Website: Second Life Tutorial - How to Make Tiny Prims: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6XqQM9hgB0
I was reminded during the week eight lesson how I am barely touching the surface in using the virtual world environment! I really felt like a noobie throughout the presentation and on top of that due to a horrendous Internet connection my avatar was not going to cooperate so any movement was disastrous and there was a five-minute lag in posting a chat so participation was impossible. Unfortunately, when having technical difficulties it is hard to concentrate on the content being presented. However, I really tried to turn this into a positive learning situation regardless of my frustration!
After the week eight class it was evident that I needed to learn more about Rapid e-Learning and the basics of building prims. As part of my involvement in taking this course I have had tremendous support from those in the small group in which I am part of as well as colleagues at my place of employment. Throughout the week, I worked with a colleague who showed me some basics on building prims – I should have asked weeks ago – and I also watched the video Second Life Tutorial - How to Make Tiny Prims. When I was going through the tutorial I really wasn’t sure how I could apply the information however the author/creator of the video showed some very basic small prims…fortunately I could relate to the examples! I really found the tutorial to be very helpful!
Without a doubt, I have so much to learn about Second Life – the uses within education, building, etc. I have a true appreciate for each new concept I learn and apply to this amazing environment!
As far as relating building tiny prims to theory and practice I can honestly say I have no idea at this point how I personally would connect this to a lesson/course. I am not comfortable enough with building to even know where to start let along integrate into a class. I look forward to collaborating with my colleagues who have great experience in building to see what their thoughts are on the topic.
