My first impression of a Virtual World



I have to admit I have never been much of a gamer. However recently I have found that games can add to a quality education. My institution has just recently added gaming to our curriculum's and I need to know more.

My first visit to Joykaydia was with Esme and I was just star struck! I followed her around and I bought clothes, shoes, hair and eyes. At one point while trying on my green hair I ended up naked. By this time Jane was now orienting another student so I felt kind of embarrassed and rushed to get some clothes on. I found it so real that I truly felt the embarrassment for my avatar. Once I was dressed I was able to meet a classmate within Joykaydia which I found fascinating. 

After that I went exploring on my own. I found some interesting places in my travels but I did return to the SUNY Albany Island and started doing my assignments. I kind of got lost in my travels and just kept looking around on and off throughout the week. I think I’m hooked.

I wish I had picked a cool name for my avatar but by mistake I name her my real name. Maybe I’ll change that at some point.
