Ok….I will admit it… I had my apprehensions about Second Life from Day 1. Saying things like…”there’s no way this will work” and I think the word “silly” came out of my mouth at some point.

No more…I think I can get used to the navigation pretty quickly. In a matter of 10 minutes I had my dragon avatar suit going on, a set of black spider outfit type of thing, bat wings (TO THE BAT CAVE ROBIN!) and I was off to Kathy Schrock’s place. The second I walk in, she was right there wondering how I got into her place. Seems she forgot to lock the door or I’m an L33T Sup3R H@cK3r or something. From there she let me snag one of her schnazzy Schrock’s Guide for Educator T-shirts and I was off to the ISTE Complex. I will definitely head back there tonight when more people are around, should make for more interaction. Here’s some screen shots of Mithras Barbosa (combination of my online gaming persona and Pirates of the Caribbean, ARRGG!) and my first 30 minutes in Second Life.

The screen shots are saved in .bmp, and I used Zamzar to convert them to .jpg. I’m sure there are other tools out there…but truly like ease of use that zamzar gives.

Seeking the Wisdom of the Ages…
