[IDT] Workshop 4 part 2
Well, I do know that coming into this program I had absolutely no clue what to do, or how to go about doing them- whatsoever but I feel a lot more comfortable with the general stuff (for instance how to make the avatar dance). I would have to say that the one thing that would be the most useful to me in the future is how to animate/ build objects, because a lot of other programming has the same concept. The coolest experience with the teen second life people over in New York would be the digging, and the construction of the actual fossils because we worked together the whole time, and everything was new and interesting to explore how to do them. I learned the specific combinations of substances that help recover the fossils, what time to use what particular tool, and how to match up the bones to complete the whole thing. Here I learned by doing instead of having lecture after lecture. Yes that is good because I learn best by doing first hand, but it was bad that unlike in a classroom, it is really hard to get help when you need it, and you have to rely on a computer and the internet.
