* Thanksgiving[:

Thanksgiving. I love holidays. Ecspecially the ones you get to spend time with your family! Family is actually the closest people to you. And, I love my family.(: I know that sounds cheesy but, whatever. Well, Thanksgiving is the perfect time for you and your family to socialize while eating a delicious dinner. I ecspecially love my grandmother's banana pudding! Yummmm(: But, the turkey is the best. My family is the most important thing in my life. That's why I love thanksgiving. To spent time the people I love the most!

Hmmmm; Flash...[:

Flash is really cool. I love picking diferent tools and colors!!!(: When my teachers, Mr.Lester and Mrs.I.Barker, showed me flash, I was kind of nervous. But, now that I got to work with it and check it out, I really like it! It's not complicated at all! (: I really can't think of any dislikes that I have about Flash. Honestly, I like allot better than the regular Paint accessory. One of things I like aobut Flash is, if you wanted to draw a perfect square, you would click on the rectangle tool. After that, you click in a certain spot, and drag it until the shape is as big as you want it. And, here comes the cool part! It will automaticlly turn that square into a perfect one!(: It really is better than your regular Paint accessory! Tutorials we watched, and read about were very helpful for me too.

Let's Finally Get into the Good Stuff! xD

I am very excited for the fact that we are in our teams now. I am really easy to work with, so I have no problems with my teammates. My teammates are Rebecka, the coder, Dustin, the artist, and Alexis, the manager. Our team is called, The Lean Mean Gaming Machine. We chose that name because it's funny and we wanted people to laugh at it. Anyway, So far, our idea is to have a super hero named "Multiplication Man" who flies around answering multiplication problems. We have allot to go. But, we started somewhere. I can't wait to be finished with our own game that we designed! Now, were getting into the fun stuff. It's going to take work. But, you can have fun while designing the game. We just needed a push and Mr.Lester and Mrs.I.Barker gave it to us.

My year in Globaloria so Far....

Globaloria is really great. Honestly, it isn't hard at all so far. It is real easy. But, the hard part for most people is that you have to listen well. Especially at the beginning because if you get behind now, you will struggle for the rest of the school year. I think I am doing well so far because I listen, I do excactly what they tell me, I never go faster than my teachers are going, I stay right with them, and I am eager to learn a whole lot more while I'm in this class. This year so far has been great! Nothing can get better than Globaloria. Knock on wood! Because something can go bad. I still have a fear of stage fright. And, I need to overcome that real soon. I really like the Playing To Learn games. They're interesting and thoughtful. I really liked this one game called The Cost of Life. I love the idea of the game! It is just so addictig. I get most of my videos for my Wiki page from Viddler. That's a good site. I Globaloria, we have a blast! I wish that everyoe could have this opportuity to be i Globaloria.

Our Safety While On the Internet

The internet is as safe as you make it. Yes, the internet can be dangerous. But, only if you give out personal information. Okay, here's an example, lets say that I gave this guy that is a total stranger to me, information about where I go to school to, where I live, what bus I ride, or even the littlest thing, what my last name is. I understand why Mr.Cambell banded yahoo messenger, myspace, meebo, ebuddy, and other things like that. You may not realize it now, but, he really does care about us. And, if he didn't, he wouldn't have blocked all of those chatting websites. I know your thinking: Why in the world would Mr.Cambell block all of the fun sites? Does he want us to die of boredom? Well, I thought that too. It's not about him wanting you to be bored out of your mind while your at school. It's you being as safe as he can get you. And, Mr.Cambell can't do it alone. If you want to be safe, do not give out any information. It doesn't matter who it is! You can use the internet as much as you want to but, only if you use it the safe way. I am not saying the internet is horrible and it should have never been invented or anything because I use it allot too. I am just saying, use the internet safetly. If you follow the easy rules of Safety On the Internet, the internet will be as safe or as dangerous as you make it to be.

Mathmatics

I am not good in Math but, at least I try. Math isn't my favorite subject. For that reason, I don't like it. Math is probably my worst subject. I try to learn Math. Not just for me, my family too. I like going to Study Island. It helps me understand Math a little bit more. My mom expects me to try my best. If I had to choose a favorite lesson in Math, I would choose scientific notation. I understand it. Most of the time I don't get Math. But, the reason I like scientific notation is because that is a lesson that I actually like and understand. My least favorite thing in Math is square roots. I never got understood them. So, you can tell that I try to find something that I am good at. At least I didn't give up. I keep trying. That's why I am very glad that I have been chosen to do Globaloria.

What I would like to learn Globaloria.

So far, I love Globaloria. I would like to learn many, many things. I have always struggled in math. I don't think it was the teachers. The problem was me. I want this class so I can be good at something for once. I have an advantage. Every one doesn't have this opportunity. I am very lucky that I have this chance to learn more about video gaming. One of the things I like about Globaloria is that you have to use the computer allot. So, as I am learning more about video gaming design, I am also learning more about the computer. When I design a video game, I want it to be fun, but, educational. So, when your having fun, your learning something at the same time. I am nervous to stand in front of allot of people. But, I would like to overcome my fear. I am very excited to see how much I have learned in this class.
