ERIK’S JUMP INTO SECOND LIFE

MY AVATAR

• Here is my avatar. He is a little androgynous I think. I changed his features and then I think I changed them back accidentally. I will “play” with his appearance soon.

EXPLORING

• I went to some other islands first when I initially created my avatar and saw some of the activities that take place in Second Life. I then went to the Empire Island (teleported via http link). That’s me, looking very comfortable in the theater.

FOOD!

• I’m still playing. I found this food in a building and I’m curious how all of these objects interact with my character. Am I hungry?

CONTEMPLATION

• I am very interested in the educational uses of this program. There is definite value in just the medium alone for hesitant learners. This is pretty cool!

…AND ALWAYS TIME FOR PLAY

• And the recreational value is also very amusing. All I have to figure out is how to jump of this while the swing is at its apex and then we will be having some fun!
