Summer Is Here!
Well, summer is here and school is over. Time to catch up on all of those projects. Also, time to learn about new technology. The one I am most interested to know more about is Moodle. I barely know anything about it. A year ago, I knew nothing about wiki's, and now I have my own wiki. So, I guess it is time to learn about Moodle's. For me, connecting with my students is where it is at. It seems like Moodle's do just that.

Starting Out
Ok, this is really a great opportunity to connect with other Computer Using Educators. Who would have thought that the wave of the future would be blogs and wikis, two words that did not exist until recently? I remember the days of Apple 2e's and MAC Plus with an external hard drive and the VAX mainframe that took up the size of a bedroom. I remember trying to decide whether or not to order a 4 MB memory upgrade or to be aggressive and order the 8 MB memory. Now I can carry around a Gigabyte fla… Continue

You can also teleport by double clicking on any landmark in your inventory. I find this to be helpful because you can create folders to organize your landmarks (and other inventory).
You create a landmark by pulling down on the World menu and Create a Landmark here. A window pops up describing the new landmark. The landmark is stored in your inventory and will show up on your map list.
There are several ways to "discover" new sims. First, you might meet someone who is willing to go ahead to a sim to show you around. In this case, he will teleport you after he gets there. Be sure to create a landmark before you leave where you are if you might want to find again. Or the other person might just give you a landmark and send you off on your own.
Another way to explore is to use Second Life's search feature. Popular places have their own tab in the search engine, but only a few sims are listed as popular. Search under places for more exhaustive lists. One way to explore is to go on a quest. Search for something that interests you. Maybe you are interested in music. A search for musical instruments will bring up lots of interesting stores and clubs to visit.
Another way to discover is to read the favorites on other avatars' profiles. You may discover something that is a common interest so you get a landmark and a potential friend.
I hope this helps.
