<span class="s1">Last Friday (May 31st), Matthew Samples of Tygarts Valley High School was recognized for his game design work at New York City's Carnegie Hall for the </span>90th Annual Scholastic Arts and Writing Awards Ceremony. Matthew's silver medal-winning game, Carl and Carly's Big Day, was created in Globaloria with partner Brittany Shrader, who was unable to attend the events in New York.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
Prior to attending the ceremony, Matt and his teacher, Mrs. Diane White went on a bus tour of the Big Apple and stopped by World Wide Workshop's headquarters for lunch.</div>
<div class="p4">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Special guests to the Carnegie Hall event included keynote speaker Sarah Jessica Parker, 2013 Alumni Achievement Award Honoree Zac Posen, Terrance Hayes, and Usher. There was also a video message from First Lady Michelle Obama.</div>
<div class="p4">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Over 230,000 entries were submitted for judging in the Video Games category this year, with just over 1,800 awarded silver and gold medals. The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards were created to identify teenagers with exceptional creative talent and bring their remarkable work to a national audience.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
Thanks to Scholastic for making sure Mrs. White and her student were able to attend the event.</div>

Here are a few photos from their visit to New York City:</div>

Happy Wednesday everyone!<br />
<br />
It is March, and that means that Globey deadlines are approaching soon. The next big deadline for many of your students in the Game Demo, due in early April. For a full list of deadlines for your area, please see any of the following links.<br />
<br />
Via the <a href="http://www.myglife.org/central/index.php/Globey_Awards" target="_blank">World Wide Workshop homepage</a> (available to all)<br />
Via <a href="http://www.myglife.org/central/index.php/Globey_Awards" target="_blank">Globaloria Central</a> (available to registered users, including students)<br />
Via the <a href="http://www.myglife.org/usa/educators/index.php/Globey_Awards_Primer" target="_blank">Globaloria Educators platform</a> (available to registered teachers only)<br />
<br />
Moreover, since many of your students have been using Globaloria and programming for some time, they may need a refresher. Check out the <a href="http://www.myglife.org/central/index.php/Actionscript_Cheat_Sheet" target="_blank">Actionscript Cheat Sheet</a> as a helpful reference for your students' team or hidden object games. It reviews syntax, programming topics, and some other things that your student might need for their projects.<br />
<br />
There is a printable version of this page, as well as many other great resources on your school's Help Center!<br />
<br />
Have a great day! =DJonathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00575731149876682354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622803519583746091.post-6033877850186060792013-03-08T16:35:00.001-05:002013-03-08T16:35:11.577-05:00Famous Faces Support Students Learning to Code<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

During a Google+ Hangout open to the public, President Obama called for more in-school offerings for K12 students in game-based learning, noting that computers and video games can be a substantial force to engage students in STEM and learning in general.<br />
<br />
"What it does is not only to prepare young people who may choose to not
go to a four-year college to be job-ready," Obama said, "But it also
engages kids--they feel like 'I get this, this is not just me sitting
there slouching in the back of the room while somebody's lecturing.'"

Here is a tip for you and your students that may help your run your class. A feature that we introduced this year to the Help Desk is the ability to connect your Google Account to the Help Desk. <br />
<br />
If
you or your students already have a Help Desk account, you can continue to use that.
However if you do not, there is a new option available. It's really easy:
<br />
<ul>
<li>To go the log-in page for the Help Desk in the upper righthand of the screen.</li>
<li>At the log-in page, click "Sign in using Google"</li>
<li>If you haven't signed in, sign in when prompted.</li>
<li>
Allow the Help Desk to connect your account.</li>
</ul>
When you preform these steps, if you don't have an account associated with that email, a new one will be created, and you can click the Google button to log-in.<br />
<br />
If you already have an account, you can also perform these steps in order to log in with the Google button.<br />
<br />
For more tips, check out the your school wiki's Help Center and the Help Desk's <a href="https://globaloriahelp.zendesk.com/forums" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Knowledge Base.</a><br />
<br />
As always, if you have any questions, feel free to message the <a href="http://globaloria.org/help" target="_blank">Help Desk</a>!Jonathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00575731149876682354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622803519583746091.post-20792269115514469792013-01-22T16:29:00.000-05:002013-01-22T16:29:26.415-05:00REMINDER: Mid-Year Virtual Academy - January 26th, 2013 - 11am - 2pm EST<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px;">Last week I volunteered in an effort to clean up <a href="http://www.nycgovparks.org/parks/randallsislandpark">Randall’s Island Park</a></span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px;">, a beautiful place where many local schools take field trips.</span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px;">Volunteering was a nice bonding and networking experience with the others out there. It also heightened my consciousness and awareness of my place in the world. All that plastic and pollution in the water- it made me so happy to work in an office that consciously recycles. As I became tired raking, I was so grateful for my 4 limbs and strength that others may not have- and I was happy to put it to good use, as I hadn't done manual labor in awhile!</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px;"> </span><br />

Don't panic, we have a fix for you! When students add their teachers as authors to their blogs, they are
defaulted as Authors. This means that they can create and delete their
own posts on the blog, but <b>not</b> the posts of the student. In order
for teachers to be able to edit their students' blog posts, they need
to have their students go back to the Permissions settings and change
the teachers from Authors to Admin.<br />
<br />
<u>Here is how you do it:</u><br />
Under Settings > Basic - in the section called Permissions, set the
Permission for the teacher's account from "Author" to "Admin".<br />
<br />

However, many states feel there are too many dangers and block certain things. With all the legibility issues today I can understand why but as an educator it can be annoying. In West Virginia now videos uploaded straight to Blogger will not display. A big white box will appear. Globaloria is updating the lesson so this is just a reminder that it is different and here are the steps to make it work.<br />
<br />
1. Upload video to Viddler.<br />
2. Copy the Embed Code.<br />
3. In Edit on your blog post, click the html tab.<br />
4. Paste<br />
5. Publish<br />

spending four days with teachers, it was soon time to celebrate with the

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For
those who don’t know, The Globeys is Globaloria’s annual award ceremony for
student games. We have a ceremony for each of the states we work with, this
year’s being Texas, California, and West Virginia. Because Globaloria focuses
on effort and creativity, we don’t solely look at whose games work the best. We
look for a good idea, originality, education factor, and how much effort went
into the production of the game. So, potential is just as important in doing
well in this competition as quality would be.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
energy during the ceremony was fantastic! Everyone was very excited to be
there. It was especially nice to see the smiling students and their hard work
being shown off. In addition, for me, it was nice to see how everyone’s hard
work – from the school’s side, with teachers, students, and administrators to
the World Wide Workshop side, with Shannon, Denise, and many others – came together.
It really helped me understand the impact that everyone’s roles have. Kudos to
everyone making this all possible!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">After
the Globeys, we had another training session devoted to training
administrators. We did not have them make games, but we did show them the tools
they needed to support their teachers. It was nice to see the administrators
take such an active role in Globaloria.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">After
getting the administrators up to speed, we all headed to the Leadership
Inspiration Awards at the Caperton manor. Being a newcomer to Globaloria, it
was a very eye-opening experience. Various principals and superintendents
shared their Globaloria stories, which really showed me how devoted everyone
was to the mission of Globaloria. Overall, the entire trip was amazing, and I
encourage anyone that has an opportunity to go to a Globaloria training to go
and do it!</span></div>
