Exploring the island was not as hard this time, and
I am not sure why. I still am not good at finding designated areas such as
beaches or buildings, but I guess I am getting experienced with the overall movement
in Second Life. I have a handle now on the controls but searching for the sandbox
area was not fun. I think my box is situated in the right spot, it was the closet area that looked like sand. Actually
building the box was more fun than wondering around in Second Life for me. I
enjoyed making the box and changing the attributes of the box. I would like to
make more objects in different shapes and colors. The help of the three vectors
to stretch and enlarge or reduce the box was interesting.
For some reason I felt very lonely on the island and
in Second Life in general. As I moved around and saw other people, I did not
want to talk to them. I think it is the introvert in me. Stepping out of my
comfort zone is hard, even in a fantasy world. I think for school aged children
it would much more enjoyable with a partner or even a small group. But, I would
not ever invite my students to enter Second Life, it is just not age
appropriate.
I would like to have the time to explore Second Life more by
making objects and making my avatar move around like dancing or waving her arms
instead of just walking.
