We had another guest tour guide this week in Second life named Poem. There were a few challenges with audio but we were able to visit new worlds. I tour guide was in real life from Uruguay and a Spanish speaker who could also Speak Portuguese. She showed us around Edunation and provided views of what appeared like and aviary and a tour under water.
There was scuba gear you could access to swim with the fish but we were all able to access and view the scenes without any concern for running out of air.
It was an opportunity to see how this world could be used to virtually visit other places and practice different languages. Poem noted that she had worked at the United Nations as an interpreter this is a very challenging profession.
An important thing we learned was to become friends so you can share things like landmarks and invite others to join you at different locations. This required some planning or you would lose your tour group members or the guide. Ultimately we were treated to Holodecks where we saw very different virtual worlds providing a new level of virtual worlds. I liked the aquarium as it reminded me of Hawaii.
