Class 7, Assignment 2: Twitter Group Messages

I could not join our group messages because I had other appointments. Therefore, I asked one of my friends who took this class last year. I asked about how it went through Twitter messages. 

She told me that she did not get a reply from companies. Twitter messages was very helpful in social networking with others.

FINAL PROJECT STEP 2: BUILDING MY IMMERSIVE LEARNING SPACE.









 In this project, I invented 4 different 3D Objects on Minecraft. I do not play games and this was my first time playing Minecraft therefore the objects I built was little rough but I did my best to build these objects.




The first object was movie theater. I built the surroundings. 

I built chairs around it, sides, and front. 


This is how it looks like in front. 

the other part of the movie theater side.


In this screenshot, I built a flower garden. 

I built fence around and all different kinds of flowers. 

In this screenshot, it is a battleship. 

It is a front of my battleship. I tried to make it look bigger and scarier. 

In this screenshot, it is a unique looking Jungle Jim for kids. 

I used many different kinds of materials to make a intriguing Jungle Gym.

FINAL PROJECT STEP 1: IMMERSIVE LEARNING SPACES.

This is an article about Immersive Education Libraries and Museums Technology Working Group (LAM.TWG) charter, which is available through the Journal of Immersive Education (JiED) at http://JiED.org.
 It talks about how to create Immersive Education Library and museum using Virtual world. There are lots of advantages for Virtual library and museum. Firstly, virtual library can keep up with the fast phase of continually changing sources. Secondly, the physical buildings and timely constraints can be solved.
With more discoveries and deeper understandings, people could easily update and share the informations with people in Virtual library. People could obtain full and deeper knowledge about stuff. Especially for students, they do not have to physically go to the zoo to learn about animals. They don't have to pay for the field trip to learn. Money should not be a problem for children's education. This virtual library and museum helps to solve this problem. 

These are the pictures of different cases. A person from United states and another person from Japan can meet in virtual classroom, visit the virtual library, learn about specific topics, or collaborately work together. For a more productive way of learning, collaborative education in virtual learning setting is offered. It is very difficult for one to learn about new stuff for self interest. The better way is to meet with others in virtual world and collaborate work. There is no time or place constraints. A virtual learning space definitely eliminate the stress for collaboration work. 

I really like the idea of Immersive Learning space. More hands make light work and bring greater ideas. There are enough information available in Internet. It is time for collaborative creative thinking. People all over the world should share their ideas, knowledge for the future.

I asked people in chat for good collaboration but many people were not serious enough to tell me. 
so I visited different places to find out by myself. 
These are the screenshots from in front of the hotel. 



These are the screenshots of me in london street. 







                                          These are screenshots of me changing avatars.

Class 7, Minecraft: Interface Fundamentals

In this screenshot, I am downloading minecraft on my mac.

I started to watch video tutorials. 

In this screenshot, I am watching the tutorials. 

In this screenshot, I tried to do as tutorial told to do. 

In this screenshot, I am in the process of working on minecraft.

In this screenshot, I am watching another tutorials.

In this screenshot, because of loud sound of minecraft, I changed settings. 

In this screenshot, I am watching another tutorial. 


Honestly, I have never played game since 6. Therefore, I had no idea what is going on with all these wooden blocks, axes, and all those items. I will figure out as I explore more but I think it will take a greater time for me to figure it out. I realized how terrible I am with these games and controllers.
