Art Institute(:

     When we had a guest speaker at our school about the Art Institute, I learned various things!  For example, I learned that there are several choices of courses.  She helped all of us understand that if we liked drawing there is more than one class that obtains to that.
This is the actual Institute of Pittsburgh....

     .Although the field of video and graphic designs sound extremely interesting, I think I want to become a forensic scientist.  Since I was a little child this has been my dream!  I have always loved solving mysteries and would very much enjoy the process of helping others. 
    
      Although I do not want to pursue this job choice, you may find that you do!  Go check it out at this link to The Art Institute of Pittsburgh.

Thinking about game design and creation!

     I play many video games in my spare time.  Video games interest me a lot; however, until now, I have not put any thought into how much work goes into the construction of a game.  Being in Globaloria has provided me some information that extremely change my perception on games.
  
      For example, I play a game called Hot BBQ Party online.  I play this everyday in my extra time because it interests me and keeps me busy.  This is one of my favorite online games because it calls for skill and competition, and I am very competative.  Here is a link to the game Hot BBQ Party.

     My perception on "Mini Game Project" has changed extremely.  Once I did some things on my mini game, I learned that much thought and time is put into making a hit game.  Making games is not just easy and fast, you have to do a lot of coding and it takes a lot of time.  My new perception on "Mini Game Project" is I do not play without appreciating the person who created such a masterpiece!

Animal Testing!

     The past week I have researched the topic I plan on doing my game on, Animal Testing.  This is a very interesting topic, for most people do not know the extend of this horrible act.  In my opinion, this should be against the law. 

     Animal testing has a big harm on animals.  Some of these animals are not normal house pets; however, they are still animals and deserve the right to live.  For example, most of the animals are rats.  Here is a crucial picture of testing being done on this helpless animal.

     How sad is that?
     Although this is just a rat, they also test on fish, frogs, and birds.  One of the biggest animal testing procedures is Enos the space chimp who was launched into space.  After going into space, this poor monkey died about a year afterwards from dysentery, which was resistant to antibiotics of the time.

Here is Enos being prepared to go into space.):

     After testing, almost every animal is euthanized, or killed! )':

Our Team(:

     Kerri and I are introducing our team to Glogaloria.  We have decided to name our team Cool Cat Cobras.  We are thinking about doing it on Animal Cruelty and Animal Hoarding.  We haven't fully came up with all the details yet, but we are trying our best! 

     Our game is based on something that we feel very strong about! We both feel that animal cruelty is very disgraceful, and animal hoarding is very dangerous because you might not be able to take care of all of them!  Here is a link if you want to go check out the Cool Cat Cobras(:



A Game I Played :D

     Today I play the game Drift Runners that is in the genre of Racing Games.  Drift Runners was a very exciting and well constructed game.  When I played this game, I was enteractive the whole time.  There was many things such as color and sounds that stood out very well.

Here is a picture of the cars in motion on the game:

     Also, I loved the cool cars and graphics that are in this came.  The sound effects seemed really real, and it felt as if I was actually in the game.  This is some of the things I would like to learn how to do while in the process of making my games.

    

      Although the game was very well constucted and exciting, in my opinion, the game was not very educating.  I like the game, don't get me wrong, but I didn't extract any helpful knowledge from Drift Runners. 

     This was a very good game, yet I do not want my game like this.  I am going to focus on a learning topic better!

     If you want to test this game out and form your own opinion about it, here is the link to DRIFT RUNNERS!



Why I need to protect my privacy on the Internet(:

      Why do you need to protect your privacy on the Internet?  In today's technological world there are millions of privacy threats.  Protecting my privacy on the Internet is something that I need to keep control of.  Protection of my personal information is a key step in keeping me safe.

     There are many ways to keep my Internet highlights private.  You need to keep track of all your passwords, yet keep them somewhere that only you know about.  If somebody retrieves one of you passwords or some of you personal information, they can hack into your accounts or even come and kidnap you.  In my opinion, people should keep all their personal information and passwords to themselves; therefore, nobody can take advantage of their personal Internet accounts! Also, most important, always sign out of your accounts!

My First Blog Entry(:

     Hello Globaloria users, I am writing my first blog, so bare with me.  In Globaloria, I have managed to learn so many new and exciting things.  When I made my Wiki Page, it seemed a lot like Myspace and Facebook; therefore, it came naturally easy to me.  Everything on here excites and amazes me; therefore, it keeps me very enjoyed.

     I had a little bit of trouble putting my picture on my Avatar, for it was too big.  I went to Wiki Tips, and learned how to resize it.  It was very easy afterwards, and then I added pictures rapidly with ease.  My favorite picture I added is this one of my family, .......

     The next step I accomplished was putting text and colors to my page.  Color and text made my page more fulfilling to others who read my page!  For example, you can check out the changes I've made by going to My Page.  In.my opinion guys, many people would really enjoy Globaloria, but most students are unaware of the many things they can accomplish.

     Finally, I made My Blog, which was very simple to make and maneuver on.  Blogging, in my opinion, is very fun and a great way to communicate.  If you enjoy the things I have posted, there will be many more to come!  I plan on making many more changes to my page, so keep in tuned!
