Vision Quest and the Virtual World Story Project

Jenaia Morane was so nice to reply to me and she sent the link to a wonderful website: “The Virtual World Story Project”. Here you can find plenty of information about SL resources, Questing and stories.

She also told me about the visual quest starting on June 20^th, here follows the guidelines to participate:

When:  The Vision Quest begins on Saturday, June 20th at midnight and runs until midnight on Tuesday, June 24th.  In other words, a total of four days.

Where: The Vision Quest will begin on one of two sims:  Storybook Island or Biloxi.  Participants are free to choose either sim as a starting point.

What: Participants can choose their story trails, pick up their Instruction Kits, and get a Free copy of Max the seeing eye dog at the starting point on either sim.  Volunteers will be present to help those who are unsure about how to use the dog.  The instructions will contain directions to the first clue.

Length:  The Vision Quest will run for four days.  To be considered for one of the prizes, all stories must be dropped in the submission boxes on either Storybook Island or Biloxi by midnight on Tuesday, June 23rd.  There is no limit to the number of stories you can turn in, and you can do one or both of the Story Trails.

Prizes:  Cash prizes will be given to the top three stories: $10,000 Lindens for First, $7,500 Lindens for Second, and $5,000 Lindens for Third.  Judging will be conducted by a panel of five judges and commence on Wednesday, June 2th.

Awards:  Awards will be handed out at The Vision Quest awards ceremony to be held on Saturday, June 27th at 1:00 pm (SLT).  Winners will be notified beforehand and asked to read their winning entries at the ceremony.  If for some reason a winner does not want to read his/her story, Jenaia Morane or another appointed avatar will read it for him/her.

If you have any question you can contact Jenaia Morane inworld or drop her an email at: jenaia@tvwsp.com

Uma pequena porção de terra é bastante para…

Hà alguns dias recebi una pequena porçao de terra in Second Life English -Virtlantis.

Kip Yellowjacked foi tão gentil de me deixar escolher a locação, perto do mar ahora tenho a minha “casa”, un lugar onde posso invitar os meus estudantes, amigos e colegas para discutir sobre a didáctica.

Uma pequena porçao de terra é bastante para construir o proprio lugar de contacto com os outros, visitantes,  aficcionados e outros mais.

O meu desejo é de preparar uma serie di escenas que podem ser utilizadas para a aprendizagem da lingua estranjeira, o Italiano para os meus estudantes mas tambem o Portugues para mim que necessito !

Começei com um espacio aberto, uma praia…
