Do you learn while playing a computer game?

Introduction:

Me and my class 10DTE had to play a game online called 'Interland'. We were to play all of the levels of this game and make 2 sets of analysis. One set will be for the content while the other will be for the game design. For the content, we needed to think about what we've learnt from playing this game, answering questions like What needs to be added? or What is missing from the game? and for the game design, we needed to talk about what we enjoy about the game.

DLO:

Interland

Reflection:

I like doing this analysis because it's actually helping me to reflect on what I was learning while playing the game Interland. When I played the level called Reality River it made me realize that I needed help when going on to the sites and being careful on the internet, because the aim of this level is to cross the river by choosing the best choices e.g, if you go on a site and there were pop-ups like "hey you've won a prize, congratulations please enter your address and password" what would you do, Enter your address and password, or ignore and leave this site. Obviously, I did ignore and leave the site but on the other questions I got it wrong, I've learnt that I need to be safer when it comes to the internet. 

Tower Treasure:

The level is showing us that we should be careful or be wise what we’re putting down on the internet like passwords or personal things like credit cards. I like the colours that they did on the level. It really shows that it’s a Tower Treasure. I think that it’s really easy to finish, there is really no challenges on this level so it is really easy to finish.

Kind Kingdom:

This level is showing to use the internet to spread all the positivity and block all the mean-spirited and inappropriate behaviours, don't be afraid to speak against bullying and report it every time.  I like the surrounding and the obstacles I also like the colouring it’s like a jungle.this level is easy to finish if you played one like this before because you have to master the keys you pressing or else this level is gonna be hard for you

Reality River:

This level is showing us that we need to be honest or be careful about what you're putting down on the internet because it might be a personal information. You also need to be wise on what you are opening on the internet because sometimes it is a hack or inappropriate links. The purpose of the game is to cross the water by having good and honest answers to different questions. I like the surrounding colour and the texture of the land.the land is a hexagon that reminds me of beehive but colour red and white. If I have a chance to change something I would probably change the questions because it’s a bit hard and tricky.

I've made my analysis into a table, 3 across and 3 down. First one is the name of the level, the second one is about the content(what the level is showing us, and the meaning of it) and the third one is about the designing of the game. I've made mine on March 1, 2018.

Questions:

Now that you've finished reading my blog, 
Will you play the game?
Will you learn the same things I have?
or Do you think the game is useless? or useful?
