On November 23, 2009 2 visitors came and discussed our game topics, and formats. First, we made up our own game and used the topic Health and more specifically Lung Cancer. We discussed how are game would be set-up. We said that the game would include something like a smoking monster and a character would be shooting cures/antidotes back at the monster. (Cure/Antidote being stop smoking gum, patches, water, exercise, and all things to avoid smoking)
Finally we discussed our own game plans with Ms. Rachel, Ms. Meredith, and Ms. Shannon. Although we could not physically see Ms. Shannon and Ms. Meredith we could hear them. We contacted them through phone and they listened to our conversations. Almost like eaves-dropping! Just Kidding! And then accidentally I hung up because I lifted the phone and pressed the button and it went uuuu....! Ha ha I was laughing and I felt ashamed but then I was fine! Mrs. Ross-Miller asked if I wanted to present. Well actually she told me I was going to present! And as I was presenting Ms. Shannon and Ms. Meredith I was heading in the right direction and she gave me some good suggestions! Then I listened to the other's presentation and gave good critique and suggestions.

This week I was finishing up my Game Prep Questions. I learned how to make text boxes, change color and font. I leasrned how to type and write in Flash. This week was alittle complex because we had to type our Questin 1-7 in Flash. I didn't like doing Flash over and over because when there no carrot or bunny and without them there's no fun! I mean come on who wants to write about their game! I want to get to the desighning! Although I guess planing ahead is good.
My excitment about my game probably would be desighing the game and getting to see my work somewhere! I mean that would be AWESOME! I'm not a big gamer ,but creating a game would be AWESOME!!!!! I mean if I moved to a different school (which I won't) I would be ahead of every body!

Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving I am either going to with my dad to celebrate with them or I am with my mom. I love going with my mom and it is going to be the 2nd year I have been with my mom's family or it will be the 1st year I am with my dad. If I go with my dad I will be with my mom for Christmas and if I go with my mom I will be with my dad for Christmas with my dad. I don't really care which parent I go with just as long as I'm with family. Yay! I'm really happy about spending time with both parents because I love them both equally no matter what I do! And they love me no matter what I do! Yay!

Flash

This week in Globaloria our main focus is on Flash and action script. We are learning how to make moving objects, layers, adding color, and sound. I learn so much in Globaloria that is helpful at home or at any computer. Sometimes it can be a bit boring and frustrating! I mean I love it and all but who in their right mind make us watch a 20 minute instructional video!!!!! UGH!!! Anyway this is what happened!
First, we watched that dumb 20 minute instructional video on flash. Second, we went to flash and we made this characters and then we made them ''symbols.'' During that I got totally lost in assisting others! I was on the edge of a tantrum, but then Karina was keeping me updated! She helped me and I helped her. Overall I had a lot of fun doing action script.
I learned how to add animation, and motion. I learned how to go crazy in 10 minutes! I learned how to delete pictures.
I had a lot of fun doing this assignment and look forward to further challenges! Thank You for all you do Mrs. Ross-Miller!!!

Red Ribbon Week! I'm Drug Free!!!

"Red Ribbon week" is celebrating staying drug free and helping other stay and be drug free. As students we must pledge to be drug free and help fellow people drug free. We need to confront those who choose to do and sell drugs and warn them of the harmful things drugs can do to them physically and emotionally. To Me staying drug free is more important than my cat Angel!! Drugs can play an important or a small role in your life. Staying drug free is important because it can really effect day-to-day life.

My thoughts about Enrique Camarena..... Brave..... Heroic..... Changer..... Guardian Angel. He was all of these things. He was wiling to throw himself out into the open dangerous world just to stop people from further going with the drug process. He had three children and I'm pretty sure they lost a load when their father's body was recovered. He had won several awards for busting some major drug dealers. And the small ones he caught could of turned into a major corporation ,but he stopped it! He did the work! He made people realize how important stopping these kinds of people was.

These are some things to remember when on the internet! Be careful of what you do!

1. Never to give out personal information such as your name, home address, school name, or telephone number in a chat room or on bulletin boards.
2. Also, never send a picture of yourself to someone you chat with on the computer without your parent's permission
3. Do not meet someone without the permission of your parents
4. Tell your parents right away if you read anything on the Internet that makes you feel uncomfortable

Technology

Technology is one of my strongest subjects. It is amusing, challenging, and keeps me occupied.
To me nothing is very frustrating. I like most things about technology. Although sometimes getting things to be placed, or copied, or pasted, or here or there is difficult. But all it takes is a little playing around with it and trying new things.

Making an improvement in this class would be keeping up with the class and paying attention. Also instead of messing around I should be trying to focus.

Mrs. Ross-Miller in my opinion is doing a fantastic job getting us to complete our work and projects. I love the way she is understanding and wiling to comfort you. Also the way she is firm and honest when that kind of teacher is needed.

I understand all of the assignments and concepts in Globaloria. I like this class very much.

Somethings that I would like to see more of would probably be media, sports, graphics, all students being engaged in the lesson, and modern technology.

And maybe some incorporation in YouTube or reading or sports or something that will make us wonder!!!

Thank you Mrs.Ross-Miller for the effort and being such a wonderful teacher!

Thank You!!!

Game Genres

The shooting stars are making good progress with the genres of action adventure and life simulation.

We picked Action and Adventure because every game need a little 'pow' and the gamer must be interested in the topic/subject. Also because we would like like the gamer to progress in his or her session.

We picked Life Simulation because in the situations in the game they could help with resolving the problems. Also because they could encourage people to help out in communities, shelters, and maybe do some type of service.
