Second Life Elven Institute Workshop for K-12 Educators on Building Sat. 2/2 8 to 10 am PST

Ever wonder how to build your own objects or modify those you have?

Join the ELVEN Institute as we look at the basics of building. This workshop will show how to create a simple object, modify it, take it back into your inventory, and then make more copies of it in the world.  As a concrete focus, we will each build a couch, which will be a single prim: a tinted, translucent, textured, profile-cut torus.

The text chat based instruction will be supplemented by a series of in-world dynamic exhibits that show the user interface methods required to perform each step of couch building.  The intention will be for people to observe the simulations, and then duplicate the steps using their own user interface.   These simulations will provide us with a shared perception that will be the basis for questions and comments.

All ELVEN workshops offer personal guidance in a small group setting with other educators.  Come increase you SL knowledge and meet other SL-using educators!

Join us Saturday morning, February 2nd, from 8 to 10 am SLT.  Please register now at http://elveninstitute.org/workshops.html
