This is just lovely! We use goanimate at school, but didn't realise that you could twist it around to produce such nice thing as this tour of yours. Congratulations, and thanks for sharing. ~ Judy

Dear Miss Barrow,
thank you for your kind words! but i must humbly assert that...it's the Caledon Library bookcase not mine.. Contact Sir JJ Drinkwater in-world for more information and to obtain one (they're free!) and i believe Sir Zen Wormser was the scriptor for the bookcase. but i'm sure your students are welcome to play with the books in an open space environment.. in fact, once you get one of the bookcases you can transfer a copy to them all! (they're no mod but copy/trans) i'm just a humble reporter....an admirer and a teacher [grins] not much of a builder either! you can see my second life blog here: http://celtgrrl.blogspot.com/
Cheers!

It certainly is a beautiful space! (Nothing wrong with "too pretty"! ;)
There are so many books available - thank you so much for the work that you do and in being so generous to share.
I'm still a little new to virtual worlds and especially the building process...would you mind if our students use your books in an OpenSim space?
Many thanks for sharing. Your use of GoAnimate is a great way to promote your wonderful work!

You're very welcome! Caledon is beautiful (almost TOO pretty)...but its the soot and the steam of New Babbage that makes my heart beat faster! we even had a building contest for sewer trash! Huzzah for Verisimilitude!

Wow, thanks for sharing. Firstly, Caledon is always an amazing place and I love the way GoAnimate made me want to go and check it out. Thanks so much for sharing both.

You need to look at something other than Second Life Stacy. Teen Grid is 13-18 - I suggest you look at Quest Atlantis for that age range, if you don't have resources/program to teach yet. Alternatively you might look at a game - as at that age the...
