Day One Morning Questions:

What are you feelings about video games in general? Video games for me is a way for kids to spend time, I do not have experience playing videogames at all and my opinion of video games is that they are very addictive to kids or adults.I have comments from my students which scare me!! that they spend hours and hours playing video games at home instead finishing homework or studying for a test.

What are you feeling about video games as learning tools? I think there may be a good way to use the addiction or interest of students for videogames. If we design a videogame that will allow students to put in practice the skills that they learn in class. that will be awesome! Kids love challenge and video games may be a way to deliver that challenge.

Midday Questions:

What brings you here/ Why are you here? The reason why I am here today is to learn a different way for delivering instruction, that will help my students to practice math skills in a fun and interactive way!

What are you excited about? It is exciting to work with innovating and fresh ideas that can help me to find a different way to help my students.

What are you concern about? I want to do a good job in this workshop, I have a little experience with computers and not a good experience with videogames so I am a little bit nervous about it.

Shutdown/power off: At the end of the day was very frustrating because I could not finish downloading the software to start exploring the videogame site. I do have an Idea of what my game will be It is very exciting because all ideas are comming now.

Morning: How do you see this game as a tool for connecting with your students? I've been working in this workshop for four days and I can tell how fun and challenge it is, I can imagine my students working in this project and I know that will be fun!! I see this game as a very good opportunity to challenge students and promote the participation, independent learning, cooperative group and assesstments in class.

Afternoon: Who supports and who benefits from your participation in this project? I am sure that I will be support from the instructors, the technology department at my school, the school principal, the school system and my family for the time I need to invest in this project. I think everybody will be benefit from this workshop but specially the students; this is a very good opportunity for them.

What other technology do you wish you could use or have support for? Any type of technology that I can use in the classroom or as a teaching tool will be good, can be more computers, special learning software. I think that the school system and school principal will be very supportive with it.
