Information Center
 Got some info from Emilia and a free bag of goodies
from Boise State (includes a T-shirt, sunglasses, and
an educational design tour guide)

4. 
This looks like something I would be
interested in.

5. 
I couldn’t help myself. I was born a gamer, will
always be a gamer!

6. 
These games are actually hard to learn. Wouldn’t this be a great exercise
and lesson in effective communication to have somebody “train”
somebody else how to play these?

7. 
Had no idea what I would find in here but was
pleasantly surprised.

8. 
Whenever you find objects like these, click on them. This one took me to
a video of a holocaust survivor speaking to a live class in Second Life.
Amazing!!!

9. 
Could this be developed for something like
ESL?

While some of the resources and locations on this island are topic specific
and may not be related to any of us, they show us what the possibilities
are using virtual environments regardless of subject matter.
Find buildings, screens, signs, people, and objects on the island
Interact with them
Go to their linked locations (usually web
pages or YouTube videos)
Ignore whether the subject matter is what YOU teach
Does this technology have educational value?
Imagine that the subject matter was yours,
can you see students engaging with this?
How would you structure activities as an educator?
Content?
Communication?

I also have this landmarked in my favorites and can share with you next
time I see you in SL.
