[IDT] Final Reflection
Since the program started I have learned a lot of things and made new friends from Chicago. I have become more knowledgeable about fossils and the process that is involved in retrieving them. I also gained a unique insight into how scientists actually work in the field. Besides observing the scientists and their work, we also did our own dig in Second Life. Throughout the various activities in Second Life I learned the different extinction eras and the various unique species in each ad learned how they adapt to their environment in order to survive. Once we found the fossils we assembled them and identified which species it is. During the activities I learned a lot more about the features that Second Life offers and got a better handle on how to interact, create and assemble in Second Life. The thing I’m most proud of learning is being able to see actual scientists and follow their work. We even had a group session where we got to ask questions to the scientists. Thanks for the program I gained a new perspective on the world.
