Internet Security

Internet Security

Internet Security is a paramount concern of educators and the Globaloria staff.  To assure that students understand why Internet Security is so important you will need to answer the questions below:
  • Should you respond or talk to people you do not know, on line, outside the Globaloria Community? No you shouldn't.
  • Can you be sure the person you are talking to has actually represented themselves accurately? No because you have no real proof of what the person is saying about themselves.
  • Why do we ask you to hide  your personal information? So that no one can get access to such information in order to harm you.
    • Why must you never give your Social Security Number or bank account number to anyone online? Because their is a great chance they will use your information to steal your money or commit a crime under your identity.

Weekly Blog Post

  1. Copy these questions and answer ALL of these questions about your Game Idea, that you discussed in the Imagining Your Game section, in a blog post, on your blog in complete sentences:

  •  WHO are you designing your game for? (Include the player's age, abilities, and prior knowledge of your topic.) This is a game suitable for all ages. Our prior knowledge is knowing the differences of technology today and later as opposed to technology in the past.
  • WHAT will your game teach the player about your topic? (Be specific!) It will teach the player the benefits of technology today and in the future.
  • WHERE does your game happen? In a computer or room with different types of technology.
  • Describe the world you will design for your game. It will consist of mostly computer related elements.
  • How will this setting add to the learning experience? It won't add more of a learning experience but rather an enviornment closely related to the main experience itself.
  • HOW does your game world teach the player about your topic? It doesn't teach much of anything.
  • What happens in the world that helps the player learn? They (as a virus) breakdown firewalls and learn about technology.
  • How does the player use what they learned to make something happen in the game?
  • WHY is a game a better way of understanding your topic than a quiz? You are inside the experience and can understand more.
2.  Post a picture of your team and complete the following tasks
  • Name the team roles. Brent Anderson - Game Ideas, Roger Wright. - Graphic Illustrator, Jacob Fincham - Mosty Animation such as movement and live events.
  • What is your role in the team? I will mostly draw out most of the graphics shown in the game.
  • Why are you good at this job? I love to draw and create graphics in free time as well as create other types of multimedia files.
  • What is the hardest part about working in teams? Sometimes you can't get along with other team mates. And in my case, it is ALWAYS true.
