Playing To Learn Genre: Maze Games

I was playing some games that are like mazes they make u think a lot its very hard. I don't think i would lose but it takes a while to bet some of them. A long time ago i played a scary maze game and it made me look close to the screen because it had small spots i had to drag the ball through and i kept losing so I got mad. I got close to the screen and won but it scared me with a scary picture. Mazes are fun they are like brain teasers that's why i like them.

Playing To Learn Genre: Adventure

They adventure games were okay I played a couple games. Sally's energy ride was not really a lot of action just dragging and dropping things. The other game i played was Synchronized Saviors and it was fun it had a lot of flash movement and stuff like that. It had a loading page where it loaded up and it was cool he had a little box that moves. You pick up trash with the box and all that its cool it help me learn not to liter.

Playing To Learn Genre: Action

We played games off of playing to learn. I played the gravity game and I got far but it was hard at some points. I played a lot of games also survivor and that was hard but I beat I. I didn't know what the point of that game was but I played it.

9/11

How old were you on September 11, 2001?
When September 11, happened I was 2.                                        When did you first learn about the attacks and who explained the events to you?
I think I learned about it when I was in 4th grade.
What kind of impact did these attacks have on your life or your parents lives?
It impacted violence because what they did to all the innocent people that was wrong and when i think of them doing it to my family it makes me want to hurt them because i cant live with out my family.
What was the issue with this game?
There wasn't really a social issue it was people trying to make money for something terrible that happened.
How do you feel about it?
I think its not right that the people use this terrible thing into a game they don't know how it feels it wasn't in there country or it wasn't any of there families.                                                       What is the problem with portraying on such an awful violent event through a video game?
It is wrong because that was a bad moment and people son's, daughter's  mom's,and dad's died in that place then they make a game out of it, that hurts people.                                                       How can you make sure that your web games tell the whole story or teach a lesson in an honorable way?
I wouldn't make a game out of it I think that is wrong i would make a little movie clip and say good things about it not bad.
