Globaloria Presentations

Mrs. Forinash and myself got a good taste of being the students this past weekend when we attending the Globaloria workshop in Charleston. Being new to the program, we both had to work really hard to complete our assignments. It was stressful and exciting at the same time. Learning new things can be so exciting, but it can also be stressful until that lightbulb goes off and things become more clear.
We were put on a team with another middle school teacher. Our team name was G-Tech Middlers. We were lucky that our team mate had been in the Globaloria program for a semester already, so she was able to help us alot with the flash programming. Our game is called "Homeless Solutions" and deals with math concepts and the social issue of homelessness. I hope that our students will have an opportunity to play to this game and even help us to make improvements.
