Response to Second Life

Second Life

This is in response to Patrick's post on second life. I also had a wonderful experience with my classmates in second life. The first time I enter second life. I had a hard time trying to get off the training island. For some strange reason, I could not pick up any objects or even sit. How weird was that? As Patrick stated, "I have went to other links at different sites and have enjoyed far too many hours looking around." I have done the same thing. I look forward to using Secondlife as an instructional tool.

I just got a chance to listen to the podcast on Podcast: Using Second Life for Immersive Learning.
It was really interesting to hear how Cynthia Calongne, she is using secondlife. Her students meet and collaboratively work on projects and exchange information.
I really liked when she said she has an underwater office and she has sharks on the island. (WOW)She mentioned she goes to her office for relaxation.
She also talks about the avatars and how they represent the inner you. I know mine does. I would have to agree when she says there is a strong sense of community in this virtual world. The meetings we have in second life are great. We all have an opportunity to explore a "WORLD" without ever leaving the comfort of your home.

Second Life

Hey guys,

I think I am getting better at second life.

What about Secondlife?

What can I say about secondlife?

I know it is a community working together to build a new online space for creativity, collaboration, commerce, and entertainment. I joined secondlife today. I am in the process of doing the tutorials. I am still on the beginners island. Can some rescue me? It is very interactive and interesting. It was funny looking at avatars walking into things and trying to fly. I guess I am not the only one struggling.
