June 17, 200521 yr Activeworlds? I went to the website... seems interesting. So is it a RS like thing where you build stuff and walk around talking to people?
June 17, 200521 yr I didn't read all of that, don't have much time, but I'm assuming your teaching things involving brains + Computers? Man it's frustrating teaching computer-illiterate people how to do things on the computer. I mean, some of my dumb friends ask how/where to download the file when you send them links like http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/. I especially find it annoying when my friends have high-quality computers and every folder in the C:\ drive have the blue screen indicating the files are hidden on them, even after months of having the computer, and when they don't want to install games/programs they bought from the store onto the computer, because they say it has virus', despite the fact that they have Ares or Kazaa, ignorant of all the bad files on there, they feel protected because the programs claim to be spyware/virus free. I'm done.
June 17, 200521 yr Activeworlds? I went to the website... seems interesting. So is it a RS like thing where you build stuff and walk around talking to people? I'm thinking about getting a second life account (no real estate ;) ) sometime in a few years (if it's still around -.- ) to try and see if it could be used for a bit of profit... It seems sort of like this activeworlds, correct me if I'm wrong I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.
June 17, 200521 yr Oh, I thought you meant an actual teacher, as in someone that teaches a subject of actual importance.
June 17, 200521 yr Oh, I thought you meant an actual teacher, as in someone that teaches a subject of actual importance. I thought you mean't that as well. And as some of my friends are going to teacher training college, I thought I'd check it out :oops: Goals to get my skills back up to a barely respectable level on the high scores: Currently going for Bone to Peaches spell. It's amazing how boring doing the same repetitive task is! Stupid MTA
June 17, 200521 yr Oh, I thought you meant an actual teacher, as in someone that teaches a subject of actual importance. what he said.
June 17, 200521 yr Author Activeworlds? I went to the website... seems interesting.

It seems sort of like this activeworlds, correct me if I'm wrong second life is a lot more expensive than AW, you need a good internet connection. SL also requires you to know a lot of programming language, and you better be good at vector 3d-modeling. AW is a lot easier for me. ********** One of the old guard of RS.

June 18, 200521 yr I hope I wasn't expected to read that entire chat log? Cliffs? Noobs ask for help SHIPPOU helps out Noobs are totally 'wtf' SHIPPOU helps out a bit more Noobs seem to get the basics SHIPPOU leaves
June 18, 200521 yr The important thing is that Shippou has a TV. He sneaks it in right at the end, you might miss it on first skim through. And by that I mean "I have a tv" are the only words I saw while holding page down to get through all that text.
June 18, 200521 yr Author I bet if I used the title "look at this stupid newby" every one would have read the log? and tvs are an object. if you know the right website, you can actually watch television. ********** One of the old guard of RS.
