PERSONAL REFLECTIONS The workshop was pitched at what I would describe as intermediate level (as I advertised in my wiki page and in-world attachment) and required a set of building and manipulation skills that need practice. Scaffolding activities were one pathway to success, yet this created a quite tension between the rigidity of the format and the ability to be flexible to the teaching situation as it was. Having a small practical exercise before the main event is one valuable suggestion for both teacher and participants but… it is not enough. My pre-workshop testing with a friend was in effect a scaffolding exercise for me but it couldn’t avoid the real difficulty as a teacher to have an unknown group of participants. You can have planned the best tools, written complete instructions, managed technical aspects but remember…. Misy Ferraris
PERSONAL REFLECTIONS … YOU CANNOT MANAGE PEOPLE AS WELL AS OBJECTS! We’re unpredictable, so different even if when we think to have the same skills and ability and …this make a difference among all our experiences. But after living, socializing, learning, researching, experimenting and teaching in SL for about 2 years I can tell you this was another challenging and unique experience!
