This week I visited another island, Cybernauts of Skohegan, along with the Marlboro Group.  This island is art and media center created and used by a High School teacher in Skohegan.  His students are able to create projects such as slideshows, art, and dress up as characters from plays in order to learn.  I found this island creative and fun to visit-I even took a picture of a group of us and added it to the slideshow displayed in his art galleria entranceway!  The above picture is another which I took while we were there.

Ladybug on Arbennik Island

So, today I traveled off of Marlboro College Island in search of a flying hamburger.  While I was not able to locate that hamburger (yet), I did come across a gigantic ladybug which I took a picture of myself next to.  Not sure where to locate the hamburger but will keep looking!

First Visit

My initial impression of Jokaydia was a good one.  I am amazed at how much there is to do.  What I like most is that I am joining in with a group of people, some of whom are just starting out in virtual 3D education like me.  I once tried out Second Life but felt like I was just "out there in 3D land" as I had noone to show me the ropes.  Since having a teacher lead me through an hour long orientation in Jokaydia I am able to sit, run, fly, teleport, copy inventory, and take pictures with little problem.  I even "dressed" my avatar and accessorized!  The notecard assignments with instructions on how to complete every move are a great way to learn this world, and I am looking forward to a whole class meet as I wasn't able to attend this week's group meet.
