![]() ![]() I’m glad we got a brief glimpse at a more vulnerable side of the series’ protagonist, but I wish Ordinal Scale saw that through to its conclusion, rather than regressing right back to the overpowered Kirito who needs to save his troubled Asuna. ![]() Kirito is often criticized for being an uninteresting, overpowered and one-note character, so I was hoping Ordinal Scale would add a bit of depth and more dimension to his character. At least, that how it starts.Thanks to a turn of events the movie flips back to the aforementioned Kirito-Asuna dynamic I was hoping would be entirely absent. Ordinal Scale flips that on its head, putting Kirito in a position where he isn’t the all-powerful hero, giving Asuna a bit of time to shine as a talented and capable person who isn’t just a plot device that needs rescuing. I really appreciated this shift in character dynamic, as Asuna has all too often been made the “damsel in distress” who the great Kirito must rescue. Meanwhile, Kirito isn’t particularly interested or skilled at the AR game and would much prefer to dive back into the world of VR. This wearable device (not unlike super-powered form of Google Glass or HoloLens) transforms the world around the user and features a number of different applications, including fitness, productivity, and of course, gaming.Īsuna is quite skilled at Augma’s most popular game, an augmented reality MMORPG called Ordinal Scale.

![]() Morph ball is back with features new and old, including the "Screw Attack" which allows you to jump up two vertical walls. These usually involve pulling, pushing or twisting the Wii Remote as if you were opening locks. It wouldn't be a Wii game without some kind of gesture system, and Corruption employs a handful of different interaction elements when accessing doors and control panels. The new PED suit allows you to enter "Hypermode", activated by inserting one of your energy tanks into Phazon, allowing you to become ultra powerful for a brief period at the cost of energy. Gone is the beam selector, replaced by upgrading your standard beam as you progress through the game. Samus' ship plays a much larger role in this final game. Corruption only has three visors to choose from Scanner, X-Ray and Ship. The control system is not the only area of the game that's been refined and changed since the previous two titles. ![]() "Standard" mode will have a dead zone on-screen that helps keep your view centred, while "Advanced" mode gets rid of that dead zone and offers even more precise movement for hardcore gamers. There's a range of control options, such as flipping the jump/shoot controls and aiming sensitivity. Hopefully other developers will take note of this control system. Retro Studios has proven that FPS games can work, and work well, on the Wii. The targeting/aiming system works brilliantly, raising the difficulty level over the originals. One key difference over the previous games is that when locked onto a target you are still required to aim with the Wii Remote - it's not auto-aim, it simply locks your view on that target. For those that aren't well versed, it's very similar to Zelda's Z-Targeting system. Holding down the Z button allows you to lock your view or, if aimed correctly, allows you to lock onto a target. The key to its success is the target/view locking. This system has already been employed by games such as Red Steel and Far Cry: Vengeance but none of them come close to the perfection of Prime 3. For those unfamiliar, you use the Wii Remote to aim/look and the analogue stick on your Nunchuck to move forward/back/left/right. The control system in Corruption is the best console control system for FPS games. So, does it work as well as expected? Yes, it does. ![]() It's no myth that this game was the whole reason the Nunchuck was added to the Wii control system. Corruption does this beautifully and you're soon comfortable with the controls and surroundings. This section of the game is primarily designed to introduce you to all the controls, characters and the story. Much like other FPS games including the previous two titles, you're eased into the game by completing the first "training" area. ![]() ![]() The Process of Self-Reflection in Teaching Rest assured that your passion for reflective teaching and your students won’t go to waste, and you may receive a better salary package in the future. ![]() In addition to advancing your career through relevant information, touching base with your supervisor regularly will show your dedication to your students and job. He or she will then guide you on the best methods to use and even share some valuable advice from their personal experience. However, make sure to be patient while listening to your students’ queries and celebrating mistakes while emphasizing that they lead to learning opportunities.įinally, by combining your reflections and self-assessment results, you can gather better data and opinions that you can use while strategizing with your supervisor. As a result, they’ll feel safe about sharing what they think. ![]() They’ll discover that you, too, are a learner who has successes, failures, frustrations, and concerns. Opening up to self-evaluation will also help you close the gap between you and your students. Not only will you offend the people you’ll be working with for the rest of the school year, but you’ll also end up teaching your students that reflection and self-evaluation are useless tools. However, don’t request feedback if you don’t plan on improving accordingly. By asking for their feedback, you’ll be able to discover problems in your teaching style and begin fixing them. As an expert on a subject, you understand what you’re trying to say. This process is fundamental if you have ‘at risk’ students who need more attention.Īnother reason to evaluate yourself is to enhance your skills as an educator. If you don’t take the time to evaluate whether or not your students understand what you impart, your effort and time will go to waste. There is truth to the trending topic of teachers teaching the value of failing intelligently, which is one of the top 10 education career trends for teachers in 2016Īs for self-evaluation, this process allows you to step successfully into your students’ role, their parents and your superiors entrusted you to take care of with expertise. “We do not learn from experience… we learn from reflecting on experience.” However, instead of having others make snap judgments about your method without having the context to support it, it is you who collects and analyzes all data to ensure that your teaching strategies improve if necessary. Self-reflection is one of the most efficient ways to acknowledge that your teaching strategies can be improved. Here is an article from the University of Washington on self-reflection on teaching. It’s an invitation to reap numerous benefits that will transport you to the ranks of a “rocking with the times” teacher. However, proposing self-reflection and self-evaluation isn’t to undermine your skills or demean you. After all, you are a capable instructor whom the school chose because of their capabilities, knowledge, and experience. It’s easy to become the victim of your ego when someone proposes that you reflect on your current process and evaluate it. Why You Should Reflect and Evaluate Your Work Analyzing this further will enable them to choose more appropriate goals as well as develop reasonable plans. As this is an iterative procedure, teachers will soon begin to recognize improvement. Through the self-evaluation stage that follows, they can recognize their strengths and identify weaknesses, which, in turn, allows them to formulate strategies for challenging situations. It’s a critical self-regulation factor that motivates teachers to monitor their performance and evaluates their progress against specific criteria. Understanding Self-Reflection and Evaluation in TeachingĪs a reflective teacher, you know that ‘reflect’ means to ‘contemplate to think seriously.’ However, reflection goes far beyond this meaning in an educational setting. ![]() This process does coincide with the growth mindset concept that is very important in education and anyone’s life. You need to embrace and model two tools for your students: reflection and self-assessment. ![]() However, to become an exceptional educator, you need to go the extra mile. Improved class performance, small ‘thank you’ notes from students and their parents, and the appreciation of your peers and supervisors – these are just some of the things that testify to you being a good teacher. Self-reflection and evaluation are an important part of my daily routine. Do you consider yourself a reflective teacher? Learning and understanding how you can use self-reflection and evaluation in education to move your career and personal life forward to achieve your goals. ![]() ![]() ![]() Let’s look at another way Configurator can be a lifesaver for organizations that need to manage lots of Mac computers.Ī Mac purchased directly from Apple, participating Apple authorized resellers, and cellular carriers can be assigned to your organization in Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager.Īnd having the Mac assigned to your organization provides access to some key device management features.įor example, automated device enrollment enables your users to enroll in your organization’s MDM solution with the flow integrated right into Setup Assistant in macOS.Īlso Automated Device Enrollment paired with AutoAdvance enables a completely touch-free configuration solution for Mac computers by just connecting to power and ethernet.

