0501 Second Life

This time, teacher wanted us to try voice chat and build something in Second Life.

At first, I didn't know how to build objects or cast objects to the grounds, and threw a lot of trees and grass onto the ground. But, later I could even change the shape of the object. I made a big cube first. Then, I pulled it up and down, forth and back to change its position. Next, I use the function "stretch" to change its shape. I made a cube become a thin board. Teacher then ask us to add photos and texts onto it. I changed its texture to add photo onto the board.

I first randomly picked a photo in the computer to try the function.  This is the picture of lighthouse.

Then I encountered a trouble, which is the size of the picture was too big, so that whenever I uploaded the photo, the game would jump out to the scene of login by itself. So, I tried and tried, and finally changed the texture of the board successfully.

I used a photo which is taken by my classmates, Head Planer, and used Power Point to add texts on the photo. I typed "Don't cross the line!" not only because teacher told us that our neighbor prohibits us to cross the line to his land but also recently, there are too many social protests in Taiwan, and the polices always use "roadlocks" to circle out the scope of activities. 

The next requirement was that we needed to use Audacity to record the our verbal conversations which we utilized the function "voice chat" with others. Thus, I chatted with Head Planer. We discussed about why she made a anti-nuclear sign and also chatted with each other mostly in Chinese.

And, here is the audio, and the picture in it was took during our conversations:

I had funny and interesting experiences. From now on, I can "talk" to the other foreigners in Second Life!!
