What i like about the virtual experience is that i was able to make friends with people from abroad easily, it’s something that i would not be able to do unless that person were to be in singapore.In this activity i was able to make friends with a guy from hong kong named jianheng wu who is currently taking the e-commerce course in a hong kong poly-u. In second life his avatar name is matchless spot. Although he was from hong kong it was easy for me to communicate with him as i do not need to observe special mannerisms,behaviours or ethics. This is probably because everyone in the virtual experience everyone are treated as ‘normal citizens’ in second life and therefore everyone are ‘equal’. From this e-learning experience i have learned second life is a source is a social network where we are able to gather useful informations from people abroad and not only that it helps to broaden our social network by helping us making friends from overseas. For me the most challenging experience in the second life was to find a user from hong kong. It took me like 10 minutes to just find one. Other than that i also had trouble moving around as the programme is a bit laggy. That’s all for my post today, till next time . bb :D
