Blog Assignment 12/10/10
Can your game be both a Civics and Stem Game?
Yes I do believe that our game can involve both civics and stem, but it depends on how you look at the subject. Our game would involve a missing/stolen ipad, so it can relate to civics in how a law was broken or rights were violated when someone stole it. It particularly relates to STEM, because it falls under the technology category and mostly involves technology.
Please list five game ideas that could be both Civics and Stem Games.

Please list five game ideas that could be both Civics and Stem Games.
- A game that might involve electronic voting to win win an election.
- A game where someone uses a gps to navigate through town to get to jury duty.
- A game where a computer messed up the constitution and you have to correctly re-arrange it.
- A game where you use a satellite to bounce important news information to the people via television, or web.
- A game where you use current technology and watercraft and the oceans currents to help clean up an oil spill.

Blog Assignment 12/2/10
Reflect on the class so far. Do you like working in flash? Why or why not?
When I first came into this class I was not sure what it would be like. I know it is more challenging than I thought it would be, but I have learned a lot more about programs on the computer this year than I have in recent years. Sometimes the flash can be difficult, (mostly the code involved), but I do enjoy working with the program and seeing how everything comes together to create a scene or action.

I found this resource on my own and found that it related to our game. It really relates well to our game because the link brings you to a website that shows you how to take apart an ipad, and our game is about finding and putting together pieces of an ipad. It is also relevant because it deals with the topic of technology, which is the focus of our game in general.

Blog Post for 11/12/10
Creating scenes in a sequence helps game designers tell the "story" of their game through a narrative. How are you using visual storytelling through your sequence of scenes to help players learn about your topic?
- Basically as our main character Oscar travels throughout the levels, his interactions with the characters will tell the storyline.
What are examples of games you played in the Playing to Learn topic that use storytelling to teach a concept well?
-The game WV animal rescue squad does a good job of describing it's topic of properly taking care of your pets.
How have other narrative games influenced your game?
- The specific type of information each game provides helps give us an idea about the setup and gameplay that might take place in our game. For example, compared to mario we have similar platforms to avoid objects.

Blog Assignment for 10/29
List a new idea or concept (not just a "fact") you've learned about your game topic since you started this course.
- Basically a cool feature I have learned about the technology topic is working with flash, and more specifically dealing with the motion tween. The motion tween may not be particularly new, but it's new to me and I find it interesting how you can make objects move in all types of directions. You can even draw a new object and add a motion tween to make it move, so it fits quite well in with our class of making a game.
How did you come to learn this?
- I came to learn about this from our class specifically, and having Mrs. Chenoweth teach us how it is used.
What sources where helpful to you in gaining this understanding?
-Basically my sources were from class instruction, and the globaloria tutorials about how to use it.
What makes these news or research sources especially informative and trustworthy? Well globaloria would be especially trustworthy since it's the site teaching us how to use flash, so it would be the most reliable source we have.
