Ten Commandments 2010

Hi all,

Alrighty, as you've begun to build your homes with a partner, you may have started to think about process.

Process is something frequently overlooked in development, but really, it's what separates the good projects from the amazing ones.

So, here's what I'd like you to do. By Friday come up with 10 principles that should govern your building with a team in Second Life.

Yes, your lists might look drastically different, but we will go over them together and see what kinds of principles we think should govern us as a class. Publish your list by posting a comment to this blog post.

Ten Commandments

Ten Commandments

First, remember to send me a picture of your home as well as the physical home.

Seond, now that you've built with a partner, you've seen some of the pro's and cons of building in SL up close and personal. In the comment field for this post create a list with your partner of ten commandments for building in SL. Be sure to put both of your first names on it so I can credit it.

Welcome Film 4760 Spring 2K9!

OK, So I will be posting things here in class on occasion, and may allow you to post links here as well. I won't be using this as a "class blog" so you don't have to check it regularly, I'll tell you when to show up.

But you can explore some of the links from last semester here.

Cheers,

Rahjur
