"If you want to get into the field of game design, you will need to have more than just an idea. Ideas are not worth anything by themselves. The reason for this is because it is very easy to come up with game ideas, practically anyone can think of game ideas- they are a dime a dozen these days. It all comes down to implementing your idea well. You will need to have a design document ready for your game, you cannot just jump right in and work on your game. Planning is a must in the world of game design, if you fail to plan, you are most certainly planning to fail.What to do when the initial design isn't fun?"

Think of a time when you were completely immersed in a learning challenge. A time when you became aware of the need to master a new skill or concept. A situation that took you outside of your comfort zone, when there were times that you became frustrated, when you thought of quitting, downed tools and walked away, but came back time and time again. Maybe it was a problem you had to solve. Maybe it was a challenge you wanted to overcome.

Some statements stand out in your memory for the power with which they resonate through you mind. I recall the first time I encountered the question posed by Alan November "Who owns the learning?" on the cover of his book of the same name. In four words, Alan poses a question that strikes at the heart of education and encourages us to re-think our approach. If we believe that the learner should own the learning, what are the implications of this for our teaching? Like a stone dropped on the surface of a calm pond, the ripples from a powerful idea spread, expand and gain strength. 

Traditional methods of teaching maths have more in common with how we programme a computer that what we might do if we wanted to engage our students in mathematical thinking. We shouldn't be overly surprised then when our students consider mathematics to be all about learning a set of rules that they need to apply in the right order so as to output the correct response. But is there a better way?

what if our expertise is imagined or false. What if what we think is so, just ain't so. This might be more common than we care to admit, and it is worth considering the source of this difficulty and its implications. 

Importance of knowing your brand Money tends to sift through our hands like sand when it comes to marketing. We try this and we try that, only to see we have wasted more than what we intended to. After evaluating we find most avenues are not beneficial or that many try to just take advantage of our lack of marketing knowledge. Some of the biggest cost in promoting your small business or how one advertises your service as a Pro could be very costly. When thinking on what path one will choose it is important to be well informed of all the options you may have that may be free. Once you have an established brand now the goal would be to create a trusted brand of your company or service. We have seen and read countless of articles and blogs about how many who try to market their business to no avail. There is no turnkey solution, it will take time to promote and establish a good rapport. If one is hasty it could be costly and wasteful with no return on investment ROI.
