USA article today

    What is the name of the game? Which software company released the game? What is the age group that the game is for? Applied to the correct age group, would this game be fun? What are the ways that the game is educational? How does this article relate to what we have learned and talked about in this class?


 The name of the game is Cosmos Chaos. The age group for this game is 3 to 7. I think if it was applied to the right age group it would be a great learning experience for people that are interested in learning about all kinds of categories at once. It introduces vocabulary words in all fields of learning. This article relates to what we learned in class because we played other games from previous classes to get the feeling of how to put together a game of our own.

How do you feel about this type of learning experience versus the "normal" classroom setting that you are used to?

 This type of learning experience is good in some ways and bad in some ways. It is good because you work at your own pace instead of working until due dates. The bad part about it is that you wont want to work because you don't feel pressured because of due dates but if you get behind you can always caught up depending on how fast you work or how much you get done in a few days.

What skill have you learned that you think you will be able to use after the class is over?

   I learned how to make wiki and a blogger which the accounts will always be here so i can still use them later on in life for reference. I learned how to make a game and when i finish it i could use it to help people learn the bones and the names of some bones.

the ending!

  The most difficult part of the class was actually making the game and learning all the new stuff that went to making the game like the coding and adding buttons, even though my group didn't finish our game it was still frustrating. The best part of the class is that you can work at your own pace so if you get behind its your fault. I didn't like presenting in front of the class and globaloria.
