Whimsyy's Life - Second Life

Whimsyy's Presentation Day with 'Group Yellow'.     'Presentations have begun' -  Location- DIT classroom in SL. ( 13th December 2018) Well today is a day I will never forget. (13th December 2018) The day of the class presentations in Second Life. We were worried that being last would lose people’s attention but hoped that since there were only a few groups it would go well. It was our turn to present and we first sent the class a location link in S.L. We all teleported to Muriel001's 'furniture refurbishing' location. Well, all I can say is it didn't go to plan. A woman that as far as we could understand, was selling items in that location, wasn't happy to say the least about our arrival and banned us all from the location. We teleported back to the class and to say I was put off is an understatement. I was nervous as it was, especially with our group being last so my nerves had built up. I felt this situation had put a bad s...

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 i...

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 Seventh Week Group Work Theory and Practice - https://www.newlinkstraining.com/management-and-leadership/group-work-theory-and-practice/ Muriel001 and myself organised for the group to meet up on a Facebook call a few times but they were cancelled. We finally managed yesterday (18 November) to chat with each other for 5 minutes, even with 5 minutes I felt it was better than no progression. Sandra had spoken first saying that the work she had done is on our google slides document and had to leave. I asked did each person have a look at the brief and if they had any suggestions or thoughts on it to which they said they were happy to go with what I had previously suggested. I didn’t mind this, I just felt the need for more suggestions other than mine to compare and contrast to get the best outcome for our group.

Whimsyy's Sixth Week For today’s class, John spoke about the importance of our blogs and to make sure that they are refined. I did a few changes so I’m hoping my blogs are up to standard. John was also saying to go from describing my experience in Second Life to now reflecting on my experience of team building which I will go though at the end. We were also asked to talk about how I might convert my personal presence online into an identity for professional networking as it is very important, therefore, to be aware of the nature of the online environment and to maintain a high level of digital literacy. Personal presence online can be as important to employers/ employees/ customers and followers, one must take into consideration when posting on social media, that it is there for all to see and that you can be judged with positivity but to expect the negativity too. Not everything is everyone’s “cup of tea” and it can have a backlash effect on one’s personal career or how ...
