Project 20 Week 5

Describe the topic of Interest  
The general idea of this project is basically to promote confidence in children so that they will perform and participate in their classroom.  These children will not be shy or scared to participate because they will have confidence in themselves to answer questions correctly or incorrectly.  Participating is a big issue in college because it counts as a percentage to your overall grade.

Describe what work has been done in the field
Some work has been done in this field but not quite as to my topic of interest.  The work that was studied previously was how can an introvert acquire some extroverted behavior and vice versa.  The introverted person that acquired the extroverted behavior actually did really well working with other people.  Their skills were phenomenal because they exerted their individual skills and learned to collaborate with other team members.  This was interesting because not everyone knows how to participate in a group but this person set each person with a unique job so that each job was done and all the work was compiled together for one fun project.

Describe what work needs to be done, or what gaps exist in our knowledge
My goal is to do a create a game that will attempt to promote confidence in children.  This will be performed on 100 children and occasionally checked upon to see their progression in their classes if they are participating.  This game will be designed to show how easy it is to be brave and participate when a teacher or professor asks the entire classroom a question.  A gain from this will be instilling extroverted behaviors into introverted children and introverted behaviors into extroverted children.  

Discuss how your study will fill those gaps
My study will fill those gaps because once an introverted child has acquired extroverted behaviors or vice versa, they will begin to understand that there are many people similar to them and they will not be shy or scared at all.  This will defeat their fear and the child will become more compatible to other peers.  It will form encouragement all around and confidence will be built for these children.

State your thesis as a prediciton
It is predicted that confidence will boost a child to perform the best to their ability and allow them to adopt either introverted qualities if they are an extrovert or extroverted behavior if they are an introvert.

Week 4 Project 20

The purpose of my objective is to boost confidence in Pre-K and Kindergarten students so that they can grow up becoming used to participating.  Even though maybe sometimes, their answers might not be fully correct, implementing some sort of reward system or commentary will be good for these students because they will feel as if they accomplish something big.  At this age rewards or reinforcements is necessary for a child’s growing process because they are always looking to do good deeds in which they will get some sort of compliment or reinforcement.  If a child participates in class, a reward or some type of reinforcement should be given so that the child will feel comfortable to participate more.
Understanding the children at a very early age will assist them in their growing process.  A child will learn that participating is a good thing and be more incline to do so than not to participate if no reinforcements is given because to a child they will start to think at an early age that participating is not a good move when you are wrong.  In college they teach that no answer is wrong and that all participation is acceptable. However, in college, this is too late for students because some may be shut down at an early age which causes shyness, and social awkwardness.  This can be detrimental for them because these type of students might not want to participate in any event.
Handling this issue at an early age can save students from this distraught.  Students that are reinforced for participating at an early age will more likely participate later on in life in college courses.  Enabling these students to participate is a big part of classroom learning because you get to look at different perspectives and  views from other students.  Promoting reinforcements at an early age will be beneficial for students later on in life because the reinforcements that they will receive later on is recognition from their professors for always participating and continuing a discussion.  College students that do participate may encourage other students around them are shy to participate and become more engage in discussions.

Week 3 Project 20

Name

the name of the game that I played is SPENT.

Objective 

Go through the game by making decisions based on money choices for you and for your family.

Participants

1 player game.

Errors

There are no errors within the game.

Problem solving

At times you are put into difficult situations where you have to make the best possible decision and at that time there might be two but only one you can choose.  This might have a positive but also a negative part to it.

Type of Game

This game is based on a series of questions and the answers depends on you and depending on this answer you can either increase or decrease your bank account. This game will have you on your feet because if you are put into a sticky situation you might have to start missing your child’s after school activities and make some extra cash on the side to support yourself and your family.

Project 20 Week 2

Playing Fenix Box was definitely a challenge expected because at first the levels are easy which draws you in then out of no where it starts to become difficult and strategic.  You start to anticipate it at first but then you need some time to fully see your method through by applying trial and error.  It may take some time but every thing takes time and you won’t regret it because passing a difficult level in this is accomplishing a mission impossible.  There are 90 levels of fun for this game.  The only advice you are given is to not hit any red box or else you start from the beginning at some levels it is inevitable to not hit any because there are so many and at some point you will hit at least one.  I believe the developers should make a sequel to this amazing game because it is very challenging cognitively and physiologically as well because you become anxious just to see what the next level has to ready for you.

Project 1 Week 1

Playing Remission 2 gives you an idea of what goes on in the body.  It gives you an idea however that is not exactly what takes place.  Our body has cells in which attacks the foreign invading cells because they do not belong in or around our body.  In this game Remission 2, you are controlling a character who is flying and moving about on the top of the screen whose objective is to defeat the invading enemies.  These enemies cannot reach the top of the screen where the flying character.  Basically you have 6 to 7 different weapons which allows you to defeat these enemies.  How you use utilize these weapons defines your character because there are different ways to approach this just like to skin a cat.  After the second or third level you should fully grasp this game and prepared to take on the next few hard levels with confidence.
