Jhodi’s Avatar.
I managed to create an account, but when it came time to modify my avatar, I ran into very frustrating problems. I could not get to the point where I could customize the avatar because the page would not load properly or competely. Everything was very slow and so I finally gave up unforunately. So, I am just the basic avatar that you you choose at the beginning unforunately. I do not think that this is something that I would be interested in using for my own personal use, only because I do not spend a lot of time online for these purposes. It is a cool idea though, and one that allows the user to be creative!

Hi Jhodi,
Thank you for trying to customize your avatar, even though I know it can be quite frustrating when a program just doesn’t seem to load properly. As well, I agree that creating your own avatar and Second Life does offer many great benefits especially in terms of creativity and introducing students to opportunities they may not have otherwise had like with field trips etc.

Hi Jodi,
I had some similar issues. It was extremely frustrating. It took me over an hour to finally customize mine. It was so slow! By the time I finished customizing my Avatar I did not even feel like exploring. I am not sure why it is that slow. I thought it was just an issue with my access but maybe it has to do with the amount of people online at one or something like that.
