Forest Feast, "Paradise."


After a hard day of learning about different places and trying to manuver my way around, I found a place that was beyond beauty. It was like "paradise on earth,". You could there sit there all day and reflect, a place to renew your mind and body and also brighten up your day. This place is a great place for transquality and self-reflection and a place of peace.

Polynesia,Sao Tiago


I decided to take a walked and I ended up in a place that I couldn't find my way around, but eventually I did. I'm very drawn to places like this because of the relaxation or therapy I get from them. It was the cleaningness of the place that attracted me. The running water is clean and blue and the whole surrounding is incredibly clean . It was a great place for me to relaxed; as I embrace the the environment.

China, The Land Of The Great Wall.


I have heard about the great wall of China, but I had no idea of what it was like. I had imagine that it was just built llike the founadtion of a wall, but when I got here, it was different from what I had in mind. I walked and flew to see the enitre place. It is amazing to see such wonderful building structures; it looks very ancient. Such a beautful place; at least I had the opportunity to see some place I had never dreamed about, but if I could go there in the nearest future; I would love to experience this journey again.

Group Picture in Shopper's Oasis

In the real world you cannot transport yourself like you can in virtual world. It is easier to meet in the virtual world since you do not have to travel and can just meet with a click of a mouse. In the chat room through Bb Vista, it took longer for us to see each other's questions and responses. It is better in virtual world, because it is visually more interesting with physical representation of our ourselves. Also, you can do things together and visit different places.
Students will be able to immerse themselves in their classes. They are learning almost first-hand rather than looking at a book. If it is science or history class, you can transport yourself to a solar system or battlefield. You feel like you are a part of the event. First-hand experience makes more of an impression and enhances the lesson.
Virtual world increases our awareness of being able to see different sites than you may never get to see in real life. You can visit places, museums, cathedrals, in hope of seeing them in real life. You can discover unfamiliar cultures, gain a better appreciation and respect.

Eiffel Tower, Paris France




After I returned from the church, I visited the Eiffel Tower in France. I have heard so much about this place, that I had to go and see it for myself. It was a wonder to me. I was above ground; up that high. As I began to walked around, I saw "love birds," playing and having fun and there was this one guy who almost threw me down when he pass by. I thought that the arthitectual was beautiful and most of all; the peolpe that build the tower was incredible artists and then I sat to get some break from walking around and also reflect.

Visiting ST. Paul's Catheral in England


When I fisrt entered, I thought to myself, "oh my God" this is so beautiful and big. The artistic design was amazing to me, it was like a dream because I have never been in a church so big and beautiful. I walked around and saw some of the most beautiful pictures and I was amazed by such beauty. To actually be in a place that is in existance is incredible. It was complicated at first using the tools to manuver, but I made it. ST. Paul's Catheral is the most beutiful church I have been in and maybe one day I will be fortunate to be in it for real.
