[IDT] Workshop 4 Pt2
Some new skills I have learned about second life in the “I dig Tanzania” program are many. For example I didn’t really know how to make objects small or big, I also didn’t know how to dig!!! But with this program I learned to not only dig, but also communicate with other, to do team work, while they are miles away from us. We did massive amounts of teamwork with the kids from Chicago and they weren’t even next to us. I thought that was pretty cool. The teamwork skills is something I think I will take with me forever, it was not only a different experience but also an amazing one.
The coolest experience I had with my Chicago teammates were just learning about them and their different skills. Each of us brought different skills to the table and we collaborate very well together. I thought as a team we got the work done and had a little fun doing it.
3 things I learn about Paleontology were…. How to spell it. Lol
Another thing I learned was more about the personal experience the scientists endured. The food, the way they felt about the culture, how fulfilling it is to find something and figure out what the fossil is that you have found. Something else I learned is that girls are paleontologist as well!!
Learning in second life has been a way better experience vs. any classroom setting. Second Life makes everything so much better, I mean even walking to a camp site is much more exciting in the virtual world. Being able to type rather then write is also a much better experience. Its faster, for me and the best feature ever….Spell Check!!!!!
Overall this has been an amazing experience. I’m so grateful for Global Kids for allowing me to take part in this wonderful project. I would also like to say the trainers who were apart of this project were amazing. Shawna, RIk and Dominique were so awesome. There personalities and work skills were amazing to be apart of. They should host more projects. I would be apart of every single last one !!! ((HINT HINT)) The Trainers in Chicago were really great to work with as well
Oh and Barry is the man!! Big Boss Man lol
