The Popularity of Second Life

prblog.typepad.com
In our Emerging Technology class we learned and created an account with Second Life. I am not sure how many of us have visited this site since our first assignment was posted but this site is more popular than I realized. It is so popular, CNN will be entering Second Life and allowing those residents to provide them with news occurring in Second Life. They will send CNN information on upcoming events, etc. within their communities. To read more on this please click on the following link. Second Life

Scavenger Hunt (I'm Done)

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am done with finding all twenty-five flags. I had difficulties finding flag number 9 because the clue had to do with this past NECC conference which I did not atttend. I went into Second Life today and while in there I met Ms. RavenPhonenix Zenovka (IsteIsland Manager) and she told me a story about the conference which led me to flag #9 SO I AM DONE WITH THE SCAVENGER HUNT, thanks to Ms. Zenovka, yeah.

Here is a pic of me, Ms. Zenovka, and one more person. I had difficulties getting close to her without bumping so I just stood there and took the picture.....

Second Life

Second Life, what can I say but how addicting. I spent close to four hours on ISTE Island exploring and taking pictures for my extra credit assignment. I also had fun making my avatar look more like me. She went through lots of changes before I was satisfied with what I currently have. I still have more changes I would like to add to her but decided to save that for another day because my head began to hurt.

It was fun figuring out what I can make my avatar do such as sit, fly and dance. I also had difficulties getting her up when she landed on the floor after she flew. I had to teleport her to another place on the island to get her up so I'm still learning. I also had fun looking for all the flags but got a little frustrated because I have one more flag to find and I can't find it. I spoke to another avatar on the island but he had no clue what I was talking about because he was just exploring.

It was funny to get off the island and visit other island because I ran into other scary avatars. I tried not to get to close and just went back to where I started.

I will keep you posted of my finding of the last flag.....til then keep searching.
