Second Life Experience

Greetings Critical Viewers,
So I've looked into this Second life game, at first glance it seemed to be a very useful game for teachers because it provided limitless potential of creation so you could basically do anything you want with this game. I've signed in and logged in and it directly put me into London City. I've tried to access our university campus from the "Places" tab but such kind of place didn't show up there so I took this selfie in London unfortunately. My first impressions are very good, first of all it's a very interactive platform as could be inferred from the name "Second Life" it imitates and simulates daily life just like The Sims does. I've found it quite immersing you can get easily preoccupied with this game. Even though at first five minutes I've suffered from a lot of lag it passed after those five minutes so I relate those problems to the density of players in my area. In this game , I see a lot of potential, you could basically implement any sort of educational tool and activity into this if you're good with basic computer programming. I enjoyed my time talking to people as I discovered the game, I asked questions like "How do I access my campus?" "How do I turn the camera so that I can see the front of my character?" etc. and they replied with genuine sympathy, I felt immersed overall. I'd highly recommend giving this one a try and for prospective teachers that recommendation goes a double. Take care guys, have a great Day/Night and keep thinking critically!

Language Applications and Sites Part I

Hello and welcome again critical viewers! Today I'm going to be talking about some language apps and sites, there will be a second chapter to this soon so stay tuned for that, in this one though, I'm going to be reviewing two apps, Mondly: So yeah, mondly is a language application that serves you a very wide array of 53 languages in one application. The bad thing about these apps, I'm going to admit right off the bat, is that they don't necessarily urge you to communicate, so they're not communicative which does not allow them to be memorable. This is a great obstacle for learning languages, it's just full of drills and repetitions until you memorize the whole thing, by the way they've got paid AR and VR courses but I could not afford them so you're going to have to make do with this review. You choose your native tongue and your target language and basically start off with vocabulary drills and tests (Obviously for 9 year olds) [ Just kidding =)

Hello everyone, So this was quite cringy for me to put together so I hope you could tolerate my strange pauses and stutters and also slips of tongue. The video is rather self-descriptive so I'm not going to get into the details about the topic, hope you like it. (This did not involve any preperation by the way, after doing a short research I just went improvisational, could be better but, yeah...) Have a great Day/Night!

QR Codes are amazing.

Greetings Critical viewers! Today I've looked into some new ways to add a little spice to your lesson/lecture, that is QR Codes everyone! Not only for lessons or lecture you could actually use these in any field of your life, if you're sufficiently creative, that is. You already know QR codes right? They are those weirdly shaped squares and boxes and squares in boxes, they are rather assymetrical but they do provide some sort of link with them. When scanned they send you right to those links you intended to create them with. Took me only a few seconds to create mine so it's really easy to create one of these, unless you're a three year old. I'm going to leave the link I've created these in below so that you could give it a try too! And obviously, I'm not going to cut you guys off on my beautiful creations. So regardless,  HERE  is the link that you could make gorgeous QR codes with! And here they are; my QR codes, they're a bit cringy but you would
