'''GAME REVIEW #1: MOST EFFECTIVE Learning Game'''                           
* Name of the game that taught you the MOST about its learning topic: wv animal squad resue
* What social issue or educational topic does the game explore? It is a game about stray animals and what you should do to help them.
* What can you learn from this game? How to take care of animals and what you should do If they are hurt
* What game genre is it? Do you think this genre is a good choice for creating a learning game? Why or why not? It is adventure, I think it is a fairly good choice because there is some adventure in saving animals.
* Design Analysis (Does it look good? Does it clearly illustrate the issue or learning concept?) the game does look good and it does clearly illustrate the issue.
* Usability Analysis (Is it clear what you need to do as a player? Does it work well?) yes
* Suggestions for improvement. How would you change the gameplay to make the learning and play experience work together better? the graphics could be a little better and they could have set the game play better.
* List 2-3 things that you would like to learn how to do (in terms of functionality, design or content) I would first want to learn how to design a game, and I would like to learn how to put content in the game.

* What can you learn from this game? Not really anything
* What game genre is it? Do you think this genre is a good choice for creating a learning game? Why or why not? Adventure, I don’t think it’s a good choice because I don’t see how this kind of game fits in adventure.
* Design Analysis (Does it look good? Does it clearly illustrate the issue or learning concept?) yes it does look good but it didn’t illustrate the issue and I didn’t learn anything.
* Usability Analysis (Is it clear what you need to do as a player? Does it work well?) I need do design good games that gets my point across.

Internet Safety

I think internet safety is important because you dont want people kidnapping you after school and you never seing anyone ever again. its also important because you dont want the wrong people looking at you information. Some hacker could get you information and ruin yoiur life forever, they could take everything you own because you didnt use internet safety.
