[IDT] Workshop 4 Part 2
A new computer I skill that I learned while on Teen Second Life is rezing which is building objects and at first I only new how to make simple things such as squares and cones but as the days progressed I started to put simple prims together in order to construct more complex shapes and figures such as trees and houses. One more thing I learned to do was script objects which I think would be useful.
One of the coolest experiences that I had with Teen Second Life was being a virtual Paleontologist because I got an idea of what is like to be a Paleontologist. It gave me a better idea on whether I want to choose it as a career when I am older.
2 things about paleontology that I did not know before are:
· The steps of preparing and preserving fossils
· You have to go through many years of training and school
Learning in Teen Second Life is different from the learning I have done in person in the classroom because in the real world you get to see and hear the people but in Second Life you only get to hear some people. Some of the pros of learning in Second Life is that it is easy to watch videos. Also if you forget something you can just go to the local chat and see all the previous conversation. Some of the cons of learning in Second Life are that sometimes the Internet freezes causing you to lose information and get frustrated. Also you can actually see people and therefore cant see the expressions or body movements that your teacher might conduct will teaching.
