Choosing a Game

I have some ideas about my game, but I'm not completely sure. I know that my topic is going to be about greek mythology. It is  going to explain how the Greeks had an explanation for just about everything. They have eleven main gods: Zeus, Poseidon, Hates (those are the main three), Ares, Hermes, Aphrodite, Apollo, Artemis, Athena, Hephaustus, and Pan. But other than those gods, there are many others.

Game Idea

An idea for my game is for other people to learn about Greek mythology. I love Greek mythology and find it highly interesting. I learned much about Greek mythology while I read "The Percy Jackson" series. I have read all the books and I wouldn't stop reading them until I finished them. I have learned about many of the gods and it was easy to learn because they realted this to a mdern society, like everything was in the present. Everything you need to know about Greek mythology is explained in the book. So I think I have a head start with the information I have.

Internet Safety

  We have recently learned learned about Inetnet safety. Most people in the school know the basics of internet safety like not to talk to people you don't know, don't give away your location, those kind of things. We learned more information like about how you should change your password often because people will try to get onto one of your accounts. Following the guidlines we were given, we will be completely safe. You shouldn't just be careful only about the internet, but all technology you use to communicate with other people. Here is a link to a good video that teaches about technology safety including the internet:

Playing to Learn

I have played two games in playing to learn and I have finished this segment. The two games I have played include "3rd World Farmer" and "Nothing but Net". 3rd World Farmer is about farming. Anything can happen in this game. It shows the importance of farming. You have to check what will happen and calculate the amount of money you make. It shows how farming is important and how everybody depends on farms for food. It also shows how anything can happen relating to the weather and how it will affect your animals and your crops. The other game I played it titled "Nothing but Net". Nothing but Net has to do with physics. There is a power meter and you have to stop it when you want to see how far you would like to shoot the ball. I don't know if it has to do with math because I didn't understand how it has to do with math, but I liked the game because it had to do with basketball. Overall I really like both of the games.
