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.

online game used for learning with toddlers

parents are starting to use online gaming to play and help there children learn from online activities while spending qauility time with them. this is effective because you can help them learn at their own pace and as a parent you can still encourage them and help them along. Fisher-Price is one of many companies trying to help explore onling gaming for parents and there children..

Avatars

with Xbox 360 you are allowed to create avatars that best represent you. I believe most people creat ethese avatars in a cartoon image of themselves. i think these avatars are a great way people can share their personality thur online gaming. does anyone have any experience with online Avatars?

WEB 2.0

technologhy runs the world today. Even the use of online gaming needs to web. Just like in our 611 course web 2.0 allows people to connect and interact with one another. it allows people around the world to meet other gamers. Games like NBA 2k11 is the hot buzz in the world of gaming. Online gaming is most popular among teens.

online gaming of the week!

i played the online version of games where u have to use certain keys on the key board. i think these games are very hard compared to the ones like internet spades where you can use the mouse. has anyone planed online games using the computer? what has been others experiences?

online gamin

here a question for everyone..

what is your first experience with online gaming?

mine was internet spades. people are able to play with people around the world. even the use of instant message was there and we catted and got to know each other.

this week experience with online gaming

recently i was playin call of duty and it was a large open conference chat and the team we face had some people that were on line making racist remarks about ethnic people. i think this is a big concern because open conferencing like this can become very dangerous. in past years we've heard about rapiest and killers meeting people through open conference such as facebook, myspace, and phone chat lines. i feel there should be something about people that get on this chats!

voice and videoconferencing

when looking at online gaming most people are able to use voice and videoconferencing to talk and communicate with someone else given of the ablitiy to use some of there 5 sense that is needed to be able to get a feel for their environment around them. for example one of the worlds most popular game is Call of Duty. lots of kids spend hours screaming and talking with online voice conferencing what does everyone else feel about voice and video conferencing?

football season

with this time of year football season is the hottest buzz. what does people think about fantasy football and online Madden 2011? if you know anyone with kids and have access to the internet. do you think this is a big problem special since its the beging of the school season?

communication through online Video games

online games have made it easier to communicate with friends.  the only thing you need to do is be able to have access to the internet. now people these days do not need to meet in person in order to have a fun time competing against one another. now people have the luxury of being in there own home and still have the enjoyment of playing video games. some system like the PS3 you only need a bluetooth headset.  Xbox360 they supply you with a headset if you purchase the system that you attented on using the internet. the good thing about this online communication is you arent wasting minutes on a phone and you are able to talk junk to a friend ALL for FUN!!!!
