Schools and virtual worlds….perfect together.
You’ve read it
here first i the past, and now read it again:
….After a long day of work in the La Porte school district, technology guru Jamey Osborne can’t wait to get home and delve into his “Second Life.”
His computer transports him — or at least a 3-D representation of him that’s noticeably younger and hipper — to a peaceful yacht club where he chats with friends. When he’s done sailing, his so-called avatar might attend a musical concert or a seminar about how to better use technology in public school classrooms ….MORE….
It’s a fascinating read. The inhabitants of the island have many educators who create methods of using Second Life to teach in their student’s First Life.
Has it happened yet at your school?
Enjoy,
Owlbert
