First, I tried Puzzle Pirates. I guess I became bored right away and decided not to pursue reading through everything to figure out how the game worked. I have never really been into video games, except when I had a nintendo in 5th grade. That didn't last long as I soon became frustrated that I couldn't get past certain levels in Mario Brothers and it was only fun to shoot the ducks on the second game that came with the unit a few times.
Anyway, I tried Second Life. At first, I'm like, "Why?" So I read a few articles related to online learning and specifically articles related to libraries and teen Second Life. I was surprised to learn that you can purchase things, talk to people with similar interests, attend concerts, go to libraries to research. Then, I thought, "This is cool!" So. . I created my avatar- if anyone sees me- I am Hotcakes Hamm. I figured out how to alter my appearance and then navigate around info island. When I was driving a segway someone named Leonard Finch jumped on my segway for awhile but didn't chat with me, finally he went away. My favorite thing that I learned was how to fly!!!
I have not made it to Info Island yet, but that is where I am headed!!
