Learning Games!

Learning Games! 

 Yes I know, whenever you hear the word learning, you know it's going to be boring. But this is defiantly an exception!

I played a game called 3rd World Farmers which you can check out here

It's a game where you are a farmer in the 3rd world and you had to plan what crops to plant and animals to raise in order to make a profit. 

This game was very addicting and at the same time I'm learning! I learned how hard it is for people in 3rd world countries to earn money. I also learned that a lot of crimes, fires, and diseases happen all the time in 3rd world countries. I also learned how to handle money. You can't just spend it all at once, you have to save.

This game did an excellent job at teaching the ones playing how to handle money and teaches them about 3rd world countries.

Public Information Online

My teacher, (I call him Mr. Cat) showed us this website called zillow.com. You can search for homes all over the world that are for sale. They take public information and just make it easier to access.

So that's when my teacher was all like

"Is there anything wrong with taking publicly available information and making it easy to access?" 

Well, I don't think there is anything wrong with taking publicly available information and making it easy to access. The information was already online, so whoever put it online knew it wasn't going to be private and ANYONE can see it. So  Just making it easier to access is just fine and I see nothing wrong with it!
