Cyber Safety.

Today, our class watched a presentation on Internet safety. We learned different things about sending threatening messages, posting personal information, and ways people could be punished for such. If you post a threatening message online, people could find the exact computer that did it through tracking the I.P. address. People trying to find you could look for clues such as if you're wearing a shirt with a school name on it or landmarks. Detectives and law enforcers use the Internet to find predators and arrest them to prevent them from attaining anymore innocent victims.

Music Education

I found three blogs about music and music education. I think they'd help me because two of them are done by music teachers/educators and have interesting facts about musical people throughout history. Every post has a "This Day In History" segment along with the year the moment occured. This could help with making a quiz game or something of that nature.

Hmm.. I think that's all for now. : )

The Two Games.

The two games I chose to play and write about were:

Pick Twelve: http://www.texaslre.org/jurygame_intro.html

And Learn the Bones: http://www.myglife.org/usa/wv/resources/en/play/Educational/learnthebones


Both games were interesting, I liked Learn the Bones the most because it was informing and entertaining. The art was interesting and it was just fun to play. One thing I didnt like about it though was that they didnt click into place, leaving a crammed space where you cant see exactly where they go. It would be easier if they snapped into place, leaving a clear spot for the next one to be placed.

Pick Twelve was an interesting game because some of the people's details were entertaining and somewhat weird. One thing I didnt like about it was that the art wasnt that great, and I found a glitch. Overall, the game was fun but I wouldnt play it when I got bored.

I did like both of these games very well, but if I had to choose one to play in my spare time, it would deffinitely be Learn the Bones.
