my (bank)

this is my falling bank vault!@$%

The engine of the Beast

This is the (second revised motor) of my moving vehicle!!!

moving ball

duuuuuuuuuuuuude this thing is realy realy cool. i look like the avitar from the show like i am controlling a little ball of wind. its realy cool

Magic

I just made my first magic wand. If you say something to it stuffs comes out. If I say some thing to it spider man comes out.

My magic wand

This is my magic wand!!Go near it on second life see what happends!!!

Moving box ,tightness!!

This is my moving Box!!! Pretty cool eh?!it will move eny where!!

Racing Object

This is me standing right next to my object. It is an racing object, that can move south,north,east, and west.

This is picture of me sitting down on top of my creation. My creation is a moving object (which you can consider as my hand made car) !!!All you have to do is write the scripts and say up, north, east, south, east, or what ever direction that you want and a number and you will move!!!!

My second life experience

My first second life experience was wonderful. I enjoy to literally be able to have a (second life) at my finger tips. Not to mention Ed our wonderful second life (professor) to help us build/script on second life!!! here is my exploder

(Pictures coming soon!!!)

the ball of explosion

i made that sunset sphere it was hard to catch but i finally got it

HI IAM CHESTNUT . I BEEN PLAYING WITH MY STAFF ALLL DAY I ALSO MADE A NEW THING CALLED THE RIDER HERE TAKE A LOOK.

Second life has been so fun. The assignments are fun ,the shooting is fun ,and the clothes are cool. The things are like real life things{and its really cool!!!!!!!!!!}

flying couch of wonders

my flying couch now i dont need to get up now im lazzy hahahahahah

Comanded Flieing Sausage

Today at Edboost we made objects that we can ride and the move by comands that you tell them, after you script the comand into them. I made a flieing sausage.

My Parrot

This is my second post! It is about how I can make a parrot talk/repeat what other people say with out any body knowing who wrote the messege. It is very cool! AND.......you can talk on different channels so that it is secret and it is any number!!!!! I AM NOT TELLING YOU MY SECRET CODE!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT FOR CLASS TODAY

This is an ordinary box that I magically created. It is really cool!!! It can move up and down. It also can talk back to you in a very rude way!!!! For example, if you were to say hello, it would say "what do you mean hello?" This Second Life is tight and I never thought that I would be blogging and posting. EdBoost made it fun, especially with all of the nice children who go there!!!

Sincerely,

Allison Argus

second life

I CANT WAT UNTIL CLASS IT GONNA BE FUN

heres the pic of the explosion.....

The Real Exploder

Yeah I forgot the pic so here it is....

Exploder.

This is the exploder I made its really cool

moving

Today at edboost we did an scripting assingment on how to move an object at any angle just by telling it to.

Second Life pic.

WHAT I WAS DOING IS CREATING A ANOTHER OBJECT . MINE IS THE GREEN ONE. IT HAS CREATED A NOTHER OBJECT.THAT SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!LATERS!!!!!

Rezzing

I had been a little frustrated that the kids had so many pre-made objects in their inventories: they were so busy playing, it was hard to get them to program. But, in the last class, the kids learned how to rez objects and when Sin created an R2D2 and had it rez a light saber, it made me see the fun in these pre-made objects as well.

Today, I also overhead Sin say, "This is the only part of my life when I can afford to have stuff!" So, there's something pretty cool to that too...

Should be more posts coming soon -- we also have several new students who are quickly catching up.

As for my programming: today, I figured out how to rez several objects in several differnet locations! I'm kind of excited. I'm begining to understand the scripting lingo and how vectors work. So, the photo above is my "Dancing Donut" box. When someone says "dancers" the troupe of multi-flavored (color changing script -- they're blueberry and strawberry in the pic), moving (moving objects with vectors script) donuts, appear above the box (rezzing script). When someone says "exit," the dancing donuts disappear in a cloud of flames (exploding script). There are still some glitches to work out, but I'm having fun with them. :)

R2

my object is an R2-D2 that i made it pops out a pink light saber from its head <:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<:<::<:<:<:<:<:

Tursday the 8th of Febuary at edboost we learned how to script exploding things and built all of our own unieck objects that explode.It was so cool!

Color changes, movement, and explosions!

