How did gamers use the computer game Foldit to solve the protein folding mystery?
They gamers had created a game that is about a virus called "Aids" and they show them about the new cure that the found about the virus.
Who can particpate in this problem solving and be a player in Foldit?
The person who can play this type of game can be a person who has Aids and is going through the virus, so that way the can learn about it, or how to prevent it.
What can critical thinking do for science?
Critical thinking can do a lot of things for science, like what the game is about, to really think about how to stop the virus of Aids and how to stop it from preventing and keep going with a new protein that they found and could work to stop it.
If you could solve a mystery through gaming for any kind of disease or illness in the world, what would it be?
The illness that I would want to solve for would be cancer, because most people can have it, and its a very bad thing to have that can lead to death, and It would be a great idea to find a protien to cure cancer and prevent it from happening.

MiniGame
The latest week, we have been doing the Mini game in Flash. In overall, it has been fun and easier to do because I have learned all of it and I can use my knowledge to figure out how to do everything. As I started the steps, I had to look at the instructions, but as I read it clearly, I started getting it. I also got help from the Action Wizard, that helps you write out the action script and show how to plug-in the objects. I did get stuck a little bit, as I was starting steps 3. I just sat there until I got Up and got a good resource, my teacher. She helped me and solve my my problem. I got passed the rest of the steps and completed the Mini game.

9/11/11
9/11/11
The 10th anniversary of September 11th will be this Sunday. I really can not believe it has been 10 years since this awful event occurred. You were all very young when this happened, but it is important that you still understand the impact that the terrorist attacks had on our country and world at large. It is also just as important that we honor those that have given their lives to defend our way of life.
How old were you on September 11, 2001? Three years old at the time.
When did you first learn about the attacks and who explained the events to you?
Like In 2006.
What kind of impact did these attacks have on your life or your parents lives? It really changed how I thought about people in the middle east.
There is a game that was created about the attacks on September 11. It was called New York Defender and was released on October 11, 2001. This game outraged people because it was insensitive to the memory of those that died and the men and women giving their lives to help others. Read the article at http://www.rawstory.com/news/2007/911_video_game_outrages_survivors_0102.html and answer the questions below in your own blog post.
What was the issue with this game? Warfare
How do you feel about it? I think it is a little bit cool, but it could be really disrespectful because it might make someone guilty.
What is the problem with portraying on such an awful violent event through a video game? It could make someone who could of done something guilty.
How can you make sure that your web games tell the whole story or teach a lesson in an honorable way? I really couldn't say I Could, but I would just tell the straight truth and that it.

3# Single Story 2011
"Danger of a Single Story"
1.What does it means to have a single story about a place or a community? When someone thinks about 1 idea of something and have an opinion(Prejudice).
2.Describe a single story you have heard told about your community. What is messing from that story? How could people learn more about a community? I have heard that most of all East Austin, Texas school are uneducated and have low TAKS scores. What I've learned here at this school is that Our school has made very good scores and that shows that the east part of Austin has a school that can really go far. They are messing the positive part of East Austin schools and they are only talking about the negative parts of East Austin. They ask someone who has excelled in the East Austin area to explain how East Austin is just not crazy, it is really a good place to live.