But more than six years later, it’s still the online shopping companion I rely on the most. Like any app, Capital One Shopping has its pros and cons. I was beyond excited for a tool that could help me save money with little to no effort on my part. That’s why, when I heard of Capital One Shopping (formerly Wikibuy) back in 2017, I immediately looked up and added the browser extension. What if there’s a deal I don’t know about?” But every purchase thereafter came with a twinge of guilt because, I thought, “I could be spending more money than I need to. Sometimes I’d search through pages of codes only to find that none of them worked.Įventually, I stopped trying. In the past, every time I would get ready to check out online, I’d open a new tab and type “ coupon codes” into Google.

I personally think this game has potential and a team that wants to work on making it better, which is more than I can say for some games. The devs are people too and deserve some amount of credit for making an effort. That was a pretty brutal review and some of the points are warranted, but I disagreed with enough of it that I felt like I should play devil's advocate. "Hi I'm a nun that swears!" That's great, I'm not sure that qualifies as a joke, but would you please stop telling me this every time we meet? Why is this your only line of dialogue? T3, T4 and T5 all had more depth and humor The radio DJ and adviser commentary is not even that funny, it's just a couple of routine jokes all on repeat. If it continues in this direction T6 will be a hollow fish bowl of a city builder that has more in common with Anno than previous Tropico's aside from the music and location There's not even workers skills or managers, it's just generic people with nothing special to think about or make choices over T6's version is a social media style click and wait timer, it's just a progress bar with no interesting choices to be made.īridges and tunnels are welcome additions, if it wasn't for the fact they just mask how tiny the islands are and how little room there is to do anything interesting with farming other than to follow the missions instructions and be done with it T6 brings back "raiding" which was a thing missing since T2, the problem is T2's version had depth and was interesting. If this was Tropico 3 and the first attempt at rebooting tropico into a 3D engine I'd say they were on a good path, the problem is we've already seen what the series can evolve into (T4 and/or T5) but this is a dumbed down T3, a step backwards in many waysĮven the "new" systems aren't that special. The framework for a good game is here but it's missing so much compared to T4 and T5 that it's just kinda meh Which is a shame because the engine itself is solid and functional. Overall the list of what's missing (for me) is longer than the list of what's included. ![]() So overall content is lower, customization is lower, ability to control wage/rent is lower and so on There's 15 stand alone missions (the way T3 used to be ~ compared to T4 and T5 both of which had entire campaigns + stand alone missions). It lacks presidente backgrounds and customization traits, it lacks a campaign mode, it lacks individual tree and decoration placement, it lacks micromanagement of wage/rent and quite a few other things ![]() While it technically has more buildings, that's about all that can really be said for T6. T6 is like a simplified T3 with the worst parts of T5 shoveled on top ![]() |
