Meeting on 19 June 2012

The last meeting before the summer vacation (19 June 2012)

Cellina, Florence, Adrianna, Amanda, and I attended Today's meeting. We shared our perception on Second Life and discussed the use of Second Life in primary (elementary) schools. 

We discussed why Korean people do not use Second Life a lot and compared EBS lectures with our Second Life activities: "the reason for not many are using this program maybe

when we say we are having a distant meetings or classes like this

most Koreans think of lectures I guess?"

We also discussed whether Second Life is good for English education: "Student don't mind about there error in using english in virtual world."

Have a nice vacation and see you on 24th / 27th July!!

Meeting on 8 June 2012

Today's meeting is cancelled as the Korean student teachers had to attend a school event and no Singaporean student teachers came :(

However, Liz appeared as a child avatar, and she looks totally cute!
Here is the picture of her...

hehehe!
Have a great weekend ahead and hope to see you all next week :D

One Hour's Group Meeting - 5 June 2012

Cellina, Hajiyoung, Hsiao-yun, and I participated in today's meeting in our SL house. We introduced each other, discussed what avatars mean to us, decided our group name, and shared ideas about furniture in our group room.

We had much different ideas about our avatars :) Cellina did not think that her avatar represents herself, but Hsiao-yun wanted to make her avatar more similar to herself. I want to make an ideal avatar (younger and handsome), and Hajiyoung felt to be more confident in interacting with other avatars after changing her avatar's outfit.

We also decided our group's name. It is ONE HOUR. The time zone of Korea is one hour faster than that of Singapore!!

Amanda, we want some furniture in our room: a sofa, a coffee table, TV, and a picture of Kaka or Big-Bang. Hajiyoung likes Kaka (a soccer player) :D  We agreed to rotate pictures.
Cheers!!

Meeting on 1 June 2012

Hello!
I just exited from SL after the scheduled meeting today :) Many people came today and I thought it was a fun and fulfilling session.

We did an introduction session today, whereby everyone introduced themselves :) I managed to know other members better as we shared about out hobbies, where we are studying and many more other than just our names.

BTW, this meeting is held in our new house, and the new sofas in the living room is big enough for everyone to have a seat. All avatars can now have a sit around the table :D

In today's session, below are some new information I have received from everyone's introduction:

•  Liz loves to travel and she has been to Taiwan!
• Anna has joined a dance club in GINUE recently ^^
• Florence revealed that Lucy (ebkim), Anna and herself are in the same room accessing Second Life during the meeting :) I guess other than being classmates, they must be really good friends with each other :)
• Helen has the hobby of collecting passport stamps (she will travel at least once a year) and postage stamps :D
• YoungSeok who appears as a robot in SL participates in CrossFit in real life, which is a form of bodybuilding that consists of many exercises!
• ebkim (Lucy) has experience in teaching elementary school children in English speaking ;)
• KB is interested in foreign languages and cultures :)
• Young (who is a Korean working in Singapore) will visit Korea in October this year and have plans to meet up with Korean members in our SL group with Helen :D

Hope to see all of you the next meeting!
