Open day at Eduisland II yesterday was a thrill! I connected to new friends and won a 500 L$ prize, what more can you ask for. Congratz to the king of eggs who collected all together 19! Fleet Goldenberg did a great job on organizing the event, and here are the egg hunt results and his finale report:
The joint EduIsland II and EduIsland 5 Open Day on Saturday 22 was a great
success! Aided by announcements in the SLED list and in the Discovery
Educator Network (DEN) blog site, there was a regular footfall of visitors,
many of whom were new to Second Life and appreciative of what they could
learn from the Day and the SL beginner information packs dispensed by its
staff.
The Open Day acted as a platform to launch a series of innovative new
features and services, including the 'Potential' instructional philosophy
for maximization of human potential, an exhibition area displaying exhibits
about possible future sciences and technologies, a competitive educational
essay-writing League for tweens and teens, videogame-style Island Storylines
and Quests and a new amusement arcade center for 18-year old teens newly
arrived from Teen Second Life that provides a base for adult educators
interested in working with teens on the adult Main Grid.
Other highlights of the day were prize contests to earn L$ and land, the
most popular of which was our island-wide Easter Egg Hunt. There were five
winners who won prizes ranging from L$1000 to L$75. First place was taken
by Thonalon Umarov, followed by Kita Coage (2nd
place), Riptide Furse (3rd place), Kattina Giha and Smartlak Goodfellow
(joint 4th place) and last but not least, Bravo5 Avro, Eya Oh and Zsuzsa
Tomsen (joint 5th place).
There were sadly no participants for our other two prize contests, the
'Whack a Mole Arcade Challenge' and the 'Collaborative Questing Challenge'
but we'll be looking to continue these two activities as regular features.
The winner of the 'Best Snapshot in SL' contest to win a free 12 month
tenancy of a huge luxury office building on EduIsland II will be judged
later in the week in order to give folk time to come up with some great
entries.
We look forward to seeing everyone again at the 2009 Open Day!
I caught this fella in the action of hunting inside an egg! The picture is already sent in for the "Best snapshot" contest.
