The first thing I learned was what paleontology means, the second thing I learned was what it means to be eco-friendly to your environment, and the struggles that the kids have to go through with AIDS/HIV in Africa.
My favorite experience was when we learned the games that the played in the Grassroots football team in Africa, like how they used games to teach kids about AIDS/HIV, how you can't just tell from how a person looks if they have AIDS/HIV or not.
Learning in second life has been really awesome for me because I can't physically go to Zambia and dig for fossils and doing it on second life sped up the process because I don't think I have the patience or the skills to get the fossils out safely. But some of the bad things about doing this on second life was the lagging it was a disaster having to wait and kept getting booted of the site, other than that it was a really great experience and I'm looking forward to joining more second life programs.
This program has been a good learning process for the past two weeks. I think its different from regular programs because we actually do stuff but when we are in second life we can do and become anything we want, it's like we are starting over brand new and fresh.
