My Favorite Game

My favorite game is Minecraft. The game far exceeded my expectations, due to the fact that I didn’t think that it would be very good. Nod, the person who made the game probably spent a lot of time programming it, but spends no time fixing the errors and running efficiency. There is no information on how long it took to design it. Pictured below is a structure I designed in the game.

Demo

Yes, I do think I've learned more about my game by posting our demo because I realized how much work we needed to do. I aquired this knowledge because I realized how much work we have to do before we are done. I don't suggest any changes to Wikipedia to make my learning experince better.

Using Civics Ideas in STEM

Some ideas for using Civics in STEM would be to combine them into one. You can easily combine Technology and civics because they go hand in hand really easily. People vote on machines which are indeed technology. Science would also be an easy thing because you could combine politics and the engineering of better and safer sources of energy. Math could be combined with economics and other things such as the Stock Market. Engineering could be combined by the technology that is discussed in politics, such as I mentioned before, safer energy sources.

Favorite Gaming Console

My favorite gaming console is the Xbox 360. I think it has the most games out of the other modern systems. I dont like it because of gmes like Call of Generic, but I do for games like Rock Band and Assassins Creed. I think it has the widest veriety of games out of the other consoles, and Xbox Live is pretty useful in terms of it being user-friendly. I spend much more time on my computer than I do on my Xbox, and I would have chosen that over the Xbox, but I dont think that actually counts as a system. I spend about 6 hours on my computer and on Xbox every day.

Favorite Experience

My favorite experince in this class so far has to be the playing to learn. I was able to finally play games in a computer class at my school. I thought this was actually a great for for students to get accostomed and to like the class. It seemed like everyone enjoyed playing the games and they got off to a good staert in the class. I think that playingto learn should be kept, even if it is just playing games. Usually in a classd if we do nothing fun or rules are really strict I dont do good in the class and actually hate the class with a passion. But in this class I was actually able to enjoy myself from the very beginning and still am.

Veterans Day

Soldiers, in the past and the present deserve our respect because they are the ones fighting to protect our freedom and our country. Whether it's a soldier who serve in the navy, air force, or army, they all deserve our respect. Whether they served in world war two, or in the iraq war they deserve our respect. I think that they all deserve to be honored no matter what. Whether they are veterans or whether they are currently serving doesnt matter, because they all fought for our country.

Sound

We plan to use sound in our game by adding a better feel to it, because silence alone doesn’t add any sort of feeling to it. It will make the game more enjoyable to play and it will make the player want to continue on without quitting, thus making him learn more.
