My Second Life experience
I attended the Virtual Worlds 2008 …brave new world? Conference on the 29th October.
In Second Life (SL), created by Linden Lab in 2003, users are able to create an image called an “avatar” by right-clicking and selecting everything from hair color to chin length to muscle tone. The basic level of membership is free and includes training for the avatar to learn how to walk, talk and fly.
The Schedule for day…………
- Introduction - Sarah Price, JISC regional Support Centre Scotland North & East
- Keynote 1: Virtual Worlds in Education - Andy Powell, Eduserve
- Parallel Session - Learning and Assessment in Second Life with Moodle
- Keynote 2: Implementing Virtual Worlds - Pauline Randall, Virtual-e
- Parellel Session - Digital mise-en-scene
- Close - Sarah Price
The educational possibilities of Second Life are worth developing and with a good allocation of time I have no doubt that SL is useful tool for the Educator.
