Geocashing Starts!!!!

For the second half of this semester, I am going to introduce Geocaching. Although I just start knowing Geocaching, I already love this outdoor sporting activity. Have anyone tried Geocaching before? It originated from US, but now it is popular around the world.
It is an adventure, a treasure hunting, although most of the "treasure" you found maybe not that valuable~haha. It is an experience to explore something unknown.
The vedio below will help you understand better of Geocaching. I'm sure you will like it.

3-D Web Conferencing

Do you love 3-D movies? I love it! But do you know Web Conferencing can be 3-D? I never thinking about that before I started learning it!

The other day, when I was thinking about what topic should I introduce for this week, I asked myself a question. What other form can web conferencing be besides the conventional one. Then I googled, and found the 3D Web Conferencing. In a 3D web conference room, not only can you share your desktop, share files, do the ppt presentation, but also can you create a interactive 3D meeting with a avatar-driven, multi-featured virtual offive space.

This is a company provide certain services. It has 15 days free trial period. If you are interested in it, just try it!
