Sorry for the late notice, but I’m bravely fighting off the plague and would rather not share said plague with you. So, class is cancelled today. We’ll meet again on Tuesday.
I’ve updated the Course Calendar to reflect this. You’ll see that we’ll continue our discussion of The PowerBook on Tuesday, November 10th, so bring your ethos, logos and pathos examples (2 of each) with you to Tuesday’s class.
This weekend you have the following assignment: Spend at least 45 minutes in Second Life this weekend. Your mission:
- Develop an avatar you like.
- Find 5 places in Second Life you think are interesting. Add them to your “picks” tab on your profile.
- Create a second, different look for your avatar. This second look should be noticeably different. Use your inventory system to create a folder for each look. When you’re finished, you should be able to drag the folder from your inventory onto your avatar to change your avatar’s appearance all at once.
If you don’t have a computer of your own on which to run Second Life, and you can’t beg, borrow or steal a friend, roommate or family member’s computer this weekend, Professor Nancy Welch has open office hours in A206 on Thursdays from 5:30-6:45pm. Feel free to use the lab then. Just tell her that I sent you.
I hope you’re all feeling better than I am, and that you have a great weekend.
See you Tuesday.
