Assignment 5: Building "Something"

This exercise and exercise were both originally conceived of as activities that would take place in Second Life. Second Life has not turned out to be as inspirational as I had hoped. So please find some on-line world or application that allows for unique creations. They could be anything from Second Life outfits to Flickr slide shows to sculptures in A Tale in the Desert. (Note: it would be preferable if your product was not inside a world that the rest of us had to pay to enter.) At some point in the future, I will make a small in-class show of the most interesting objects. If you life the ideas of 3D worlds you may want to look at Active Worlds (see http://en.wikipedia.org/
wiki/Active_Worlds for details.) Otherwise, I am open to suggestions. If in doubt, ask.
In this case, I'd like you to answer the following questions:

1. Which application did you use to create something?

I used an application called Jib Jab Elf Yourself. It sort of like an ecard, but is animated. You can put pictures of yourself and your friends into a funny video of dancing elfs hip hop.

How could other members of the class go about accessing your stuff?

2. How much time/effort was required in building your creation?

It was extremely easy. The layout of the website was very easy to follow and had concise instructions. All you have to do upload pictures of your friends.

3. Do you like what you have made?

YESSSSSSSSSS!! It is so funny and cute. I posted it on all my friends facebook walls and it made their day.