When we first started, Hector was having students copy and paste programs from his blog... they got the joy of making their objects "do stuff" but they weren't thinking about the programs very hard. It was also sort of a free-for-all.... RL Hector competing with the computers for the students' attention.

So, the past two weeks, we'ved tried a new tactic. RL Hector comes with pre-printed lessons and sits down the with students AWAY from the computers to explain what they'll be learning.

He's also having the kids type the programs themselves. It's wonderful.. they're getting a sense of how detail-oriented programming is (and we love how, when a program won't save, the compiler tells us where the error is! -- this is SO great for teaching!). Typing out the programs has also helped the kids to start to think about what makes the programs work. They realize that when they forget the "llListen" command, their objects won't listen to their commands. They're learning that if they don't set the "startPosition" their objects don't move properly.

Last week Tiana asked to learn how to make objects come on command. The boys wanted to make things explode. Hector taught them both programs today. He also finally got them to learn how to talk on private channels.

Hector has tried to teach them how to talk on private channels before, but they were not terribly interested. However, once Chestnut realized that he could plant explosives all over and SHOUT "explode" to make them pop all over our parcel, he started shouting a lot. Suddenly Sin started to get frustrated because Chestnut kept exploding Sin's explodable objects WHILE he was trying to script them. Sin quickly learned how to chat on a private channel. It was our first experience of the interactive aspect of SL pushing the kids to better programming.

I've made multi-flavored donuts and I'm trying to teach them to dance.... hopefully I'll have a photo tomorrow to post up here.

Building

Today I built a new house on Second Life. Here it is...

like a gunner

hi my name is corey . i been playing with my friends we have fun. i made a lot of stuff. i made a house ,a boat a garge and other cool stuff. i also have a sercet base, under water. i REALLY WANT TO KNOW HOW TO SRIPT REALLY GOOD.

Second life is so cool, i have learned alot of new cool stuff. I really plan to learn alot more and im so excited to that im going to be able to know how to do all these cool things.

SECOND LIFE ROCKS

MY SECOND LIFE EXPERIENCE

I have had many fun, interesting, and useful times on Edboost Island, in Second Life with my friends. My times on second life have been interesting because I have learned about and how to do things that I didn't even know were posible. The times are also useful because I have learned computer skills that I will use for the rest of my life. Last but not least, the most thing I've had is fun building things, learning, and playing with my friends.

Second Life is fun

i want two make new things tomarrow and last week was fun we did boxes that talk two us min esaid this is anthony box Hello master i enjoyed it............................By

Learnig

What I want to learn next is how to make new clothes. Im going to ask ed how to do it. I made a box. If you click on it says this is Alexis box she is my master.

Secrets

A secret on edboost is land a secret base in the island but I cant tell you zip if u find it ill give you a special prize that I made

Starting again... sort of

We've had a lot of changes since Winter Break.

Hargall -- our most advanced student -- moved and although he visits us in-world, he's not around to help the other kids in real life.

Several students (including Bree Mapp and Anthony Hawkeye who left the previous posts) have just joined. We've had six-eight students over the last two weeks, most of them more or less beginners.

We've also had company on the island: a 3-D Gaming group. Some were not especially friendly, but others were great and gave our students lots of structures.

Our bit of the island now looks like urban sprawl to the millionth power (or, like I imagine The Raft in Snow Crash looked) with buildings running into one another and tiny passages in and out.

Hector and I have started over, with assignment one. Trying to teach the new students the ropes, while Sin and Chestnut do some work on their own projects.

Hector's newest ideas are to give the students some kind of merit badge (or maybe more akin to belts in martial arts) for accomplishing programming tasks. I'm excited to start that. I'll post some pictures when we get that organized. But the kids won't be able to pass levels until they post their accomplishments here on the blog, so stay tuned for more frequent postings from us!

Second Life

Hello second life is very fun and you get to create things and even talk to people. You can have objects talk to you. There is cars, boats, and other cool things. I made a box today that talk to me it said Hi Anthony Box. Last week i made a swiming pool and everone like it. Thats why i like second life. Bye.............................................

Secon Life

Hello I just created an object that speaks to me. When anybody touches it. It says "Hello this is alexis box." The thing im goin to do next is make a rainbow object. I think second life is good because it helps your mind work and you have to remember the things. Theres alot of things like cars,boats swimming pools, couches, and other things.
