Current Progress Report
- This week I have done a lot of progress in terms of constructing more buildings/rooms for what he would have gone in to discuss major action plans with many important leaders. I am trying to make the buildings the same envisioning that I have of what his world would have looked like back in the 1500's. I included stone walls and fire torches to give the sense of the middle ages as well as what the towns and residenses the civilians lived in. Technology Usage - I still find this technology as an efficient way to portray the world of our explorers while it being fun at the same time. I think that it grabs our attention more than a regular project with papers and all-around research. The amount of help that I ask for is decreasing because after a while I'm getting the hang of how to work with the software. A challenge that I had was thinking ahead of what I wanted my explorer's world to look like just because I have an understanding of basic controls but I want to take it to a further step.
