[18:16] Brooke Yven: Did you begin this because of your career?
[18:17] B. C.: yes and no lol...i've been working in SL for nearly 3 years now and it was on my own time. But I felt that eventually my RL job would catch up to emergent technology and it has
[18:17] B. C.: so now I am teaching workshops at my RL job about SL and can then report on it

[18:23] Brooke Yven: I wondered this would happen in SL only...
[18:24] Brooke Yven: You're the first one who gives a certain answer to this question.

Group Project report on 06/15

We were totally frustrated last week. It seemed whatever topic we chose, it would be ended up in vain at the last step. None of the interviewees replied our questionnaire by Wednesday last week. It was the second time we met this situation. We found no people to receive our interview. We had thought the situation would become better since the places we visited this time were famous and the members there were insured by teacher that they were kind people. However, they ended up helping us at the last moment. They suddenly disappeared after receiving our questionnaire. This result was according to the connecter of our group, Alina. Speak frankly, after encountering these failures, I really wanted to quit doing this project for I had not been so interested in it at the beginning. And staying on Second Life (SL) really made me sick. I got dizzy within 30 minutes whenever I got on-line recently.

Well, but we still worked hard on it in order to fulfill the final project. Although I invested no dream in it, being a student, it is my duty to complete every project and assignment I am responsible for. Maybe god has witnessed our hard-working, thing has become better after we changed our project topic. We decided to survey the CNN iReporters on SL. There were plenty of interviewees for us to ask for an interview so we were more confident this time to find our interviewees. We sent invitations to at least 10 CNN iReporters each one and waited for their responds. So far we have received 5 replies by June 14. During these interviews, I found some of the iReporters have their purpose in reporting their news on CNN iReport. And I have the same emotion with them. Finding people who have the same dream as me makes me feel better when doing this project. The following are the pictures I took with my interviewees.

Group Project report on 06/03

2009.06.03
Our homework was to formulate our questionnaire and we have successfully done this by today. We have decided to divide into two groups, owners and students, to make the interview from two different aspects to observe the English teaching in Second Life (SL).

However, the process of searching for the other place to make our interview was not so smoothly as making these questionnaires. I had tried to find four possible places on Internet and search them in SL but in vain. Two of them were not built in SL; one were none members for me to make an interview to, there the avatars were like Non-Player-Computers (NPCs), whatever I asked them would receive no reply; the other one is the same one I found last time, where it was not able to teleport to. What was even worse, Lin replied me that she was going to give up interviewing “ESL”! She told me she had received rude treatments from the owner of “ESL” and decided to quit it for him having no willing to receive our interview. Well, it seemed our research had come to a dead end. There was no answer from “English Town”, either. I began thinking about changing the topic from “English teaching” into “how English teaching is known by everyone in Second Life” because the English teaching centers were empty or hard to find. I remembered there was only one interviewee knowing SL be a teaching material during my last interview.Luckily, after meeting with teacher today, we have got great support. Teacher listened to our dilemma and gives us some new places, “EduNation” and “Secondlife English”, to pay a visit to. These are places where foreign professors getting together and exchange their teaching experiences in SL. We believe this time the chances would be bigger to find new interviewees for us. If we can find a professor, he/she would probably give us a chance to visit his/her class.

Group Project Discusion on 05/27

2009.05.27
Having no patience in children, I had considered myself not suitable for being a teacher. So I was not so interested in making a research of English teaching at first.
But it was better doing something than idle. Therefore, when Lin suggested adopt this topic, I made no objection.

Had learned from teacher and former interviewers, I knew there were people using Second Life (SL) as teaching material indeed and I wondered there must be many chances to meet. However, there were only a few places found according to key words like “English”, “English teaching”, “ESL” and “second language” and some of them were even not able to be teleported to. It was out of my surprise that we came to our first difficulty so quick. Until meeting with teacher in SL today, we had found only 2 places, “English Town” and “ESL”. I mentioned the former and Lin gave the latter.

“English Town” is actually a solid company, which is named “EF”, in real world (RL). It is responsible for most abroad studies in England. In my opinion, to find it is really lucky because it is a big and famous company and the equipment and environment it provides in SL are really nice. But the fact knocks me down again because I cannot find anyone there to make an interview to. The last way I have is to send an instant message (IM) to the owner to ask and wait for a chance to interview him/her.

“ESL” was found by Lin due to her friend, who had once taught in “ESL”. And we are lucky enough to have her willing to give us a class if we need. But after we visited “ESL”, there is the same problem with “English Town”. We can find no one there, either. Guessing we came at the wrong time, so we also send an IM to the owner by everyone to ask for an interview chance.During the time to wait for their responses, we are going to find the other place to visit and to make our interview. Because I have to stay home, where the computer isn’t good enough to get on SL, during the following weekend, I will search for possibilities on Internet.
