IDRAC 2012 Presentation - 11:00 am PDT, August 4, 2012
Treacle Darlandes is from the UK and is an artist and mentor in Second Life. She is co-owner of the Resident Help Network "White Tiger Mentors" group, the founder of its sister group "New Resident Services", and builder of the White Tiger Help Island.
When she was only a few months old - dilly dallying around in Second Life, wondering what it was all about - she met someone who totally changed her view of the use of Virtual Worlds and this person was definitely instrumental in driving Treacle forward to the point where she is now - training new mentors, running a help island, building a community, and at any available opportunity reminding new users about the older, disabled or unwell residents we share this world with. Many new residents in fact tell her that they are grateful for the information and that it gives them a new perspective too.
Treacle's “A True Story” is about learning to think about who is around us and about community inclusion.
The story you shared with us, was a real eye-opener. This is one way of making others see how important a Second Life account can be to the resident; that it enables people to do, what they may not be able to do in real life.
