Mini Game Project

The mini game project was more challenging than expected as the class students wanted more carrots, the wolf and the bunny. After many revisions and reading of codes we successfully completed our mini-projects and the class is getting ready to post it to the Project's page of their wiki's.

Choice of Games and Genre

Most of my students are boys and of course they either want to have racing and shooting games. I told them they can do that as long as it is educational and relates to a civics project.

September Quarterly Report

My quarterly report was submitted on time. I was amazed to see other reports with similar postings. Great minds think alike.

Civic Track

Today I went over the Civics Track document forward to me from Rachel, with my student; we discussed how to possibly make a shooter game along with other types of games utilizing a civics topic. The students had some AHA moments.

All the students blogs are complete; I am still trying to impress the fact that they need to spell check and review the blog writing before it is published and the fact the "i" should be capitalized since they are very important people. We discussed the use of IM terms and the fact that they should not be used for the class blog.

Blogs

Students have completed their blogs. Many of the students did not adhere to the Globaloria principles when designing their blogs and put videos of baseball and hacking flash games. We discussed copyright rules and regulations and how the blog should follow a Globaloria format.
