I do declare!
I have arrived! The tower is a rock'N but, there was no one there. :-(
I thought I might run in to some of my classmates but, I didn't. I think it would be cool to have a conference in Secondlife. I mean you don't have to leave your home and you can dress for success without having to shop for hours. Well, maybe if you are not me. I had a hard time trying to get my avatar's clothes changed. I kept trying different things but, they all looked crazy. I think there should be a closet that you can go in and try on outfits.
I didn't have a hard time at all figuring out how to get the UCM's campus. I just played around until I found the teleporter. I enjoyed going to the beach the most!

Second Life is a pretty easy program to figure out. I also enjoyed changing clothes to look different. I think when I started that is what I spent most of my time on. It must be a girl thing. Just like playing with Barbie's again.
ReplyDeleteI never changed my outfit, but it sounds like I should try to if you two had so much fun!
ReplyDeleteMelissa I think you are right it is like Barbies...lol I am going to go back in and play dress up! Then I think I might go to ItalY!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad all of you enjoy Second Life. I'm still not a big fan of it. I know we're supposed to look past the idea of "younger students", but that's what I teach and I still have bad feelings that I would lose some kids and they would end up someplace they shouldn't. I think there is a lot of information presented in SL, but there is also a lot of pay for this and that that is a pain..
ReplyDeleteI thought I would run into someone from class too..but no such luck.
ReplyDeleteI never even saw anyone on campus! I'm sure it's not like that in the Real World. I've changed clothes several times and I'm still not happy, especially since I can't carry a purse!! :(
ReplyDeleteHa! You remind me of my sister. Whenever we play Nintendo Wii, she is obsessed with making sure her characters clothes are 'just right'. I am always in such a hurry to play the game - I really could care less! Anyways, I am afraid that if I try Second Life in my classroom, I may have a few of my students spending too much classtime playing with clothes. Maybe if I ever use it I would give it as homework. But I already have problems making sure the kids have a word processer at home, let alone a vitrual world!
ReplyDeleteI am considered an old timer and back in the days we'd get L$300 each time we log in/day. When I got to $1000 I'd buy a new outfit and yet, it was like playing Barbie :P I'd spend a lot of time dressing me up. I probably shouldn't have though... I was on UCM penny :P BUT hey, I had to teach how to dress oneself and purchase and all that so it was all part of the educational process, right? :)
