<br />
When you get a chance, insert week 8's post.<br />
<br />
We are about to move into unity, what lessons have you learned from making your 360 video? What does SL offer that 360 video cannot do? What does 360 video do that SL cannot?

Sorry this is late. We've made our qualitative questions and we're well on our way to building our project!<br />
<br />
SecondLife has the potential to bring people together across different nations. However, that potentially utopic impulse is subverted by the ways in which people are meant to fend for themselves. As you have reported, people aren't always welcoming. <br />
<br />
What are some strategies that you would employ to make SecondLife feel more communal?<br />
What will you do with your personal projects to make them more accessible?Saradahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12869931693379788401noreply@blogger.com26tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343455574439486489.post-55781067387801780622018-10-18T09:38:00.003-07:002018-12-06T04:05:55.573-08:00Week 6 (October 19 + 23)OMG look at us being content creators!<br />
<br />
As we continue to create our content, what are strategies that can use to build worlds? To make those worlds more accessible? More equitable?<br />
Does Second Life succeed at this? How does is or doesn't it?<br />
In the worlds that you are building, how can you apply the lessons that you are learning by reflecting on SecondLife?Saradahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12869931693379788401noreply@blogger.com22tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343455574439486489.post-77004023259862454292018-10-13T05:39:00.001-07:002018-12-06T04:05:13.002-08:00Week 5 (October 11 + 16)Hi all,<br />
<br />
I hope this week is treating you well.<br />
<br />
You can post this week's blog post here!<br />
<br />
While you reflect on this week, think about this:<br />
How does information (news, rules, alerts, etc...) travel throughout Second Life? Is it centralized? Who shares it? Who is the intended/unintended audience? What is the power of media vs word of mouth in Second Life?Saradahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12869931693379788401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343455574439486489.post-77001413858074282018-10-05T10:46:00.001-07:002018-12-06T04:05:01.508-08:00Week 4 (October 4 + 9)OMG everyone, we are 4 weeks in.<br />
<br />
And yet there is so much left to do/learn!<br />
<br />
For this weeks blog post: Think about the ways that SecondLife interacts with certain bodies. Whose bodies are privileged. Whose bodies are allowed to enter this world? Be represented by this world? Are there any contradictions? Do you fit in the world? Does it let you fit?Saradahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12869931693379788401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343455574439486489.post-90048586484514633292018-10-02T08:43:00.001-07:002018-10-23T09:23:04.195-07:00Sculpture Center Trip (September 27)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It's been another week working on this fantastic project, and we're well on our way.<br />
<br />
On the technical side, we learned how to create and edit 360 video in Premiere.<br />
<br />
We also made our very own analog perceptual shifting devices. They were so cool!<br />
<br />
Oh, and we went to the <a href="https://lagccimmersive.blogspot.com/2018/10/week-3-bonus.html">Sculpture Center</a>!<br />
<br />
Finally, we used SecondLife as a tool to think through the following questions:<br />
-Has your opinion of the rules of SecondLife changed?<br />
-How do these rules mirror (or not) the rules of the world we live in (law, physics, social norms, etc)?<br />
<br />
Follow the links above to see how each participant engaged these questionsSaradahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12869931693379788401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343455574439486489.post-30931411291383356862018-09-26T06:36:00.000-07:002018-10-23T09:16:41.961-07:00Week 2 (September 20 + 25)Welcome back to our little blog.<br />
<br />
This week we learned about the history of Immersive Media. Attempts to create alternative worlds aren't new, but as the tools that we have change, so to do our imaginations of alternatives.<br />
