Today was very exciting because I figured out how to actually build the set-up for the lesson I've been working on the previous days. It required me to build different colored tiles and place them using the coordinates. Since I had to use my knowledge of the 3-Dimensional plane in order to correctly place the tiles, it gave me an idea of how I'd like to teach the more formal depiction of coordinates. Second Life requires you to adjust the positon of an object by changing its X, Y, and Z coordinates. My idea is, once I have built the floor, I'd like to build another object (maybe a small sphere) and have the students move the sphere to different locations on the tiled floor. This way they'll get exposure to coordinates.
I'll more than likely get them view the floor from more of a top view. Like such...
