11.5- Thing Ten

Whoa! There is a sharp learning curve with Second Life. After the struggle to even sign up I got in and began playing with my appearance. At some point I gave up and started to explore a little.
I encountered a lot of other people flying and walking and running around. A lot of the media online helps and searches wouldn't work for me. Not sure why.
I spent a little over an hour playing and modifying things. I did teleport somewhere: a castle.
It wasn't thrilling. Never did find the other cool things some have mentioned. I did learn to sit and stand and fly. What the beams were for is still a mystery.
Interesting. Not sure how educational. I'd need to look around a whole lot more before I wanted to use this in a classroom. I think high schoolers would love this.

Chris, I had the same experience with Second Life, but I have read some encouraging comments about it. Maybe I'll give it a chance.
