Global Kids' Digital Media Initiative

Hey its Idan, I know this is sort of late but I had some problems signing in and therefore wasnt able to post until today. Anyway, last thursday the we worked in class on a very cool little project. My group created a billboard with an uploaded picture in Second Life to demonstrate the result of the absence of justice. We used the picture of a woman crouched over in fear in the sand. This was an image from an article on the genocide in Darfur. I found it to be a very powerful image and therefore something that should be seen. Hopefully our billboards sparked some thoughts and caused people to look up some of the issues we adressed.

In Tuesday's class we experienced some internet problems so we had a little bit of a lecture on the rules of Second Life and what we were gonna do is see if any of the other residents knew about them. The other day I encountered someone who obviously either did not know or refused to obey the rules because he caged me, over and over again. Caging is when in Second Life your avatar is literally trapped in a cage. It is against the rules and quite annoying and I swear if I ever find that guy I'll sure give him a beatin-I mean report him >.> Anyway that's it for now, I'll have more for next time. Until then,
ciao.
