Dear Professor Kim, Our presentation will be on the second life. Researching the software I came across a lot of interesting aspects that if offers. For example you chat with people outside to your country and get to know them and learn different things about their culture and so forth. Another thing is that you can even maintain a relationship with someone and possibly get married to him or her. Which I think is crazy but some people really enjoy having a second life. When we present our project we will be conducting a meeting on second life. Second life would be fun to use in daily life for example school and business. I heard that a professor in Harvard uses this software to conduct class, he has his student meet up on second life around a Jacuzzi and he conducts class. Some people say it’s a really fun way to learn their materials for the course instead of listening to a boring class and when professors make it a lecture bases class only it becomes even more boring for some students and they don’t learn much because they just end up dozing off. So in a way this is a good way to student. For the business life I think you can also use second life to conduct a business meeting with someone from another company miles away. Instead of using the phone you can just sign on to this and conduct the meeting through this software. So when we present we will work on clearly projecting the information to our class mates with a well put together power point presentation that will first explain the steps and back round about the software and then we will conduct a mini meeting to show how the software works and how it could be used to your advantage. We will focus on eye contact, posture, and speaking clearly and loudly. Our content will be precise and to the point and power point once again will be well organized and informative. Main point is to be able to help people understand the software and be able to use it easily in the future. So professor I believe we will be able to be very informative and organized and have a great presentation put together for our project. Please let us know if you have any information you may know that we can use to better our presentation. We would really appreciate it.

Thank you, Yolland Basmajian
