Mission US game What did you think about the Mission: US game you played? Write your thoughts on using games like this in school. Did you enjoy learning this way? What did you learn? My thoughts about the game were very entertaining and fun to learn. I never used any games like this in school and I think it would be very educational if other schools did this kind of activity. Yes, I did enjoy learning this way. I learned that if you bother, people will have to defend themselves somehow. 5.2 THE GAME IS FINISHED! 5.3 At the end, I chose to go with Constance because I thought she deserved a friend with her to London. My results were good. What happened to me was that I got married to Constance. I think my outcome was pretty good because I escaped from all fighting with Constance. My reaction was that that was a good choice.
 * Which of the three final characters did you chose to go with: Royce, Constance, or Solomon? Why?
 * What were your results? Describe what happened to you and any other choices you may have been able to make with Royce, Constance or Solomon
 * Was your outcome good or bad? Explain. What was your reaction to the ending you picked?

Reflections:
 * Glogster: I liked the idea of Glogster simple because it’s a cheap poster board that is accessible from anywhere as long as you have internet access. I can definitely use this cause I can’t remember a class that I haven’t had to use a poster board for a project and Glogster is definitely an easier and again and cheaper way of doing this
 * Prezi: I liked Prezi because it’s a better power point it is something more exciting to play around with and use. I can use this, because presenting a power point will no longer be slides with description with one picture they will be more exciting to present to a class
 * Wordle: I really loved using Wordle because sometime reading could be a pain and you might not know what your reading about or miss things, with Wordle key words are pointed out to you so you can possible pick out or help you pick out a main idea you didn’t notice before using
 * Wikispaces: I loved wiki spaces. It took me away from constant writing and taking notes on paper which could be lost or destroyed. With Wikispaces that isn’t a problem at all considering the simple fact that it can be accessed anywhere. I would definitely use this again if teachers allowed and it in classes and I had a laptop
 * Slide Rocket: same as prezi

>
 * ___i learned of the online book s which was so much more easier than using the notebooks. I liked the fact that the class wasn’t slowed by making sure that everyone was up to date, the work was there just had to do it. And if you understand something then all you had to do was ask a question. And it wasn’t really questions about the work but more about how you want us to do it.
 * technologie in classes will help me to to be organized
 * I loved wiki spaces. It took me away from constant writing and taking notes on paper which could be lost.
 * i liked this so much better than just taking notes from a book and a textbook, this was so much more interesting. if school had been like this, i wouldn't be here in summer school right now!
 * I liked how everyone could work at their own pace, I wasn't held back by the slow kids
 * i liked how i could go my own pace, i didn't hold back the class
 * I like this class a lot better because I learned more about history through technology
 * i really like the opportunitie tha this class has offerd, you can start doing work in class if you not done you will have a chance to finish it at home
 * I think using technology is better than text books because it keeps kids attention more.
