It was wonderful to finally get the chance to see Cica Ghost's brain in action. So much heart and soul go into each exhibit and unique change.
We have been to the last 3 exhibits and this one was our favorite! The textures, like crocheted love coated the sea floor and continued to portions of the friends you will find throughout the sim.
We danced, balanced and touched EVERYTHING we could.

Had to be people I hated
Had to be no one at all

There's a vision in the sands
Rising from the ancient past
Crying let my spirit go
Lead my burning soul to rest
Hear the sound of distant ages
It's the call of the seventh star..,

Our students Chantelle and Nisreen at the Master of Arts in Digital Technologies for Language Teaching collaboratively reflect on their experience on doing activities on an online Virtual World. Read their thoughts:
When we entered Small worlds, we had a lot of questions about its nature and application as an educational tool in language classrooms. In the beginning we were confused with the so many avatars appearing and disappearing, and then we got engaged creating our own avatars. Our 3D lifelike avatars were reflecting our own identities, their looks, style; even the nicknames were very similar to us in real world.
During the session, we were thinking about our students all the time, about the affordances and shortcomings of Small Worlds. We started realizing how the anonymity related to avatars could really help reluctant students to reduce their language related anxiety. Although there is no opportunity for expressing emotions and reactions properly, yet there is some sense of real immersion and tempting engagement in these worlds. Moreover, Small Worlds can be effective in creating a community of people sharing ideas collaboratively. As for us as students in Small Worlds, we were relaxed, happy, and most importantly did not feel the time. It was so real and engaging!

The description says "a dark RP sim" and that is certainly the feeling that one gets: Dark! It is really quite eerie, and as such it is hugely successful in having fulfilled its design brief: The sense of desolation that gets conveyed is really quite remarkable.
It really is one of the most atmospheric places that I have seen in Second Life.

"Visuland is a virtual world with real voice communication, YouTube
video canvas, games and presentation tools. You can meet with people,
talk with them while showing a video, or your photo gallery or keep a
power point presentation. You can even learn languages by talking
people of the choosen language with real voice in a virtual pub."
Sounds wonderful, doesn't? Gorgeous virtual world, web browser-based,
suitable for social or professional meetings. Hmmmm. Next piece - what
is the tech like?
"Beside the rich functionality (real voice chat, showing videos,
photos, presentation tools, games) there is no need of long
downloading, installation or registration. Just a click to "Run", and
in a few seconds You're there to talk, play games and make friends."
Sounds great, so I try it out. Register. It insists on my gender. OK,
fine, be that way. I'm used to Second Life where I can be anything.
Then I do what they say, click to run, choose a location, and away I
go! Right? Wrong.
Requires Firefox extension.
My computer and Firefox have a ..., well, let's call it a cautious
truce most of the time. Installing extensions is like crossing the
neutral zone. Not pretty. It still sounds really really interesting,
so how about YOU check it out and tell me what you think!
