Game

I want to make my game about something to do with math.  I prefer to make it about learning multiplication tables.  I want the game to be for younger children.  I want to make it like a racing game, but add some multiplication tables in it.  I think it would be an entertaining learning game.

Genre

I like the "vision learning" genre.  I think it is interactive.  I didn't like the Wind Energy game.  It was very boring.  All you do is watch the windmills.  You are not involved, aside from watching the windmills go round and round.  I found that game to be the worst game.

Playing to Learn

Racing Games is my favorite genre on the Wiki.  I like Drift Runners the best.  I also thought that the Sports genre was fun; however I like Drift Runners the best.  I think the sound and controls are really great in the game.  I like how the levels aren't too easy.  In my opinion the category "Racing Games" is the best.

Why it is Important to Protect Your Privacy on the Internet

It is important to protect your privacy on the internet because anyone could find out information about you.  You do not have to be in school to access your classmate’s blogs.  Anyone from anywhere could get on the internet and find out your location, last name, or anything similar to that, and that wouldn't be good.  It is also important to make sure you state the location of copyrighted work.  You would not want to put your real email and such because anyone could find out a lot of information about you by just knowing your email.

Globaloria

In Globaloria we have been learning about blogs and the wiki.  We have been learning how to post new blogs, and personalize our wiki.  We have learned how to add pictures to our blogs.  I did not know you could add pictures, videos, music, and many other things to your blog.  You can personalize how you want your blog to look.  You can write things about yourself.  Like what your interests are, or what you think of the Globaloria class.  It is all about you.  I like how the blog tells things about you.  You can also find your friend’s blog, and you can chose to follow their blog to see their latest profile updates, and newest blog entries.

Wiki

I find the Wiki hard to figure out. It took me awhile to understand. I am still learning about the Wiki. I find it hard to distinguish between the school wiki and my personal wiki. I do like that adding color and different styles of text are an option. I just wish that there was an easier way to do so. I like how you can add a picture of yourself as your avatar. I like how you can upload pictures, audio, links to other websites, and video. However I find it difficult to learn how to use all of these features, because instead of clicking a button, like for text, color, font size, font type, backgrounds, and if you want the page centered you have to type what you want to do, if it is an option.
