Hi Sarah. I'm David - I'm the state director for the Globaloria program that Mr. Garvin and Ms. Tate are teaching. It's great to see that you're starting to add things to your wiki and to your blog pages. I enjoyed reading your blog about judges who sentence young teens to life in prison. There's a US Senator from Virginia (Senator Jim Webb) who is leading an effort in Congress to review our criminal justice system because he agrees with you that far too many young people are incarcerated and not being given second chances and opportunities to get help and/or become productive. Here's a link to an article about that: http://webb.senate.gov/email/criminaljusticereform.html
Are you enjoying the class so far? Keeping a stock portfolio and blogging about it sounds like fun. But I would really love to see you and your classmates blog about what you're learning regarding game design, Flash coding, and what research you are doing for your game topics.
There are lots of cool blogs that students from other schools have been writing. Have you gotten a chance to cruise the Globaloria wiki and review other students' work? Go to www.globaloria.org/wv and click on other schools, go to their user galleries, and check out students' blogs to see what your peers at other schools are doing/writing about.
Are you planning on creating a video game? I hope you are. What would you like your game to be about? It will need to be about some educational or social issue topic. There's a lot of cool topics that you could choose to create your game about (civics, health issues, the environment, etc...). Maybe you could even do a game about the jail/teens topic that you blogged about before...
I look forward to seeing your progress. Keep up the good work.
Very nice work, your BLOG is easy to read which I appreciate when the font is not so light that it blends into the background.
Have you thought about your topic? What class are you in in social studies, 20 to 21st? It will be very interesting to see the work you do and I am looking forward to following it. :)
