Research.

Do your kids know who their talking to?
Everyday in the US, 2,200 children are reported missing. Only 1 of every 6 are recovered due to a photograph. Some may run away, but some are also kidnapped. Families are torn apart, never knowing if you will see your child again is one of the hardest things to live threw. With education from schools, parents, police officers, and so many other sources we can prevent children from talking to strangers and help them point out whom could be a rapist.

The tragic abduction and murder of 6-year-old Adam Walsh in 1981, as well as those of Etan Patz and Russel Mort, brought national attention to the issues faced by the families of missing children each year. Local business and community leaders, including Lou and Kathie Bivona and local child welfare agencies, responded by forming the Adam Walsh Child Resource Center in 1984. Located in Rochester, New York, the Adam Walsh Center merged with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in 1990 to become the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children/New York Branch.

Everyday someone can step in and help find these children before another murder happens. Teach children about internet safety as well as safety in real life, every child needs to know.

Prototype.

 
 Making a prototype for Stranger Danger was quite the experience. Mrs. Smith brought in little angels as people the first day and I had to transform them into rapist, I'm sure everyone in the class really enjoyed that! Recorded was probably the most difficult part to making the prototype. I knew what I was going to say, but announcing it aloud was difficult, I could not keep myself from laughing. In the end everyone finished including myself, it was rather fun.

Genres

I am most interested in the simulation genre. Life simulation games are games I already play like Sims. I'd be most interested in these types of games and am actually curious about how they're being made, I'd like to be able to make one.

Protect your privacy

You need to protect your privacy online for serveral reasons, most of which most people already know. If you put your personal information online such as your name, age, phone numbers, emails, and ect there is an unlimited amount of people who may be able to read and/or find that information. Be safe and keep your information safe, especially in Globaloria!







p.s.
I cannot upload picture for my blog, sorry.

Globaloria

In Globaloria I hope to learn and actually remember how video games get started and work, instead of only playing them I'll understand them as well. I will make a game that's easily understandable, maybe something like Dora the Explorer! I'm most afraid of failing your class because everything I do in this class I do wrong, but hopefully that will change.
