Second Life + Finishing Papers in First Life



Dr. Cynthia Garrety provided us with some exciting possibilities for thinking about using Second Life in educational settings.  We are fortunate to have Cynthia, a national expert in this area, working in our program.  As the picture shows, students were clearly interested in her ideas.
Emily's presentation on a nutrition program for elementary classes was a second highlight of our evening.  Emily had carefully planned and sequenced her talk and was exceptionally clear and professional.
Our final paper groups met and defined both concerns and titles for papers.  I look forward to seeing some drafts of papers this week, and I am pleased with the progress in this area.  Students seem to be supporting each other in this work and I know this will strengthen the final products.
And we are almost finished!

  1. Dr. Garrety's presentation was very interesting, indeed! As I am interested in Second Life and Sloodle, which is an integration of Moodle in Second Life, I decided to sign up for a summer seminar on Second Life that will be taught by Dr. Garrety. If someone is also interested in this area, please consider signing up as well!
