avatar class questions this is for Uva.

For our first class i might have felt overwhelmed had it not been for the fact that everyone else in the class was basically new to second life and really had no way of making other feel bad by doing to much cool stuff. I think it works  well however trying to organize large scale actives for us to do like  running  around is  difficult. I think the best way to do something  like that is  the same way you play the game four  corners in roller  skating.  we  need clear visible marked land marks with numbers on them   and the instructor can say group 1 go to corner 2. Instead of tasking us individually to go to random spots on the  grass. I wonder if  there is a roller skating  rink in second like that would be a cool way to learn how to use your  avatars. I think people are  comfortable with using the combination of  text and chat. It was  very difficult to address anyone when you didn't  really know  who they are. That  really isn't conducive to a academic setting. We really need to know who we are addressing from the get go, although some voice morphing is fun.
