peer review video games

Carolina made a game about matching objects it was visually pleasing. i would have to say that the target audience is children. the instructions are kind of obvious but not clear. there was a clear start but no end. I wouldn't play this again because you actually cant really play it, it doesn't work. i would not play this again because you cant actually play. the things i would do to improve this is make it able to be clicked and for there to be a way to win because there isn't one.

Mohammed made a game about clicking to find boxes and then when you find it he sings but the boxes camouflage with the background. The game is visually pleasing and its target audience is children. the instructions are clear and there is a clear start and finish. i would play his game again. things he should improve is his singing but no seriously haha he just needs to make more levels.

Kassandra made a video game about falling star you cant the stars that are falling and have to touch the space ship the game is visually pleasing and its target audience is children. the instructions aren't written or clear but they are obvious there is a clear start and end i would play this again. i wouldn't improve anything just add more levels.

Final goal for the school year

                 I would say that my grade is kinda  inline with my OLD goal, I mean its okay I could do better but its not a bad grade. I can reach my full potential by not slacking and taking all the time Mrs. Ramirez gives us. My new goal is 100 and I can do it if I give it my 110%! :). I will try really really hard and make this last marking period count! :) I have like a 90 all I need is ten more points which I can do if I do better on my labs and keep up everything else.

Reflection Journal QCC Trip

On March 20th 2013 I went on a trip with my class to Queens Borough Community College
(QCC). Once we got to QCC we met up with some professors who showed us around the campus showing us multiple classrooms and what they teach at QCC that will be related the different classes we are taking in ITHS. We saw classrooms that taught architecture, classes that taught robotics, classes that showed programing, and classes that taught making and designing tools by using a computer.

In QCC we met professors and even some students, we got a first hand look at the way classes are taught, the classroom sizes, the way the teachers act and teach. Now looking at it I think it was important to visit the campus because it has a big effect on the way I will look at this college. I learned the basics of robotics, I learned that theres a machine that can make tools, I learned multiple classes that are available at QCC.

Before this class trip I hadn't visited any colleges I guess I didn't really think it would make much of a difference, that I didn't really need it, now after visiting QCC I think I will now visit multiple colleges before my senior year. I realized its important to look at colleges and to really get a feel for the school you will be staying at for the next four or two years depending on where you go.

Honestly I didn't really now what I was going to take from this trip I just knew that there was a trip and I had to go  to it. Honestly I didn't really get anything from the classes because I don't want any of those things as a major or minor, but I did get a feel at what college is about and it did make me open up my eyes and notice that its a must to look at the colleges before you decide which one you want to go to. The trip was pretty boring, don't get me wrong they did tell us stuff that interested us but there was no attention grabber, there was nothing that kept me awake the whole time, even my mom was falling asleep. Something that would make it better is if they wouldn't just babble about the same thing for a long time, people get bored like that. Next college trip I would like to see more campus, not take so long in one class and more energetic, attention grabbing attitude from the people showing us around.

Why is it important to have a CTE expo?

                I think it was showing off our work in the CTE expo. It was fun telling and talking to them about the ideas behind it and all the work put into it. It was fun being a teacher and not a student for once. People actually enjoyed it and had fun seeing all the things we have created and they asked a lot of questions, I think they were amazed about how we could actually do something like a working website. I would say that it met my expectations because it was fun and we got good reactions out of it. Teachers actually came up to me and told me that they were surprised about how good it went and how amazing it turned out.

               Something I would do differently.... I actually don't think anything turned out necessarily bad, i mean theres always room for improvement but I think it came out pretty swell. If anything maybe talking more, but I honestly think I do enough of that already. What i might like to see happen in a CTE expo is for more people to come and just for everyone to enjoy themselves. I think that if we would have had snacks out that then it would truly be perfect. I wish I had a CTE expo my freshmen year. I think that the CTE expo will have a large effect on which academies the freshmen this year choose.
