The shadwoing experience is the second part of the two step process prior to entering the official Second Life Mentors group. If you wish to inform yourself about the official shadowing information released by VTeam please open this wiki page:
Shadowing Experience with Tom32 Anatine (that's me) as your Apprentice Buddy
The most important you should know about Shadowing in general is, that the Shadowing Experience itself may vary on the Apprentice Buddy you choose. We all can create our own way to do the Shadowing, but still we have to abide to the rules laid out for the Shadowing (you can find those at the link that I provided before).
Additionally to a notecard that you would receive in-world before you start the shadowing with me, I would like to inform you about how my shadowing looks like and what I expect from you.
General Information
As all Volunteering should have a certain fun component, this applies to the shadowing experience as well. Please do not be afraid that it will be straight learning, I will try to give in as much fun as possible, but still we have to realize that this is an official step, so we should be taking it serious at the same time. Most important for me is that you show interest in waht we are doing, questions are always welcome, but I would not like it to get interrupted when I explain you something and in the end I would have to correct your ideas. Just listen me and afterwards we can have a look at your idea and maybe you have better ideas than I do. During the shadowing the TAO of Volunteers as well as the Terms of Service (and Community Standards) have to be abidden by both - the Apprentice Buddy and the Apprentice Mentor. Severe violations of those will result in a direct termination of the shadowing experience as well as a refusal of issueing the voucher, further action could be taken,.
