Cycle 2_Week 5 Post 2

Schools are using blogs for learning purposes. If a child didn't understand his/her school work that day they can go to the class' blog and read it over to try and understand the work. They are also using the blogs to post projects. I looked at the blog for Mrs.Stoddart and saw she posted up reminders for her class and also some different science topics. Some ideas I found for using blogger in class was to help us with science. We have different topics to write about ( related to science) and I've noticed it has helped our understanding of science. Some ideas I have for blogger in class is for those with questions to post those questions as blogs. Then people can look on them and leave their answers as comments. It's a way for communication, learning, and help at the same time.

Comments

Comment 1: Jhoel Lemus: I can relate to that actually. Nice job. You did great but with a spelling mistake though. You spelled influenced wrong.

Comment 2: Queen Divine:Hey Queen. I understand what you are saying. This paragraph would be excellent if not for spelling mistakes. Good job though.

The technology we use in school has influenced me to learn a little bit more on how to communicate with technology. During our technology session, we made emails to help understand our science assignments. Blogging has not improved my writing. Blogging is just another form of writing. It's not like an entire vocab improvement book. Blogging did help me on the NJ ASK because of the assignments we had to write on. We had to type on different science related subjects. It helped me to remember some science materials we studied but other than that nothing. The technology we used in class did connect me with me classmates and such. Ex. IGoogle, chat, blogs. These are my thoughts on our session in technology. My overall experience was fun.

I think the author most likely wrote the passage because she wanted to warn humans about the consequences when you eat sea turtles. I know this because through out the passage I read about the effects eating sea turtle meat can have on humans, and how eating sea turtle meat can decrease it's population in the ocean. In the passage it says,"Sea turtles absorb a lot of pollution from the ocean, including pesticides and heavy metals like mercury and cadmium. These toxins are health hazards for both turtles and humans and can cause permanent damage to their bodies." This tells me that eating sea turtle meat is very bad for humans because of the toxins the turtle absorbs. Also in the passage it says,"Sea turtles also carry the bacteria salmonella, which can cause severe diarrhea in people." This tells me eating sea turtle meat can be hurtful and painful. This reminds me of how monacrh butterflies are poisonous. They are pretty on the outside, hurtful when they're inside you. That's why animals rarely eat them.

Cycle 2_Week 2

If I were to create a game it would be called Survive The World. Before you play, you get to name and pick the gender of your character. Then you give them an outfit to wear before you start the first challenge. First, your character starts off in a place called Ice Landic Wonders. Ice Landic Wonders is a deserted ice land and your character has to survive and reach main land with only supplies from your old broken down pick up truck. Sadly, the supplies aren't packaged and manufactured. You only have the hub cab, wires, oil, old clothes and the insulation in the car's seats. Then you're off! You also have to out run (or slide) leopard seals. When you reach main land, you are then transported off to a tropical island. You think it's deserted but yet again you're in trouble. You need to learn how to avoid the killer natives poisonous animals and insects. Then you are transported to a desert, after which is an active volcano, then in the middle of an ocean. There are levels after levels and there will always be new challenges added. The things you could learn in Survive The World are how to survive in different areas of the world. Remember the seat's insulation? You could rip that out and wrap it around your feet to avoid frost bite. The message my game sends to the players is tho always be prepared in difficult situations and to make the best with what you have. You could overcome these challenges by looking through the supplies you are given through each level and working with them. What makes my games fun are that challenges and the actual facts you get from the game. Also the adrenaline rush. ( Like being chased by natives or an ice monster.) I'm sure they'd love my game! I know I would.

One game I usually play is Spider Solitaire and regular Solitaire on the computer. Sorry there is no website for it. It's just in the games section in the programs on the computer. The goal of these games is to try and get all the cards in order. It can be difficult but most times for me it's not. What I learn from playing the game is the be fast and to be quick with my brain. This game can be used educationally by memorizing numbers.


Next, there's Boggle. Once again there is no website. This game can be played on the DS or with the regular board game. The goal of this game is to be the person with the most words in the jumbled letters. That's only if you're playing with others. When you play with by yourself, you just try to get as many words as you can. What I can learn from this is many different words. This can be used educationally for you to expand your vocabulary.


Another game I play is called Cooking Mama. Once again there is no website.(That I know of.) The one I play is for the Nintendo DS. I play Cooking Mama 1 and 2. This games can be educational and occasionally frustrating. It's frustrating when I don't get it right. What this game can teach me is how to cook foreign dishes. It's pretty fun.

There are tons ore games but if I wrote them all I wouldn't have time to finish. So I hope you liked it. These games are just a few of the many games I play. Some of the games I play are educational. Others are just for fun. So this concludes my blog.
