I had never heard of second life before doing it in class.  It was a great experience exploring all those places.  It was also great making friends, talking with others, getting all dressed up and best of all being able to fly.  I think I will  really be able to fly in a real second life.  Looking forward to that. 

I've had a Second Life avatar for about 6 months, but because my laptop doesn't have capacity to run Second Life I'm stuck with only my 1st Life. I am however curious about what my avatar does when I'm not around!

I work with an arts organization (National Black Arts Festival) we actually just had our first Second Life event about a month ago. It was a jazz concert broadcast in Secon Life. It went pretty well! 

i have heard quite a lot about second life - from dwight on the office playing in wolrd, to CSI and SVU episodes dedicated to the dangers of the game. i never quite understood how it could be so addicting, but after exploring the world for myself, i now get it...!

I couldn't think of what to use either of these for. But it dawned on me that since I'm going traveling this spring I could use a personal search engine to find places to see. So far they've both been very helpful though coming up with alot of the same sites.

I just got off Second Life after being on for about 2 - 3 hours. I'm not even sure how long. It was hysterical! I stayed on Help Island most of the time to try to learn to walk and move around. It's kind of weird talking to other people. And how come so many don't have clothes on?

Just a reminder - this week's class will be held in our Class Chatter chat room here. It will start at the same time as our regular class - Thursday at 6:30 pm, but shouldn't run as long. Don't worry if you have to run a little late due to a commute, etc., we'll be there. The class will discuss Second Life challenges and questions you may have come across, as well as best practices and software evaluation. To prepare for this week's class, think about:
