Reda: Mom what are you doing?

Me: doing my home work ( playing Facebook game)

Reda: but you are playing mom. I want to do a home work like you.

Me: Reda, go and finish your work. I have a lot to do with this game.

yes, it was my home work for a whole week. we were required to play a Facebook games and write reflection on these games. I think I was so excited about the game to the extent I did not hear my professor saying that we should post something in our blogs talking about those games. Even though, I wrote all my comments manually. 

First: 

What skills should I have to play these games?

Ok. literacy skills come first and Facebook skills come next. to be able to play these games one should be able to understand the language of instructions and to know how to use Facebook for interaction with others. 

the first lesson I learned from these games is that Facebook becomes a genre that is difficult to ignore. There are about 2,000,000 people playing those games, majority of my Facebook friends are hosting these games. therefore, the visibility of Facebook is too obvious to be ignored. 

Wordox:

The first game I played was Wordox. a vocabulary game where you need to construct a meaningful words based on a given letters. this game is played with people around the world. therefore, when I played I felt so good that I am competing with people I do not know. What I learned from this game was amazing:

1) new vocabulary each I play. Around 5 to 10 vocabulary each time.

2) typing quickly .
