Feedback Strategies

 Article one: Try Feedforward Instead of Feedback I chose this first article to give feedback on because i was drawn to the topic the moment i read the heading of the page. Immediately i put together what the article would consist of and i am glad to say that i was nowhere near disappointed with the information that i acquired. This article speaks the truth as it tells us about how people have been providing feedback for a long time now. This article explains the art of how we should provide feedback and tells us that we should be giving feedback in a way that will allow progressions and allow one to work with the feedback rather than giving them feedback on something they cannot alter.

Looking through the first reading ( What are the Qualities of Games? ) we see a couple of different things that help us kind of get a better idea of how components and other things work withing the game itself. There are many things that a game consists of and the more i go through the first reading it opens my eyes not only to new information but to different questions and different ways of looking at a game. Everyone would love to create a fifa or call of duty type game right off the bat but in reality that's not how it works.

Here are some of those questions:  What challenges do the players face? What actions can players take to overcome those challenge...
