MOST EFFECTIVE Learning Game

'''GAME REVIEW #1: MOST EFFECTIVE Learning Game'''
   
* Name of the game that taught you the MOST about its learning topic:Medical Mysteries was the most effective game to me.
* What social issue or educational topic does the game explore?In this game you learn about medical mysteries such as the plegue.
* What can you learn from this game?I can learn about the mysteries and about what they're doing now about them.
* What game genre is it? Do you think this genre is a good choice for creating a learning game? Why or why not?It is in the adventure game genre.I think it is a great choice to teach people about things that have happened in the medical field because medical is something that is always going to be in this world.
* Design Analysis (Does it look good? Does it clearly illustrate the issue or learning concept?) The design was very neat and graphic. Everything is equally detailed and placed nicely.It does have something to do with the concept because its as if the girl knows alot about medical.
* Usability Analysis (Is it clear what you need to do as a player? Does it work well?)It is a litlle confusing on what to do but you catch on eventually.
* Suggestions for improvement. How would you change the gameplay to make the learning and play experience work together better?Explaining how to play it better would help out alot.

* List 2-3 things that you would like to learn how to do (in terms of functionality, design or content)I would like to learn how to create the caracters, how to make them move smoothly, and how to make things talk.

My topic

Hi, I'm Katelyne.
     My topic for my gaming is about svaing animals from being abused or killed. I choose this topic because i love animals and i dislike to see them hurt or killed. If my game can save animals it would be amazing. I think the links will help me out some what on the research for my game. Although the thing i will most likely use most is google, im sure the other wont hurt. Since i will be useing alot of research, ill need all the help i can get. This is why i like the links and will most likely use them alot. So thank you very much for the links, im sure they'll come in use.

Genre i am most interested in using for my game.

        Adventure genre is the most interesting to me. The way you have never know whats next is exciting. Having fast reflexes is a big thing in playing these types of games. For most people that don't have fast reflexes, it drives them crazy that they cant do it. Which will make most of them keep playing it until they get it down. Most of the time that is what makes a game popular.
       I am doing my game on animals. To make a awesome game that teaches whoever plays it not to hurt animals would be a great thing. If it saves at least one animal then the time spend on it will be worth it. Im not making the game to win. I am making it to teach people, in hope that they will stop hurting/killing animals. I must admite, it wouldnt hurt to win either though. :)

Reflecting on why you need to protect your privacy on the Internet.

You need to protect your privacy on the Internet because it could turn into a bad situation if things about your personal life get out. Like,  say a sexual preditor finds where you life off the internet,  then shows up at your house. He can now watch your every move or ever kidnap you. Is it really worth it? Putting person things on the internet can also end in imbarrassment of you or someone else. I could go on and on about why you shouldnt do it,  just look at what i said already and think about it. its simple,  just dont do it.

Globaloria

     In Globaloria i hope to learn alot more about computers and making games. I think knowing more about computers could help me in the future because alot of things are computerized. If there's something that is not computerized yet, im sure it will be soon. I want to be a doctor and knowing a how to work a computer better would for sure help me.
     For my game i am making a advernture game. My game will be based on animal crulity. I chose this topic because its one thing i would love to see stopped. It wont be easy to make but i hope whoever plays it will learn from it. If it only saves just one animal from getting hurt, it will be worth it.
     I am really excited to learn more about the computer. Doing the design will be so fun also. Im absolutly terrified to fail. I know its not a class i absolutly have to pass but it would be one thing i would be proud to pass and do right. Not being able to figure out how to do what i need to do to my game also scares me.
