January...Daggone! Where has the time gone?

I just finished reading Mr. Dorsey's "New Year's Resolutions for 2010". Although, I typically am not a "frequent" blogger, I will comply with Mr. Dorsey's request and comment on Globaloria's effect on me now and what I see coming up at GWHS ...

(...what to write...what to write...) 2010, thus far, has brought snow, cold, and snow days at GWHS. Our school is currently looking at bypassing semester examinations in order to keep the flow of education going. Of course for me, the snow days allowed me to get caught up on grading and (believe it or not) time to work in FLASH (my nemesis!). My educator teammates (Larry and Natascha of "The Guy and the Dolls") and I have really worked well together trying to put together our "game" for Globaloria. Of course, we know we will not be signing contracts with any of the big gaming empires. Yet, we will stand proud of our efforts none the less!

When considering where Globaloria will go this year at GWHS, I can only guess at this point. Vicky did a great job with the students last year and I am still impressed with the game presentations of last year's students. With this in mind, I know in the "Grand Scheme of Things", that the students at West (this year) will achieve success on multiple levels. Not only will they gain Flash programming skills, they will gain verbal, writing, and interpersonal skills, and the abilities to work well independently and as members of any productive team.
Finally, to "pay it forward" for Mr. Dorsey, I ask that students at GWHS post to their blogs as I have done here. Tell us what you think of Globaloria so far, how it has affected you, and where you see yourself in the "Globaloria Scheme of Things" at the end of this school year.
