Things I learn...

-Viruses are more often from email online messages.

-Viruses can delete information on your computer.

-Viruses can also come from a computer program.

-There are different types of viruses. Worm is one that can spread without people opening some kind of page and it works going from one computer to another taking out information.

-To prevent viruses you can have a virus scan, it would help you by scanning a file before you open it or download any work or program. 

Summary about topic...

Anyone can get a virus on their computer. It may damage your computer, take out a lot of information.  You always have to be careful with which files you open up on your email account or the things you may download from the internet. This relates to my life because you will always open up a email message or download whatever thing you need and  you will get a virus on your PC. I'm online everyday of my life. This affects me greatly because I don't know which sources are free from viruses and which one might contain some. You can't prevent it unless you have a type of virus scan or an anti-virus software that will prevent you of having to open up the file.

Questions I still have...

If you have a virus on your computer and you buy an anti-virus does your virus on your computer go away?

Can the virus re-appear if you already eliminated it?

To Do Day-5 Learn Phase

The kids completely liked the game, they enjoyed it and thought it was fun! They also thought it was very difficult. That was their only complain.
We did meet the goals of our game to be able to make it fun. We thought the colors and the difficulty would make a small kid get interested in our game, it totally worked!
Our biggest problem was how the game could support itself. How could it stay tight. Our solution was get more cardboard and put our architecture skills on it. (We made a triangle base). Our "AH HA" idea was when we decided to decorate our project to get the children's attention. We had everything very clear, what our game would be about, for who, and how. We all had great ideas each of our ideas and small details made a great result and impact in our game. My doubts were how can we make such a game with only cardboard? I didn't imagine we could do such game. I thought it was a little impossible, but when we started working on it, I opened my mind and put more effort into it. By putting more effort into it, I realized we could do it, we could create a game with scissors, cardboard and glue. I played the "devil's advocate". I asked everything I'm really perfectionist so I really need to understand and have ideas clear on the things I'm doing. That helped the process because it made us see things that were not good or things that were going bad and won't work. I learned new skills about myself. I learned that I'm a really good team worker. My creativity expanded more, it took me out of that bubble. It made me think more complex, to create something starting with nothing which is the most difficult thing to do.

1.It makes our game fun because it is original and really colorful, which makes a small girl really interested.
   - They do match our game because we created our game based on the school stuff we thought of.
2. We want to keep the colors, the overall price girls get by winning, and the balls needed to play the game.
3. Our game is pretty simple, there's nothing we can change to make it simpler. If it were for older girls the game would be more complicated.

Making a Build Plan...
1. We first start by designing the model on paper, to have an idea of what it will look like.
- We first start out with a cardboard to make the base. Apply the holes on the cardboard with scissors.
-Make a cardboard channel so the balls roll down.
-Put a bucket to collect the balls below the base.
-Attach the game to a wall with masking tape.

Supplies:
-crowns (Princess prices).
- Two wood bases.
We all buy this stuff together.

• Glitter
• Goals
• Prices
• Beauty/make up

RESEARCH PHASE:

In this video, the level was medium because it's a low probability the ball will enter the small whole with obstacles to get there. I think it should be more attractive and more fun/joyful. I thought it was pretty boring.

I think this game was really creative and fun. Small kids love getting tickets for their prices. It's an entertaining game. The way how the tickets are thrown should be improved.

This game is a pinball made with cardboard, I thought the idea was great, but I think it should work better, because the game ended really fast and not really enjoying it. If it's done more complex it could be more fun.
