Global Kids' Digital Media Initiative

Hey there, this is Mercury! Throughout the past month, I have worked closely with my intern peers to help them create and execute events. Some of my peers have never really hosted events within Second Life, so it has been an interesting process to go through with them. This has been an overall positive experience for me, and a learning experience for the new interns. I have had much experience in Second Life hosting events and mentoring others, so it was in my nature to add input and insight when needed.

A few of the interns often contacted me to ask questions about their events - ranging from "What should I distribute to people who attend" to "How do I get a decent size crowd to attend?" which I answered based in my prior experience. Watching the other interns that I had worked with carry out their events was very interesting. They each had their different hosting styles, but all took advantage of the advice I had given them prior to the event.

All in all, the other interns that I worked with to help formulate and carry out events with did a great job! Their events were all successful, and there was a decent number of people in attendance for each of the events. I'm really looking forward to working with the interns in the months to come to keep improving on their event hosting skills, even though they won't need much help!
