About My Topic

My topic is about air pollution and how it effects our world this topic interests me because this is a big issue when every time we pollute we make our atmosphere smaller and without our atmosphere we will die.I want to inform people how important this issue is to us and how we cause this to happen also I want to help stop air pollution or at least some of it and I want to help people understand how it can effect our lives.This issue needs to be addressed because we can destroy our planet if we pollute to much and there will never have a planet again.

my game

My game is like so cool to me at least and I am very happy with it and also I am going tonasa because I got nominated and I am like soo exited I can't wait to go but I whent last year but still exited to go.When I told my mom the good news she was so happy and impressed because I really did not know alot about computers and she said I have learned alot.I am so happy right now so happy I can scream my head off but I am kind of sad because I have not been spending much time with my grandma and she has no one to talk to at her house ecsept for me.I AM SO HAPPY.

what I have learned this year

 This year I have learned allot one of the big things I have learned was how to make a game and I got nominated for one of the good games and I am SO exited and I will be going to NASA even know I went last year I can't wait to go this year I love my school SO much another thing I have learned was how to copy and paste,open a new tab,work in flash,make a password,make drag and drop,and last but not least is MAKE A GAME yea and an awesome game that got nominated and I know my mom will be inpressed and very happy because I never new allot about computers and I have improved allot.I know that when I am older I will be good at working on computers because I did not know how to type at a good pas and now I can type really good and I know where each letter is I really like computers.The most thing I have in proved on is copy and pasting also  being able to make my game better and some other stuff.I really came to like computers allot and I love them so much I have learned allot and I would like to learn more.

Dogs

I am going to blog about dogs do you know why? OK because well my dog ran away 5 weeks ago and I know one fact that she's not coming back and I miss her because she would always protect me from strangers.I only have 3 now dogs Emma,chopo,and coco also 6 chickens but I am thankful to even have animals.Animals are SO cute and they are important to my life because you can count on them to love you and to be your best friend forever.I love dogs because they are really cute,playful,fun,nice,trustworthy,and you can count on them any time.

stand and deliver

This movie Stand and deliver is a movie about a teacher Edward James who his kids were accused

ipads for kids

Well what I think about this article of 2nd and 3rd graders using pads is yeah they might think it is cool to have pads and that it is really fun buy what I am thinking is that they should not work on that to much because kids need to write the most and when they are on the pads they draw and write with there finger tips and they need to write with there pencils.But although I think it is also a good idea because when you grow up you are also going to have to know how to use the computer and how to look up stuff you don't know this idea is  also good because kids should know allot about computers because well I burly started on computers in 6th grade and I new nothing about them until now and I am not saying it is bad but I know only a little bit of computers.I really like this idea because they need to know how to use computer pods but at the same time I think it is a bad idea because I think if they spend too much time on them than they might forget how to use a pencil.

thoughts!!!!!!

Making a paper prototype helps me with making my game because it puts an idea in my head and when I put the idea in my head I won't forget it and I cann look back on it and see if I forgot to add something and that also helps me by making it the way I wanted it when it was in my mind.These are my thoughts on making a  paper prototype before making my final game I really like the idea on doing that so I won't forget what was in my mind before.Making a paper prototype is very smart to do and I like doing it before something big also it refreshes your mind.I*!ove*paper*prototype*$*$*$*$

thoughts on globaloria

My thoughts on globaloria are that ever since I have entered in globaloria I have improved on what I know about computers even my mom is surprised because I know so much.When I first stepped foot in the class room I had know clue on how to use a computer and what to do on it.I really started to like this class even though I thought I was going to do bad and fail but i'm doing preety good in this class and this has turned out to be the best class I have ever had in my whole life.I LOVE GLOBALORIA!!!!!!!

1. One thing I have learned in Globaloria is…    is how to work in flash.
2. My favorite thing about my Globaloria class is…    is you get to work on computers. 

3. I think being in Globaloria now will help me in the future because… I will know things that I learned in 6th grade already.

drag and drop

My drag and drop game is going to be a line parted between the screen and on one side there is going to be bones with numbers on them and my number you have to get factors to is 16 and on the other side there is going to be a bowl and a dog.If you give the dog the wrong factor than he will spit it out and you have to try agin to give him the the right factor to make him have a good meal and to be happy and to like you so please give him the right bone!!! I really like my factor game because I like my picture and it makes since to me and I don't think it is boring to me I hope other people like my game as much as I do because it is has dogs in it and everyone has to love dogs also because the number 16 is an easy number to get factors to. thats all folks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mad hot ballroom dancing

The main message of the movie is that kids danced and they had fun and they won the first trophy and they were really happy.The movie was about kids who enter ballroom dancing and they have a good time dancing and all the kids who are in it they canged thair lifes by being good or getting better grades because they really want to be in ballroom dancing so they do what they have to do like get better grades.At the finals they try thair best to win and get the trophy and they ended up getting the first medal and they were very happy and they also beated the other team who won last year but for my opinion I tought they were not very good at dancing and the team that won deserved to win because they were really good at every dance that they did I was happy for them.I liked this movie because they danced really good

MOVIE

This movie that I saw in class was about people's life in new jersey.There were three teenagers who became doctors one of them talks to other teenagers telling them if you become a doctor than what do you expect from it and how do work.The other doctor works at the hospital and all of the pasheants love the way he works and everyone thinks he is nice.There is also a lady who has 2 kids and she has one child who has a desese and she has to give extra atention to her.I have no same things like the same as the movie.
