A New Semester

2012-01-26T01:29:00.003-05:00

At the beginning of Game Design Class tasks are different and unfamiliar. These unfamiliar tasks seem confusing but it is just a matter of learning what is expected and learning the environment of the course. This is a class that is so different from others. This course is about online communication, multitasking, creating, and learning new concepts and ideas. Students are always busy doing hands-on assignments. This class goes fast every day.This is a great class.

Steve Jobs

I saw a game about Gates and Steve Jobs on Globaloria Central. it reminded me about the video I showed my other two classes. It was about the life of Steve Jobs. Steve has given a lot to society and life has changed in every aspect because of Steve. A Hong Kong teenager had a wonderful idea of compassion and creativity and made a silhouette of Steve which he added it to the symbol of Apple. I wish I would have thought of this. What bothers me is that no one in the land of where he lived and worked thought to create this.

Class Moving Along

My Globaloria class students have been working diligently. I have found they work together well in groups and with other groups. Learning logs are now a habit. I have included the students in written communication with Denise and Yasmin. I want them to feel that they are part of a community and that they can voice their questions and answers. I watch that they don't skip an assignment or two. They are excited about getting their games on their way. I have not as yet watched the prototypes, but when I do I am going to evaluate if they succeeded not doing a quiz game. I have enjoyed working with this class.

HOPES FOR A NEW SCHOOL YEAR!

This will be a great school year, but I want summer to go slowly first. During this school year I will be teaching Globaloria both semesters. My plan is to spend more time with blogging, commenting, knowledge communities, and the education of the students' game designs. My goal is keep up with Betty. Last year felt like a success, but this year will be a new beginning of new hopes and ideas. I hope everyone has a great year.
