Playing to Learn

       The game that taught me the most was Medical Mysteries. In this game, you are on a mission to discover the causes of many different diseases. As you follow the clues to solve the mystery, you are given the opportunity to explore many facets of the healthcare world such as chemistry, pharmacology, neuroscience, public policy, and history. The genre of Medical Mysteries is adventure. I think that this game works well because it runs smoothly, without any flaws. Also, I believe that the instructions were explained very theorly and clearly. I feel that this game is good because it has a balance of being educational, yet fun and enjoyable too.

Internet Safety

      Internet safety is important because it can save your identity and even your life. There are many ways to stay safe online. One way to stay safe is to never give out personal information such as your name, address, social security number, or your telephone number. Another way to be safe is to not communicate with strangers. The third way to stay safe online is to not download content without your parents permission. Another way to stay safe online is to not answer any emails or IMs from someone you don't personally know. A way to stay safe online is to not fill out questionnaires, even if they are from your friends. When you are online, you treat everyone with respect. Also, there is no such thing as "private" on the Internet.

My math concept and social issue.

The math concept I chose for my game is the order of operations. I chose this concept because I feel that it is a very important part of math. The order of operations is one of the basic foundations that you need in order to solve problems on a higher level. The social issue I chose for my game is energy waste. I am passionette about this because I feel that we waste a lot of energy every day of our lives. We need to start saving now. If we don't, we may run out which will cause a major problem. Our world today can't function without energy. The world needs to start using renewable and clean energy sources such as the sun and the wind. I think my math concept and my social issue will make a good game because it will teach you how to do the order of operations, and how to save energy to help our Earth at the same time. Together, we will make a difference.
