FUN!

FUN in Second Life is not //**always**// making new teacher friends and chatting with them about new technologies and projects. What are some of your most **//fun//** places to escape to in Second Life? Note 'em here and SLurl 'em, too!

Maybe I'll suggest organizing this by contributor:

Jeremy's already mentioned the [|Greenies Home]. YAY! I love that place! (sgm)

I'm also fond of the huge cruise ship build, [|the SS Galaxy]. I worked on ships for a year of my life a long time ago, and this one is the real deal.

I also like to sail. A simple search for sailing will get you off to the right foot, and purchase of a small "tako" boat is a good first step with that foot. (sgm)

This just in: [|Halloween costume shopping!] :) (sgm)

I like all of the cool RPGs and gaming sims in world. I don't know all of the RPGs but have recently gotten involved with a Star Wars RPG as an assignment for Dr. Dodge's Experimental Learning through Games and Sims grad course. I know of a couple 'gaming' islands such as Myst, Pot Healer's adventures and Ramapo on the TG (sorry haven't gotten the whole slurl thing down yet). Onder Skall also has a video arcade island that I don't remember the name of, but have a lm for if you want it.

For the most part though, as a gamer, I don't do much 'fun' stuff outside of social interaction in SL. If I want to have 'fun' with technology, I go to my Xbox 360 to play Halo 3, Madden '08 or Rainbow Six. I even taught my five year old daughter how to play Lego Star Wars II and she loves it. She has learned a lot about 3D perspective, problem solving and not giving up when frustrated.

I like the virtual action stuff (biking, skydiving...) - sign perhaps that I am a geek and not a true athlete. And I like to "do" these things with friends and colleagues. These activities add the campus experience to distance learning, broadens a sense of community and adds laughter to the serious and intellectual content of our interactions. slurl on the way Biking Surfing Skiing Skating Skydiving Hanggliding SCUBA diving - this is a total gas but costs $L300 for the suit
