The Losers , Help a kiddo
I picked your game because i wasn't like other games where you just moved a character and pass levels, but instead it gives important details about your topic.

Respect
Respect- Means to be in your seat quietly and not speaking while the teacher is talking . kind and grateful to your surroundings and courteous to others.
What does it look like?
During Globaloria it should look like a student quietly in their seat and putting lots of effort in their work. Not surfing trough the web and disturbing others.
During Breakfast/Lunch it should look like a student sitting down quietly and if eating a meal the student should clean after his mess.
When a visitor is on campus that is when everyone should be on their best behavior and should try to look good for the school.
When we visit other places were suppose to respect the place and act exemplary.

Notes 2-23-12
Notes
Today we need to create a Style factor and a Originality factor. We are also to write down who does what or who did what. We each have to take part in our work. Save each file as ''team name_ (scene name)''. Has to be very specified and saved in our skydrive so it won't be replaced. We are to make sure we have a next button and a previous button so people can change form scene to scene and go back. After we are done we complete our primary game scene. In style factor we are to be very specific and differ a lot. We should explain are own individual style and development. In audience we can choose what age groups our game attracts.

Nike
People in Indoneisha face a lot of poberty because of the lack of work and because they hardly get paid anything to feed themselves and their family's. The fact that Phill Knight didn't even want to contribute to a 10,000 dollar donation is insane! Hes a very wealthy mine and has millions of dollars and can't even give his employees a simple raise. In Mylasia employees that work for nike are forced to sign a three year contract and work for them under horrible conditions.

My topic is about Volcanoes and natural disasters
This is a Volcano eruption found in http://informationcentral0.tripod.com/id13.html
This issue interests me because thousandths of people have have died in earthquakes, hurricanes, volcano eruptions, Tsunamis and floods.
I want people to learn what others have to go through and to recognize those who have died in accidents and how to stay away from one or important facts that can be useful in these kinds of situations.
This issue needs to be addressed because to many deaths are occurred per natural disasters so maybe they can be someway to prevent that from happening by maybe creating a game?

Emperor King
Emperor King
1. What challenges do the penguins have to overcome?
The penguins have to stay alive, stay warm, stay away from predators and also eat. They need to also keep their population from extinction.
2. How does their habitat challenge their livelihood each day?
Because Antartica is a very cold place and sometimes it can be too cold that it causes the penguins to die.
In their habitat they also find some predators out to eat them so mainly the new born penguins but also the adult ones are in danger of animals below the ice so for when they go catch food/prey other aniimals are looking for penguins to be their prey.
3.What types of adaptions do penguins need in order to survive brutal winters ans predators?
Thicker layer of fur to stay warmer. Better use of their body parts such as hands so they can stay away from predators and defend themselves
4.Why is there a period of time in which there is practically no sunlight? How does this effect the climate?
The reason why is, Antartica is all of the way in the bottom of the Earth not much sunlight travels to the bottom of the Earth so it causes it to be cold and dark.
* Why is it important that the ground is frozen solid during the months of breeding?
So they can have a place to breed also have have something to set foot upon they can't just be swimming all their life because they have lungs not gills therefore they need land and ice. We can also do something to help the penguins survive by not releasing that many greenhouse gasses in to our atmosphere and the way we can all prevent that is buy maybe using a bike once in a while or conserve gas and by not using much gas can help a lot to our penguins.

Gamer's solve scientific problems
How did gamers use the computer gameFoldit to solve the protein folding mystery?
it showed them a model of the low protein problem and from there they can figure out whats the problem and how can they fix it.
Who can participate in this problem solving and be a player in Foldit?
we can participate in this by creating our own models and figuring out how to cure the situation.
What can critical thinking do for science?
critical thinking can allow you to find an answer without having allot of resources and it can give u a new skill and can help you allot in life.
If you could solve a mystery through gaming for any kind of disease or illness in the world, what would it be?
I would solve the cure for cancer and how to prevent it from spreading. I would create a game showing people what they can do to prevent any of this disease get them.

September 11,2001
9-11
September 11 was a tragic day...
How old were you on September 11, 2001?
I was 3 years old and i cant remember what i was doing but i knew what age i was and new i was alive and would of probably been doing something unimportant.
2. When did you first learn about the attacks and who explained the events to you?
I first learned that someone had took the plane with passengers and drove it to the twin towers killing them selves and everyone in them this happened twice my dad said.
3. What kind of impact did these attacks have on your life or your parents lives?
i feel that the thought of nearly three thousand Innocent people dying is horrible. When i had herd who had bombed the World Trait Center i was angry. I felt like wanting to do something to change the history of this happening but i knew i did nothing. Hoping community would donate money to help the one's that have suffered and in need. Someone needs to step up and help them. Ten years passed it now the tenth year since the twin towers collapsed finally the people that have suffered from it have recovered.
1. What was the issue with this game?
The issue is creating a game that makes fun of a incident with such magnitude is no laughable matter.
2. How do you feel about it?
I feel that people are going to get seriously offended because of this game.
3. What is the problem with portraying on such an awful violent event through a video game?
Posting a game that creates such a bad feeling about 9-11 especially knowing that thousands of people past away during that incident is completely insane.
4. How can you make sure that your web games tell the whole story or teach a lesson in an honorable way?
By showing facts and statements about the commemorated situation that you're trying to create you're game about. not showing blood and gore that game would of been very offensive to several people

2 single story 2011
Danger of a single story
What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community?
A single story about the community would mean how one person grew thinking this certain way and then finish off thinking the other way it could be a place, person or culture.
Describe a single story you have heard told about your community. What is missing from that story? How could people learn more about that community?
When people think of Texas they think of cowboys, cows and horses but although they never actually been here to experience what were like or what we like to do. Whats missing is they never asked anybody on their opinion on what they themselves the people that are actually living their. To be able to make people learn about culture all over the world is to get speaker to talk to everybody so they can acknowledge that not everyone is what you picture in you're mind.
Describe a single story you have heard about another community. How did you learn that story? How could you find out more about that community? Whenever i think of Africans i think of no shirt sunburned really skinny and eat once a day but as i learned more about Africans and their culture i found out i was wrong. I can find out more if teachers speakers or parents start teaching us more and more information on cultures and people.
How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community?
Maybe creating a game with important facts about different community's and sharing good ideas that can be used to prevent this.
