The objectives for this scavenger hunt is exploration and discovery of the creative efforts of Second Life's
residents as well as the group meeting in Second Life (day and time to be announced) to view the photos and discuss your experiences.
The "winners" are those of you who work through the list and find as many of the objects as possible or all of them.
Once you have completed the hunt, be sure to rename each file with your last name_and the object (russotti_weathertv.bmp).
All files should be in one folder labled your last name.
On the MAC you will ARCHIVE the folder (compress the files into one file) by right clicking or control clicking and selecting CREATE ARCHIVE in the drop down menu.
On the PC right click on the folder and a drop down menu should have the WINZIP option and that will create one compressed file.
