Our classmates Game Demos!


Today we had to go to our teammates game demos so I viewed K.T Ferrell and Amy Bess's game followed by Jessica Lynch and Jerimiah's game. They both had an AMAZING concept.
For Amy and K.t's game I thought itwas a great reflection on the high school dropout rates.The whole game play was cute and functionalble. The information that was in the game was educational I actually didnt know some of that info. and our game topics, well ideas for the game was similar. I really liked how the whole set up was they did really good.
As for Jess and Jerimiah, The game blew me away, I really can't even put it in words how great their game was. They did like a recycling game in west virgina and I felt ashamed after looking and actually playing their game. ENOUGH SAID!! Good job guys you all were freaking AMAZINGG!!

IT'S OVER!!

WOW I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. Chez I've enjoyed this class to the MAX. Your an amazing teacher, It wouldnt be the same if someone else taught this. Throughout this semester I would have to say that when I heard you announce "Making our own Game" I wanted to get switched,but i'm glad i stayed .
The people in this class are great, exspecially the people who clicked to flash, they were always willing to lend help for those who didnt quite understand. like me. I couldn't ask for a better class. Something interesting that we got to do in this class that i really enjoyed was being put into groups at random, we got to physially chat with eachother like you would usually do at home on a chatting website, we asked questions about the reading as we read the online textbook. It was a blast but while we were having fun....we read and learned something at the same time.
The biggest and hardest thing to me was working on the flash, I think it was more harder to me because I can't draw nor am I computer smart. And putting them together all at once was a challenge.....(foreal) but I watched and studied the tutorials and It made my life easier.I'm glad that was available to the students, because If I was a teacher and had to repeat myself over and over I we be bald!!
But this is It, I've had FUN and I hate to kiss This Globaloria class goodbye but I'm OUT OF HERE!! If it's possible I will still keep my gmail account and wiki page.
PEACE.LOVE.&FLASH.

4-WAY CHAT :D


Yesterday the coolest thing happened, me, Kt, Chad and Tiff formed a chat group as we read the online textbook. It was so fun. Like really, we can chat with our friends and read online at the same time? Along with reading the online textbook we each took turns sumerizing the section in which we all had read. For example, we all read, then Kt sumerized it, then we asked her questions about the reading and she answered the questions in the chat. Then we each took turns being the sumerizer. It was so cool, like in an ordinary class room it wouldn't have been fun a typical teacher would have said; "Get out your books, and do all the readings then answer the questions, or write a page report" so boring. Thats why I love this class you learn so much and you don't even realize it.

THE BEAUTIFUL LOVELY WEST VIRGINA


When others think of the wonderful state of West Virgina, they may think were all "hickish" and dumb with no home training.But that's clearly not the answer we have such beautiful breath taking mountains that can be captured and sold for millions there absolutely astonishing. I can honestly say that I've always wanted to move out of state but West Virgina is such an AMAZING place to live who could leave. I love living in the small state without worrying about tsunami wipe outs, blizzards, or earthquakes. Not to be rude I think I'll leave those troubles for some one else. West Virgina also has other great things and people that are our number one priority, Those would be our lovely coal miners who risk their lives just to keep our lights and power on and runing so we wouldn't live in a complete black out. It sucks to see all the deaths that that take place when theres people who willingly want to go so many feet under ground just to help out that state. But really who would have thought another tragic epic would occur in West Virgina. It really broke my heart to know that 29 minners were just killed by a mine explosion, all I can think of is their family thats left with all the great and sometimes bad memories of their love ones that did the daily routine of getting up in the mourining clean as a whistle and coming in at the "wee" hours in the night covered in dirt.I've never had to lose some one in a mine accident, but being in a loving caring High School made me realize West Virgina is the best state EVER. From here on out I will always be a proud moutaineer.

Each characters contributed something helpful to their society. Some was religious and some would hunt for food. The author also made a lawyer and a doctor. This story was creative and so detailed on everything.In the story the author gives us a very good picture and description of all of his characters. My favorite character is Friar because he's like cupid. I wish we could have someone like that in our world. That would be awesome. When we make our game the characters must be related to the game theme. If your theme is action and you have babies as characters that wouldn't look so good, and alot of people probably wouldn't play it. Any type of characterization is important in books, movies, and yes even in games. The characters in games should be creative and have something special or different about them. Alot of video games refelect a book or movie so it all goes together.

PJ the FOSTER!


I think it's great that a student can actually get into flash and memorize all the codes to makes things move,pop,and jump. P.j came into our class and really helped me understand how to get on his level, he described everything well in detail, like I really understood how to go in and change things. He also came to everyones computer and showed us all how to go back and change things if we screwed it up.Hee explained what we did and how it would work if it was left the way it was. I really hope that P.J goes and majors in computer things because he's AMAZING! THANKS

Animation!!

APRIL FOOLS-APRIL FOOLS-APRIL FOOLS-APRIL FOOLS-APRIL FOOLS-APRIL FOOLS!
Today our teacher assigned us to watch a tutorial on animation. The video was basically a step-to-step directional video that showed us how to make an object move, as she was telling us what we were going to accomplish in class today my head started spinning. As I watched the video I realized that was probably the easiest thing I've done in this class since I got in here. Me and my partner Kayla got on our flashes and created the moving object the very first time with no hessitations. I'm extra excited to add the aninmation to our mini game.
