iCivics In this web site it teachs about civics. You can play games about your community and how you can change it or make it better. It also teaches us about how the goverment works and the way the system works when they do certain things and procedures. The thing I liked about the website are the games because each and every game teaches us something in our community and how it works and how we can change it.

The Nintendo 3DS has real 3D graphics when you take a picture, with no glasses needed. When you play a game, it also comes out 3D. On the Nintendo 3DS it has a 3D depth slider. The 3D depth slider is a switch to make the 3D pictures more powerful or to turn off the 3D images completely and play in 2D. The Nintendo also has a build in motion sensor and gyro sensor so the game system can react to the motion and tilt that the gamers have it moving in, so if the people playing with it are twisting the game system side to side or up and down, the motion sensor on the Nintendo 3DS responds instantly. This game system is in stores now, cost $249.99 and is avaible in colors aqua blue and cosmo black.

If I made a really awesome or cool game, I would try to sell it any possible way I could. If I had to choose a celebrity to the game I made, it would probably be Chris Brown, Taylor Lautner, and Kesha because I love their music and movies they have been in. To market my game I would probably want to be on a really popular talk show or a radio show.

In globaloria class today, we watched a video about the new PSP NPG hand held game system. It looks really cool, it is now a touch screen. Like most electronics, the touch screen is on the front screen. But now the game user can touch the back of the game system to play the game. That is so awesome. It also has 3G wifi and a GPS. I would so get this game system.

Mad Hot Ballroom


What does "teamwork" mean to you?
To me it means to work together and to not let nobody work by themselves.

• 1994 ballroom dancing was introduced to 5th graders in 2 new york schools



• today 6000 kids from over 60 schools are in Manhattan, Brooklyn and required a 10 week course
  


• here the students at one of the schools have more than one family living in one home
  

How do you see these students trying to work together? These students work together by dancing with each other and trying to make each other better then what they were before

• When people learn new things it opens new opportunities in the future
  
• All of the kids are nervous about the compotion

How important was teamwork for these students?
Teamwork is very important to these students because if they want to win the compotion, they are all going to have to work very hard at practice and work together.


What do you think is the main message that these students should take away from this experience?
To work together and work hard and as a team. It doesn't matter if you win or loose, you've gotten this far, and it shows you are good at soimething.


How will you work together with your teammates in this class?
If a classmate needs help, you help them out and that is working as a team.
