New friend Norma Underwood, a rl district Technology Integration Specialist in Phoenix, Arizona, has created some interesting spaces in rental space in Desire (**Desire Rentals**, Champlain (152, 115, 351)) for her teachers. I highly encourage educators to visit and learn from Norma's displays, excellent examples of how learning opportunities can be created by taking advantage of the tools SL has to offer. Here are a couple of pics! The first one is me in Norma's wonderful build.
Next take a look at the photos in her new comedy club. The human being behind Norma has extensive stand-up comedy experience and hopes to bring some of the joy of that field into Second Life. Beware! Laughter can help you live better!
Lastly (though there's much much more at her site, including a generous "Educator Gifts" freebie box full of useful items), her wall of avatar pics representing her participating teachers:
In addition to Norma's fun space, I discovered another fine one during a little sidetrip to the Learning Experience (Kitviel Silberberg, The Learning Experience, Akamu Cove (126, 145, 22)). This place looks very promising: From their free (unless you are charging your students, in which case there's a rental fee--fair enough) open presentation/classrooms to their "Magicaves,"
I'm sure we'll find ways to take advantage of the generosity exhibited at The Learning Experience. Here's their info notecard text:
The Learning Experience is now open! In The Learning Experience you will find classrooms at your disposal, and FREE workshops on everything educational given all the time! FREE Creative showcase space is avaialble. FREE Newsstand vendor for you SL Publications. IM me (Penny Preez or Kitviel Silberberg) for more information.and a pic or two:
That's all from the front this week. Stay tooned for more as we continue to explore how education in Second Life is being redefined moment by moment, day by day.
