Austria opinion

A teacher in another school has recently blogged that:

“Students don’t learn much playing this game called Astria – Countdown to Impact: Their time could be better spent doing other things”.
I strongly disagree, because this game teaches us numerous of things such as: New vocabulary,critical thinking,inferences and so on.


This game may just be about finding clues and inferences but it has taught me some new words, for example I didn't know the word schematic until this game taught me it was a word for a detailed plan. Even though I have learnt new vocabulary, there wasn't that much questions asking about vocabulary, for example,what is the definition of a word or what's another word for this word.

Even though I only played this for an hour I have gained more knowledge by a collaborative effort.

Double Exposure

Double Exposure 
What I did here was I took a photo of myself in black and white. I then looked for a pattern photo to put on top of my photo of myself. Then I had to change the brightness to lighten and the same thing  when you do your contrast. If you will like to know more info about how to make one or even create your own click on this link.
