Introducing Alter Albatros

A very interesting line of inquiry that came up in the interviews was 'working on your appearance'. Reckoned to be one of the SL - skills to be dealt with I gave myself a try. Working on your Avatar makes you think about who you are, how you want to express yourself, what you like others to make of you, what you would like if you had a chance to take it in your own hand or improve your own 'You'. Give him a chance when you meet him.

OnRez

Some of the educators I interviewed complain about the complexity of the present software that is needed to get into SL. One of them called it appalling, others praise it. Anyway there is always room for improvement. OnRez claims to be more user friendly. It is, in my view, in a certain way. The look and feel is a bit more elegant, the back and history button for teleport is handy and the embedded browser to view web pages is convenient, especially when you do not have two flatbed screens next to each other as I have. The browser does not support all plugins. The Loop informs you on events in-world, commercial and non-commercial. The button Shops opens all opportunities to spend your L$'s!

Lighthouse Learning Island 86/36/24

Tidy place!! A handful of open spaced, open aired school buildings. Tables, chairs, couches: the works. Kathy provides teacher training for several schools in their own building in SL. The training is on SL - teaching skills. which will not be a dramatic change on what they know or are able to already. But the environment is new, with other challenges as well. And that is a major step to take. I decided to become a CNN reporter for a while. I got the press card and the kiosk. I ll keep you posted on my progress.
