Scripting in Second Life

I made it back into Second Life tonight and happened upon a scripting class for educators. So, now I know a bit about creating an object and while I'm only beginning to understand scripting, I know have some resources - both in SL and on the web.

But, what I really like about SL is the informal networking - especially what took place tonight prior to the class starting. It's also a good exercise in learning among teachers and how everyone wants to chime in even when it is diverting away from the instructors. There's not the same body language and eye contact in SL (obviously :-) ) so it's a whole new management approach.

As a result of the informal networking tonight, I learned about sims in SL that replicate the Capitol and the Sistine Chapel.

I wonder what it says that we are busy replicating real life in second life?

Hi KellyKate,

Thanks for coming to the class. Neither Emby nor I
had ever taught in SL before. I found it to be
very challenging. At one point, I was responding to IMs, offering teleports, looking through my vast inventory for hand-outs, reading the chat history, and trying to participate all at the same time! The hardest part is having to rely soley on chat to
gauge audience response. I'm so accustomed to picking up on visual cues.

See you at the next class.
