Chris Teacher

It’s nice to walk, it’s also nice to fly, but as you know at LanguageLab, you can teleport. You will always need to find your English Class, but you might also need to move around to other places, your teacher might even send you on a treasure hunt. For all these activities you will need to know how to orientate yourself in the LanguageLab city. In this blog I will show you how to find out where you are, use your big and small maps as well as making and saving landmarks (LMs)

Where am I? Your Maps

You have a small map which can live on your screen. To turn this on and off press the arrow in the right hand corner. You are a the dot in the centre and other people are green dots. On my map above the blue blocks are objects that I made. To zoom in or zoom out left click on it and scroll your mouse wheel

Landmarks

People and places will often give you landmarks (LMs). Using these you can teleport anywhere. To use a landmark, just open it from the section in your inventory and click ‘teleport’. To save an LM click the ‘here’ menu at the top of your screen and then choose ‘create landmark’. In this way you can save your favourite places in language lab.

Teleporting Tips.

- sometimes you can teleport into strange places, for example you can teleport into a house with no door, or under the floor. If you are trapped, use your big map to teleport away.

- Please look for green dots (people). If there are lots of people in one place then there is probably a class or an event happening there. If it is not your class or an event you want to go to, please don’t teleport into the middle.
