About My Topic !

My Topic is about the importance of bullying, I'm going to try to teach people to not be afraid of it and have the courage to stand up against it.


The Issue interests me because this is a very big deal in the united states that is affecting many people-mostly teenagers. It's not right for other people to be doing this and I want to prevent it. When I heard about it , I was shocked , How could people have the guts to do this to others.


I want people to learn NOT to be afraid of bullying and speak up against it. Most teenagers are scared to tell anybody because they have been threatened by the bully not to tell anybody or they are going to hurt them more, so that's why I want to tell those kids out there who are a victim of this ; not to be scared . I'm going to teach them to have courage and confidence in themselves and stand up against bullying.


This Issue needs to be adressed because it's a very big problem here in the United States. Some victims are not being payed attention, and they need that help. It needs to be adressed as soon as possible ,because as we speak there can be any kid out there being bullied right now.

Update The Blog : Imagining Your Game !

Who are you designing your game for ?


I am basically designing my game for everybody as long as they can play it, they can be little and have their parents teach them and guide them through the game. I just want everybody to play the game and get something valuable out of it.


What will your game teach the player about your topic ?


It will show the players not to be afraid of bullies and if they do encounter a bully ; like in my game, it will show them how to confront them and not be afraid of them


Where does your game happen ?


I think my game will happen at school, because many bullying occasions happen at school. Many occasions do happen at school and I want the players to see that when the bullying does occur at school , they don't have to be afraid to speak up


How does your game world teach the player about your topic ?


The game will be happening at school, so there will be some teachers at school ; so the players will learn  not to be afraid to speak up and tell a teacher


Why is a game a way better of understanding your topic than a quiz ?
I think that many people don't like quizzes, I mean some do, but the majority don't like taking quizzes. Anyways a game is more complex, it has illustrations and I know that people like that. A game can teach you something valuable but at the same time it shows you how to have fun with the lesson it's trying to teach you. Even if you take a quiz or play a game , the most important thing is that you learn the valuable lesson that is trying to teach you

March of the Penguins ' !

1. The penguins have to overcome the big strong cold winds that go through them while they all huddle together, getting food, watching out for predators and taking care of their babies without being harmed.


2. The penguins habitat affects them because the snow and the ice that they live in might melt and they need that to survive. Also where they live, might be another animal's habitat and that animal could be dangerous or not.


3.The penguin's fur is very thick and warm so that protects them from the cold, they have long and strong claws that they can use when they are being attacked or wanting to. They are also made of blubber so that can be a strong weapon they have against any predators.


4. The reason there would be NO sunlight in antartica for a period of time might be because it's winter time and during winter there might be no sun in that specific area of antarctica. With no sunlight it might affect the penguins by freezing them to death, because they not only live in the freezing cold ; they also need some sun.


5.The climate change can affect the penguins on their mating ritual by the wrong tempature being in the penguins habitat. It can affect or make something go wrong in the mating ritual. 

Playing to Learn, Game Review

What did you learn from your choice of games and genres to review ?


I learned many valuable stuff to help me in my creation of my game, like for example I learned the different genres I can use for my game, the social issues I can teach with any genre, and the way I can send messages through my game to get to other people.


Name any game features that stood out to you, either because they were interesting or because  they could be improved ?


I really liked the way that Sally's Energy Ride game was played out, the game consisted of facts being taught to the player as it played the game. I thought that, that was a great Idea of the game creator to do that because it teaches the players about the social issue and they can have fun at the same time playing the game.


I wonder if a game can have more than one genre and have different social issues being taught at the same time . >?????? 

Playing to Learn, Genre: Sports & Racing !

A sports and racing game basically consists of the player trying to get to a destination before the other players get there. Like for example a NASCAR racing game would be a game that would represent a racing game. Also it involves sports, it would be like playing Baseball, Basketball, Soccer, Football, or any other sport that involves playing against another player\s.


The game that taught me a new skill or subject : The game that taught me a subject was called Gravitee, it showed me the masses of the planets and how far they are away from each other.






The game that taught me information about a new or existing social issue : The game that taught me about a new existing social issue was called The Final Countdown. It was about the player racing over the whole united states but along each state I raced through there was a fact about that state being affected by the oil spill. The Oil Spill was a very big deal and it was a great issue to talk about






The game or games I liked the best : I really liked the game called Bullseye because it had to do with a a sport which was archery. I've never actually played archering in real life but this game sort of taught me.






What happens in the game or games : The player has to shoot the shooter alleys to the the target that needs to be hit.






How do you play the game or games : In the game the player has the  arrow and is ready to shoot. The goal for the player is to try to shoot the target which is the one in the middle in the whole circle of targets. It takes sort of a mouse skill, -I would say !  because you have to use the mouth to shoot so if your good using mouses then you have a very high chance of winning.
