Whimsyy's Ninth Week

The last missing member of our group has been added to the Facebook messenger group and has added his work to the Google Slides presentation. I am delighted as I feel we are all together as a group now. We have organised to go through the work on the 6th of December at 6pm. I will be back with an update.

All of the group together.

Update:

Myself and the rest of the group yellow had a Messenger call on the 6th of December at 6 pm as previously mentioned. We went through the work done so far and talked about any changes that was needed. The work was looking good and I was pleased with the progress. We organised to have the work completed before Wednesday the 12th so that we could do a practice run through the presentation as a group on a Messenger call. I made a second Google Slides account and asked if we all could place our related images to the written work on it. To also have our images placed in order of reader so that it would be ready to go through the practice run. This is going to be the Google slides presented used on the main day. (13th December 2018). I wrote in the time and date for the deadline and practice day on our Messenger group and made any alterations I felt would make the presentation look relatable to the topic, with a nature themed background. I also chose to change the original background as the text was not readable which would cause problems during presentation. I will be back for an update of the practice run through.

Update:

It is the 12th of December 2018 and my team Yellow were on a Messenger call. We each read through the work one by one, Muriel001 being first as she wanted to bring the class to a location related to refurbishing furniture which we felt was best to do at the beginning. Maevebrienny was second, Myself being third, Cmragasa was 4th, JonathanBK was 5th to read and JeromeZZC was 6th closing the presentation.

Myself and Muriel001 went to her suggested location to see what it was like. The location worked and there was a refurbished piano waterfall in the centre of the location. This is where Muriel001 felt best for the class to gather first to get the atmosphere which we agreed on. The presentation went smoothly and we felt comfortable about presenting our presentation tomorrow. I will update below on how this went. Fingers crossed!

Whimsyy's Eight Week

Whimsyy's Eight Week Privacy- http://www.brhs.com.au/privacy-information/ The topic of conversation on SL today was about privacy. Most of the class had never had to have a conversation with their circle of friends and family about limiting what is posted on social media. I personally have had a few situations were a Facebook messenger group was made to whomever was going to an event and was specifically asked not to, for example, “respect our privacy and to not post any pictures of our baby from the christening” or “could you not post any pictures of me”. I thought it was a normal thing to be asked as I feel everyone deserves their limit and privacy on social media. Not everything can be in your control but if something can be then everyone has the right to their privacy. Group update: We are all continuing on writing our work on 'Google Slides' at the moment, refining our information. We still talk through messenger chat but will arrange a group call soon t

Whimsyy's Fifth Week

Whimsyy's Fifth Week The medium is the message: https://www.azquotes.com/quote/195279 Our Class this week was moved to the day before its usual schedule as our lecture was away and it was a more suited day to go ahead with the class. Not everyone could attend but I managed to re-arrange my plans to make it as I wanted to ask about the assignment given. John spoke about Marshall McLuhan and how he sees tools as an extension of what we can do as well as an extension of ourselves. We were using different tools as examples to explain how his thought process went. If you have a hammer, it’s a hammer simple as, but if you pick it up, it is now part of you. Depending on what you chose to do with it and now you see though the hammers virtual eyes, thinking of the things you can do with it. We make tools do certain things, but the manner in which we use it, can be a cure or a disease. This impacts how we see everything around us. We then talked about how this all depends on wha

Whimsyy's First Week

Whimsyy's First Week Image captured in SL of my avatar flying. My Journey into second life began when I had to pick an avatar which best suited me. Instead of going into great detail of personalizing a character, I just chose to pick a default character as no one knew what I looked like in person apart from 4 people from my original class, I didn't feel the want or need for others to see what I really looked like. I also felt that being an avatar gave me a chance to step out of the ordinary so why look ordinary? I may change the avatar exterior look in time as it wont matter because my avatars name will stay the same. Image captured in SL in our virtual class. On Thursday the 27th at 8pm I went to the set location for the class and flew my avatar up unto the room and sat down. The rest began to follow an
