Really does help to have someone there coaching you through it. I was lucky enough to have Jo Kay there to give me a hand. Please dont forget to include the MLearning Leadership Network in the SL orientation sessions - there are some great applications that link SL to mobile phones, the teaching and learning opportunities are endless - see my blog post on www.participatecontributelearn on this topic! .....and by the way - will you put my blog in the NSW Learnscope blogroll?!:) Val did extraordinarily well in her first hour!

The most difficult and time consuming part was choosing a name - it was worse than having to choose from more than one outfit in a boutique, or a multiple choice question! I ended up with Valiant Vita. Learning to use the arrows to move around was a bit of a challenge for me also. I'm not one to play games on the computer so am not use to that aspect - I kept reverting to the mouse and realising it wasn't doing anything, but I will learn. And I went through my worse nightmare though - I fell off the platform into the ocean - really scary! Thank goodness Alex was there to pull me out. (Actually, being surrounded by snakes is my worse nightmare, but this came close.) Learning to fly was fun although I had a tendency to come down to earth with a thud. I must lose weight! It was a brief session but enough to expose me to a whole new world of possibilities. I'll be in there again very soon. Thanks Alex for your patience, once again:-) My foray into Second Life was awesome.
