I woke up early this morning with mostly incoherent ideas going around in my head — lots of questions and very few answers. So the first place I went was one of my aggregators, and there I found two new posts about Second life in Education.
The first one that I opened was one from Brian Mull’s November Learning blog, entitled, November Learning in Second Life. Brian doesn’t leave his in-world name, and I’m having an especially hard time placing real-world names with in-world names. Their office is just next to mine, it’s just that all of the avatars are starting to look alike to me — unless their’s fur involved.
Also showing up in my aggregator was a thorough and balanced examination of Second life by one of the folks at Generation YES (Generationi YES Blog). Second Life, posted yesterday, Gives a brief description of the environment, but also lists several educational benefits as well as areas of continuing skepticism.
Read their article and comment. It’s a valuable conversation.
The author’s in-world name is Kay Idziak. I sure wish I had been able to choose my last name when I signed up. Mine sounds reptilian!
2¢ Worth!
Yes, it’s me! Thought I should dress up for the office pic 🙂 I can’t believe I’ve left my name off of my SL postings. I’ll have to be sure to get it in on the next one. By the way, the name is Coronet…Thompson Coronet.
Hi David,
Kay Idziak is me, Sylvia Martinez. Second Life does have some weird last names choices. I thought Idziak sounded vaguely like izquierdo, meaning “left” in Spanish. Sort of like a mirror image of real life.
