Eureka Moment

It seems we as a group have come together with a new resolve to make this project work. This new determination stems from a heated but reasoned tete a tete with our supervisor in residence Dr. Yeo Wang. We were confused as to what aspects of orientation island can be used to teach the students. I suggested that we should just concentrate on the big picture, i.e. we should first master secondlife by going through orientation island (frankly only marcus has done that so far) then we will be able to get to a point when we can actually explore the obvious potential of this program as a math teaching aide.
As far as i am concerned we have accomplished something really significant today. We have come to an agreement to work together as a team, and this should include our supervisor, she should know that we are committed to the task at hand. I am not convinced she realize that.

The first thing we did was to treat the circle in the main square of Orientation island as a viable mathematical tool. We described and took snapshots of all the movement we can do within the circle. We took pictures of the circumference, radius and diameter of the circle. I was respeonsible for taking the pictures of all the steps we take within the circle, using Adobe photoshop, Jonathan was respnsible for taking short video clips of what we are doing with the circle, while Marcus took notes of the steps we take using Microsoft word.
Docummenting every step is not going to be easy. First i don't thing we have either the space or time to do it. I think we should concentrate on our understanding of secondlife enabling us to build things and making mathematical concepts out of that.
Jonathan and i will finally go through orientation island and start building mathematical concepts that Marcus is already working on.
