EIR Week 4: Second Life

I am having the EIR e-learning now, as I have been told to do Second Life exploration. Here are a few pictures of what I've been doing inside the Second Life like having fun on the swing.

And I got a diving suit for ffree and I change my avatar when going underwater.

More photos will be coming out soon...

To the lecturer, my computer could not access to Second Life because it requires a 32-bit display, and I only have 16 or 24-colour bit display when I received an error message. So whgat I do is to go back to the EIR lab room and finish up the Second Life shopping spree.

In the Second Life Shopping Spree, I only started discovering the places that I've never seen before. I am browsing through each and every shop that I'm looking, but I do not have much Lindent money to buy some accesories that relates to my topic (which is single parents for youths). Worst still, I do not have enough time looking everywhere in Second Life because I have insufficient time looking for the items that I want and still, no Lindent. Lindent requires paypal credits and I hate paying real money to buy Lindent virtually.

Secondly, I've maqnaged to find sufficient time to finsh as much as I can in school but not at home, and none of my friends, familiy and relatives uses Second Life as when I tell them, they have never heard about it, so it is a strugtgle to finish up the shopping and ends up incomplete. No screenies were captured because there is too much ladies property as I visited one of the island.

If I were to visit Second Life again, then I would think of buying some rare books, stationary and furniture when I have more Lindent.

To the lecturer, I apologised for not completing the e-Learing processes becuase of my own birthday celebration (16/11/10) and medical appointment on Friday afternoon. I hope you will give me more time complete the e-learning..

EIR Week 3

From what my lecturer says, I was impressed by the search of Google and Google Scholar. It gives me the accurate details of the search with the correct passage when clicking on the link. Beautiful and accurate passage and essays thats suits my choice.

Next, discussion forums on internet lives. I can see me and my class different views on internet lives. Yes, internet eats up a lot of times on games, chat and networking when we have no other time doing other things like homework, outing and activities like sport. However, the forums does not link to what the topic I am suppose to do, because the topic that I have chosen was the discussion on the cause and effects on youths having a single parent. It does not relate to the internet lives that we spent on the cause ad effects on youths for single parenting.
