This is the main entry inside of our building. Here is the board room, complete with viewing screen. All seated and ready to go! A look at the Student Area. Up until this point, I have just been showing the terrain and the main building outside. They have now started working on the interior a…
Creating Your World in Second Life
I ordered this book, and really like what I found. It gets a bit technical, but is written by people in the know. I am working through the tutorials. I think the snowman is very appropriate at this point with the weather we are having!
Clutter Bug Got Ya?
Clutter, clutter everywhere — not an end in sight! Clutter is not only unattractive, but it also drains us psychologically! I decided to write this article when I found three books waiting at my doorstep (ordered from Amazon.com by my husband). These books were: Conquering Chronic Disorganization by Judith Kolberg Making Peace With the Things…
Higher Praise — I thought I had lost it!
Higher Praise is a wonderful resource for Bible study, children’s Sunday School lessons, song lyrics, videos and more. For some reason, I lost my bookmark for this and went on a frantic search. Then, I remembered that I had it on the “old site” and decided I really needed to move that stuff over here….
View on 11/30 – Taking Shape

It is a great project management tool as well as communication tool that Designing Digitally is using. I really…

The Building has Commenced!
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 —…
Building on the Virtual Campus
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…
