"sloodling" within a holodeck

Inside Sami's holodeck

While rezzing the sloodle tools, I have had amusing moments. I believe that I have learned the skills and I am able to set and reset my moodle and sloodle.
However, I was puzzled looking of the tools I would have rezzed. I would use the camera moments looking around me and see where the tool would be. This actually what had happened to me while doing the activity of "Mini-challenges to improve basic building skills" the object was placed in different places when assigning position coordinates. I did the activity several times, till I used the camera movements to discover the position of each object.
This time, it was similar. When I click on the sloodle errezer, the tool would be placed outside my holodeck.
How I solved the problem?
It was through seeing the hovering texts covering the ceiling and the wall of the holodeck. At the beginning I did not understand. I have to and back from sloodle to moodle in vain. I asked a question in the forum. I was impatient to know the answer. I got nothing. It meant I had to check my skills and knowledge. I deleted all the tools, then. When I tried to get again the tools from the sloodle rezzer, I saw that there was a hovering text on the wall without any tool. Since then, I rezz the tool and take to my inventory and rezz it again and use editing to place it in the appropriate place for me.
It is learning through trials and errors.

Personal follow up with sloodle

It has been over a week that I have started to learn about Sloodle together with moodle, which I have initiated to learn from scratch. It was a sever headaches at the beginning since I wanted to do everything without reading the documents and refer to different available resources. It was a waste and time, energy because of the teaching and end of our academic year, including exams and giving marks.
Of course I have rezzed and rerezzed all the tools inworld. I have had many hovering text on each tool, which was worrying. , I posted a question about that in the forum, but got no answer. Therefore, I deleted all tools and started anew. Then, I had another problem. It was the “vending machine”. I looked for it everywhere thinking it is to be found in the sloodle market. I spent much time in the Sloodle Park and also tried hard to get a copy whenever I came across any vending machine. Finally I decided to do three main things before starting the activities:
1-Use YouTube to watch tutorial video
2-Read all the post of all participants and see their problems and how they have solved them
3-Print and read Jaime’ s valuable instructions
4-Attending inworld meeting and asking our colleagues my newbie questions
It was a total success. I have learned a lot of things through this process. You can see the result on the below links. Nevertheless, I still need more instructions and feedback to brush my learning strategies and techniques.

These are some of the snapshots I have taken along the week:
