Assignment One

Today we began by looking at the positives and negatives that video games have on society. we were divided into groups of three and we had to draw up either a list of positives or negatives depending on which one we were assigned. We then had to collaborate our list with other groups and come up with a final list. We then presented this list to the other group who came up with a list of positives and we eventually came up with a final list full of both positives and negatives. I felt this task was good because it was interesting to see other peoples ideas and experiences and be able to create a list that will be used for assignment one.

I then moved on to creating a PowerPoint about the negative and positive aspects of gaming on society. We have to explain things like the health issues gaming can lead to and the benefits like improving hand-eye coordination. I chose PowerPoint because I felt that the layout would be easier to create and it makes it look more organised. I hope to have the first task done on Thursday so I can get on with improving my game making skills.

I enjoyed the group task this morning because we don't get to work as a group very often and I enjoyed hearing about other peoples experiences about gaming. I did not enjoy working on the assignment because I just find assignments boring.

I feel I do not need any help with my assignment because I understand what I have to do and what must be done in order to meet the criteria when the deadline comes around.

Overall today was an average day because I enjoyed the teamwork aspect and I enjoyed the discussion but I did not enjoy working on the assignment. I found the football session to be dangerous because the football was pumped up to maximum air meaning it was harder and a lot more bouncier.
