As a few classmates were unable to attend the Thursday meeting a few of us had agreed to meet on Sunday. We met at Rocca Sorrentina, 1785: Italy and the "Grand Tour", Rocca Sorrentina. I had a chance to enjoy Impressionist and listen to classical music.We were able to share some links from Poem's tour and visit the Aquarium. In addition we went to Machu Pichu walking to the top. I explored a bit on my own and found a hang glider and was able to take it for a flight and navigated back to the group. This was a very different virtual trip truly just exploring and sharing. It was unfortunate that the sound was not working which gave rise to communication issues. Like in real life folks were keen to get together to take selfies this I did find a bit odd not knowing how to face but thought it was fun especially as it was spontaneous and we had a big group show up. It seems that second life is a success for Sunday nights.
I was a bit exhausted having traveled to Marlboro to present on Friday and class on Saturday the long drives take away from school work. For this extra meetup it serves the class well and at the same time was a leisurely way to relax, learn and virtually get together with classmates.
Hi Bill,
ReplyDeleteYour blog continues to be a good reflection of all the activities you have done is virtual worlds. It is good to see the group was able to get together to visit on your own agenda and time. I believe you are enjoying this course? Mike B.
