Benefits of Digital Gaming

I love gaming and most adults may not know this but gaming actually helps in stimulating intellectual development as it builds skills beneficial as children grow older. Gaming also helps to develop our motor skills and expand our imagination. These all could be good in helping to keep at bay certain progressive illnesses as Alzheimer's disease. On top of that, gaming can also improve a child's capacity to remember better and also enhance other abilities such as their ability to induce and deduce, memorize, solve problems, recognize patterns, mind mapping. It can also help to improve their perseverance skills and manage the challenges brought about by attention deficit disorder very widely and commonly found in many children thesedays.

Baby Randy

The Synopsis

Randy is a hybrid mix blood between the African leopard lung fish and T-rex. Built to become a killing machine by nature for purpose of survival however Randy simply cannot bring himself to kill just to stay alive. To blend in with the civilized world, Randy eventually finds himself living on a life support which help him resist his temptation for blood and to stay alive, he became a star performer with the enormous talent he find himself possessing in a small night club name Marmalade. This help him pay his bills and being around with people prevent him from regressing back into his dark original sinful nature. Randy is my very first character/creature design when I do not yet know how to do digital painting using the Adobe Photoshop hence can only use pencil to draw...

Baby Randy is in commemoration of Randy Savage, the macho king (15nov 1952- 20may 2011) and Elizabeth (19November 1960 – 1 May 2003) ...r.i.p.. (via a dejavu on 2May 2012 when i learned about it on news in utube)

Importance of Phonemic Awareness

According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress, the lack of basic education often leads to high school dropouts and illiteracy evident in the adult population in many countries. The stigma of not being able to read or having difficulty pronouncing words may cause problems with self-image and self-confidence. When a child learns phonics, it can build his confidence, so he begins to speak up more often. This will contribute and help them greatly in the development of their leadership and management skills in future when they grow up.
