3rd class: Dominoes and Fieldtrips

Posted at 10:01 am under Second Life, Tampa, teach-the-teacher training

Friday night we started by exploring the library in the inventory (the INN-ventory not the inVENTory ;-). We pulled out parrots and rugs and lamps and rocket launchers, then played with the beach balls and dominoes. This gave more practice in camera controls. We also looked at shift-drag to copy dominoes and shift-click to select multiple objects, which meant Rachel very quickly filled the sandbox with hundreds of dominoes!

We then mastered the delete function by tidying up the sandbox. The next task was loking at profiles and starting to add to our own profile information. We took photos of ourselves in SL, and Crystal took pictures of our RL selves too.

We then went on a virtual fieldtrip to The Port, Angrybeth Shortbread’s fantastic art gallery of scripted objects. There is a kind of SL Garageband, a wishing well, a zoetropp, and some objects that play about with the avatar ‘keys’ - a unique set of numbers and letters that each avatar has.

At the end of the class we had a quick look at the Kidz Connect island on the teen grid, and while we were there we met Kadishuu, one of the kids from Kidz Connect two years ago!
