Global Kids' Online Leadership Program

If I were to describe this experience I would definitely say that it was filled with a lot of change. When I first came to this workshop I didn't know anything at all about Second Life. As time began to progress my skills slowly began to develop. I'll be very honest, It was confusing and challenging at first but then I got the hang of it. I think practice was the key to my success. Things began to be smoother. I learned many things from changing the appearance of my character to taking pictures. I would find all of these skills helpful, if I were to become a graphic designer or a person who makes video games. However, I doubt that this will be my field. My favorite part was when we went swimming, although i didn't catch any fish but I still had fun. Learning in SL was very strange. I never experienced that before. I feel that learning in SL is exciting and you learn in a fun way. However, the cons is that you can get very distracted. Also, if your lost it's hard to get back on track. Well, three things that I learned from Paleontology was that when people find fossils they must wrap the fossil with toilet paper and place it into a Pringle container. I thought this was very strange but apparently this helps preserve the fossil. I also learned that scientists have to stay a long time digging and searching for fossils. I was shocked to hear that Scientists have to study a lot in order to obtain their job. This experience was UNFORGETTABLE !!!! I'm very happy to have been able to participate in this workshop!!
