The Game...the end of yet another era.

WE'VE FINALLY FINISHED OUR GAME!


If you don't believe me check it out here:

(Although there are still a few little kinks, it's come out exactly like we wanted it to. We tried adding sound but after almost a month of game making we gave up...pretty quickly.)

After finishing the game, I went on to try and write a draft of the August newsletter talking about all of the cool new stuff that happened in July. First and formost, I wrote about the topic most familiar to me--the games! I wrote about not only our intern game, but also about the Rethinkers' game and the students and educators from MySLife.org. I also wrote about Idit's, the organization founder, NECC presentation in Texas. She spoke about the vast changes happening between web 1.0 where content is king and eb 2.o where contact is king. She also spoke about Globloria, her latest invention in 1:1 computing. Finally, I wrote about the first West Virginia Educators Workshop. All of the participating educators across West Virginia to learn skills in Flash--skills they would be using during the school year while teaching with Globaloria. Toward the end of the workshop, the educators teamed up into four groups, brainstormed, and began to use Flash to make games!

Lastly, I just finished coding the American University wiki in Excel--a tedious job. There seemed to be a steady pattern there where the gamers were all quite active on the wiki. They all had game assets, most of them were commenting on fellow classmates' wikis, etc.

And Then There Was One

Leticia, the other remaining intern, finishes her internship here at Globaloria today. Tomorrow I will be the last remaining intern...
