However I am wondering if you are like me. In normal Skype conversation you would talk for awhile then say time to go whereas in SL you seem to stay talking longer? Kevin While I joke about having the right voice - I am not sure it is a good thing to be able to alter it. Surely then we would not be representing our true self? Jane Yes there is something about SL that makes you want to go back in to have conversations. Sarah The thought of midwife scenarios is so cool - now that is an application in SL that I can see real education value. Did you want me to organise a tour guide? Judy Am happy to include you in the experience group because you are doing some great building. Your area is looking really good. Hope you like your new makeover? What does your husband think now? Think I may have corrupted you? Alex Thanks for your feedback on my posts on SL and obviously thanks for introducing me to SL. My hubby may now be sending you the bill for my addiction. (Note he also says I look like a hooker). Darren So good to know that I may be overtaking some of the more experienced like you in SL. Still pondering educational uses but Sarah's midwife scenario really grabs me so I am hoping I can help her out. Kate When you are ready I will take you to a quiet place and help you with your appearance. Just let me know time and place. Alex All is cool about life balance -- you have to have some (yes I know so you should Sue Waters). Definitely cheeky in SL. Gary

It's hard to think about educational content at first, you need to immerse yourself in something and really get to know the environment first. You seem a lot like me, in that you totally engage in something and are full-on about with it as you learn it. Your new look is tops! Trouble is, I find, the cheekier your look is, the cheekier you seem to get in both Second and real life! Also, sorry I haven’t spent much time with you in Second Life. I’ve had to spend some more time in real Life as I lost my balance! ;) See you in-world soon. Alex Hi Sue,

I'm too scared to change my appearance as I don't want to end up naked somewhere where I shouldn't be! I found SL a bit isolating at first, I really do agree that you need friends to help you around and show you places to hang out. Hi Sue,

It's about time you've finally joined the 21st Century and spent a little time in SL. That said, I think you may have passed me by with your new "skins". I'm stuck with my native skin, but I have actually created things (a shirt and a box to distribute shirts). Pretty fun stuff, and very easy to become immersed. Now, what are your educational uses for SL? Sue Second Life Waters-

It's a great space despite the fact that it's struggling to go open source etc. I really am taken with the immersive and "real" experiences of meeting others in there. I must admit it's still a bit odd for me but I find that it's closer to a dream state than a web state and that excites me. I love being immersed in spaces that take me out of body and into a spiritual domain, where I can laugh and be happy and content. It's great to hear your enjoying it all. Thanks for your enthusiastic and realistic assay of what it means to be trying out where the web is headed :-) Hi Sue,

I happen to be a newbie too and certainly don't fit with the illustrious company that you listed me with. PLUS you have a sexy new look with the help of JoKay. Now come on - that's not fair....where's my new look? On a serious note though, fun is where all learning should start - and I love hearing you laugh as you learn! But it will be as interesting a journey to discover the full potential - just like it was with the WWW. Look how far we have come, and now think about how far we will go. Wow!

I would be interested in using it to work through midwifery scenarios eg what the student would do in the case of a hemorrhage. I'm waiting for Leigh to show us SL-am too scared to go there by myself!! Love the new look, Sue!
