1.In World vs. Real World: How is the virtual society different than our real world society?
2.How was your group meeting in world different, better or worse than the meeting in Blackboard Vista's chat groups that your instructors set up for this course?
3.How can virtual worlds like Second Life enhance the teaching and learning experiences for students?
4.What are the implications for the arts and society?
1. In world we feel like we’re always alone because there is no one around us. When we went out on our own we didn’t see anyone. Society in the real world is connected and you can share bonds with people a lot easier than Second Life.
2. In world group chat is a lot better the chat in BP Vista. Instead of just reading text in a chat you can see someone move around and you can talk and listen instead of text or you can do both. In chat you really can’t do gestures except when you say it but in world you can see it as well. There is also ways f building something or sharing in world that you can’t do in chat.
3. They can enhance them by using Second Life as a field trip instead of spending money to go see the real thing. You can experience different cultures or learn about them through pictures that are uploaded onto Second Life. There are simulations students can use to help enhance their understanding of different concepts.
4. There is so much art on Second Life it’s almost like a database for art. In Second Life you can create art or buildings. Make clothes and change your appearance to look like art. Society there really wasn’t much that we saw of difference, because we didn’t see any society.

SL going green
This shot of me was taken in a museum of some sorts. Every wall is covered with pictures of art. You if notice in this picture, there are hearts on the wall, which say Valentine's Day. Interesting...
This is my favorite shot of all of them that I took. This is a shot of me sitting on a ledge looking out onto the bay. Behind me is a beautiful waterfall running into the bay. On top of this hill, there is a mansion that overlooks everything. You can actually see part of the house in the background.
This is a screenshot of my avatar sitting and watching a campfire. If you notice, it seems like the owner of this fire is burning furniture, for whatever reason. Also, around the fire there was furniture around with no organization... possibly more fire wood?
This picture to the right is of a tour ship that offers players a guided tour. If you were to enter the ship, they offer different packages for players to buy.
