
One of the students was really close to be a street kid,but within the dancing,he changed his path on being a dancer.


--What do you think is the main message that these students should take away from this experience?--

I think that the message is that we have to work as a team if we want to reach the things that we want.Also,we have to support each other when we are having problem about something that makes us feel bad and not wanting to do anything.

--How will you work together with your teammates in Globaloria?--

We will work in our team by making an agreement when we don't know what to do.We can also support each other when we are having difficulties maybe with Flash.Most importantly,we have to work as a team by doing the things together and having fun with them.

The game that I was playing that I liked was, Shape Inlay Math Game.I liked it because the things that you have to do in there is that they will give you a puzzle where you have lots of shapes and see where you can put them.The shapes are down on the bottom and you have to hurry and see where you can put them, since they give you a specific place where you can put them.If you don't hurry up the shapes will stack even more, and when it has stacked all the way to the other side, you will lose the game.Well if you win, in the instructions it says that you will create a picture and the shapes will be there.Since I haven't really won the game it sad in the instructions that you will create a shape or picture.The thing that I liked about it is that, you can put the shapes anywhere that you want,so there's not specific place that you have to put them on.
