In Second Life, I am Kiriki Tsure. Yes, folks, you need to know that once you pick your name, you can’t change it unless you create a different avatar entirely! You choose your first name, but your last name you need to pick from a list. I didn’t want to be recognized (ROTFL), so I…

In my SOW (that is Scope of Work), I indicated an “E”-shaped building. I wanted this to represent our District logo we call, “the bug.” The logo represents the three campuses joined by the Mississippi River. The “E” is really backwards and from an aerial view. Here is what my designers came up with —…

Well, today I hired Designing Digitally to give us a jump start on our EICCD Virtual Campus in Second Life.  The design team at Designing Digitally is going to design a futuristic building for our main presence, provide a landing point for us and give us a beach to play on!  From that point, we will…

I didn’t pay a lot of attention to it — thinking someday. Well someday is today. I was assigned to teach a course called “Intro to Game Development.” After…

Well, I thought about Second Life some more, and saw the educational possibilities.  So, I put in and IDEAS proposal at our college to get a litle seed money to buy an island and put a classroom, campus, district into Second Life.  There are some upcoming conferences that I hope will help, and a lot…

As a Noob, I did purchase some land because I wanted to build and create my permanence in Second Life.  Well, I had a free house that was really quite fancy with moving blinds and a fireplace and everything!  I found my spot of land and purchased it, but right after I did I was…
