Week 8 Comments and Feedback

Overall, the quality of comments and feedback I received from other students has been positive. All of the comments left on my blog were really friendly and useful. I found the comments on my game blogs the most useful. It allows me to find out what other people think of my game. I like reading other peoples comments because they leave suggestions on how my game could be improved. I also like reading through other peoples comments because it gives me a chance to reflect on my work.

In my opinion, I have left good quality comments and feedback on other students blogs. I try putting thought into each of my comments because I know how useful it can be. The WOW and TAG feedback strategies have been very helpful to me. I use these strategies to help structure my comments, especially the longer 150-word comments. I'd recommend these feedback strategies to people who are struggling with writing longer, detailed comments because they can almost be used as a guide.
Analyzing other students writing has given me a few ideas for my own writing. I get a better idea of how other peoples blogs look compared to my own. I also get to see different types of writing styles from my own.

Reading other students blogs has definitely helped with getting to know them better. I found introduction posts the best way to learn more about them. The introduction blogs also helped me to learn more about students I talk to on a daily basis. I'm happy with my introduction post because it was a nice way to start my blog. I'm also happy with my introduction blog because it's my most commented on one. It provides a nice way for people to get to know me and for me to know them. It's cool when I get comments from people with similar interests to me because I feel like I can relate to them.

Looking forward, I would like to comment more on peoples blogs who have similar interests to my own. I think this would be useful for me and for other students because you can relate more to them. In my opinion, you're more likely to talk with students from the blog in real life who have similar interests to your own.

Overall, writing comments has helped me learn about other students in the course. It has also helped me to find out what other people think of my work. I'm happy with the blog posts and with how my blog looks. If I was to make any changes, it would be to include more blog posts about ourselves, similar to the introduction blog.

Game Brainstorm

Game Brainstorm I got my first game idea after looking at endless runner games such as "Temple Run", "Subway Surfers", "Sonic Dash" and "Super Mario Run". I noticed a lot of these games in this genre are on Android and iOS devices. This got me thinking about creating a similar game for PC. The first of these games to become popular was "Temple Run" back in 2011. This game made the genre popular on mobile devices which later inspired the other endless runner games I mentioned. Endless running games have very simple controls, such as jumping over and dodging oncoming obstacles. A player's score is generally determined by how far they travel without hitting any obstacles. The games have simplistic controls but are difficult because you cannot stop the forward momentum of your character. Although these games have different art styles the gameplay is the same. I think this would be a good type of game to make because the gameplay ...

Feedback Strategies

The first article I read "Five Reasons to Stop Saying "Good Job!" by Alfie Kohn. The author explains different reasons why he thinks loving and making your child feel good is very different from praise. Praise will work in the short run because children just want approval from their parents when they are young. Overexploiting this idea will eventually make kids feel manipulated. Kids will start relying on their parent's evaluations too much if they are praised for every little thing. It's damaging for a child in the long run because when they grow up, they will still feel the need to hear whether what they did was ok from others. Overpraise will make affect how a child feels when they actually achieve something for themselves. They will not appreciate actual achievements if they are constantly getting praise for anything they do. Children will lose interest in whatever they have to do because they know they'll get praise or rewarded for whateve...

Feedback Thoughts

Feedback Thoughts The first blog I read by was about how too much praise can force a person to develop a fixed mindset. The article pushes the idea that people who are praised too much don't bother to develop new skills or better themselves because they are already "brilliant". This blog also focuses on how a fixed mindset can hold a person back in their workplace. Technological developments are constantly changing the workplace, which forces people to adapt and learn new skills. In the second article, I read the author gives us advice on how to crush self-doubt based on his own experiences as a teacher. He talks about seven different ways and goes into detail about each. I liked this article because the author talks about what he did to crush is own self-doubt. I thought both articles were useful in their own way. I found the first one focused more on the benefits of a growth mindset whereas the second focused on how to achieve a growth mindset. I thought the seven...
