tutorial activity responses

Microsoft word exercise...

Was pretty straight forward, I've never used mail merge before, but other than that I knew how to do everything. No issues/ problems, can see how it's useful. (as if we didn't know!)

Excell exercise...

All good untill the macros bit...cans see how this would be really handy, only issue would be remembereing what formulas do what.


What is different about the kinds of socialising that happens in these spaces? Does the 3D aspect make much difference?

I used the active worlds one, i think some of the main differences is that with msn you only talk to your contacts who you can clearly see/know who they are, with the 3d spaces anyone can talk to you who is logged on, so its a wider (more confusing) range of people to socialise with. also there are alot of things to distract you from actual conversations, it is more of a game than a chat like msn. From the short time i was on it, in which i crashed and got stuck in a creek, in i didnt really see too much socialising other than chat about the actual game, like this person needs to click here to do this and did you know you can do this, so it was actually quite different to msn, which was probably due to the fact that they could do all this other stuff apart from chatting.
