Reflection

I would like to start of by thinking memebers of my blog group for all the insight and feeback through out this semseter on my topics of online gaming. i must say i have learned alot from you guys/ girls. As i traveled through my first online class ever IDE 611 i would like to take a minute to reflect on my experince. I started off not knowing what to think. Never have i ever had to create a Blog page. At first i looked for help from others in our class to help me. After looking at several classmates i was able to find my groove in bloging. my toic was online Gaming. i took lots of roads on trying to educate you guys on ONline Gaming. this topic has become a real heater within society today. the use of the internet was made online addictive and fun. More and more kids are spending time playing online game via interner or video games such as Xbox360 and PS3. communications also has risen from Online gaming.
What are you guess thoughts and feelings about Online gaming from my blog page?

FunBrain.com

i what to spark discussion this week based on this website.

http://www.funbrain.com/

what are some of opinions about this website?
what are some positives and negatives to online gaming such as these?

i know for me i dont think that these games would be educational for toddlers because they arent into learnering. i think the play online gaming because of pure entertainment.
i think advatanges are for more of kids that are possible in pre-k and up. that is the age for young kids to start exploring with online eucational games. i think games that have characters such as Dora are great. because she is something that young kids pay attention to.
