Today after I read the tutorial number one I tried to draw a car and to to make it move but it didn't work and this is my drawing
Today I was reading the Etoys Tutorial 1 because I'm tring to learn how to use Etoys.

Friday, December 17, 2010

This week I was testing Etoys and we found really good information with Mr Elkne's click here .
Today I was playing around with Etoys, but I still don't get how to use and do stuffs in there because I try to draw something and make make it move but it didn't work I don't know why, maybe I did something wrong I'm still going to try until I get it.
This whole week a lot of the programs were failing, everything starting to fail after I put it Matt's package to my synaptic package.

Thursday, December 16, 2010

So today I was just waiting for Matt to fix the Internet Browser from sugar so I can download programs to my sugar .

Monday, December 13, 2010

Today I was trying to go to my web browser and it failed to start some of my games that used to work didn't work any more so me and Mr Elkner we delete the activities first because the activities none of the activities were working, so we use the terminal to delete it. After we delete it, it was still not working specially the browser that's what I need more when I'm on sugar to do my research. We came to the the conclusion to delete the sugar program but my browser is still not working it is failing to start.

This is the website to the game word search, and I don't really like that game because its too short!!


Friday, December 3, 2010

The activity Maze activity is really good and its about like a map and you have to find the way out of it and every time you finish each level then comes one harder .
other program i tried was word search and it is really interesting and fun they give you some words to find but the think that i don't like is that its just one game, when you finish the first list the game ends there . But it actually fun i hope that they can make it longer.
today i was testing juegos flash and that program has a lot of games in it like soccer games , penalty games mathematics games, chess, cooking games, bowling games.
The soccer games is really fun but i don't know how to shoot but i do know how to pass and everything !!
The penalty games is really good and i love it is really easy to play and understand.
The cooking game teaches you how to cook a pizza and they give you a limited time to do it.
The bowling game actually doesn't open now. but im going to still try to make it work.
