Second Life Again!

April 19th, 2008

Few weeks ago in the class, we had a second journey in Second Life. I was so excited because I was thinking what the Second Life would look like after one year.

 Then I found it is more interesting then the first time I saw it. But there are sitill some advantages and disadvantages. It’s easy to get lost, I find there is no obvious notice board to show you the way to the place you want to go. And because of technical limitation, it needs faster internet base, otherwise you can’t move around in the Second Life easily. It is also  a  both process and graphic space.

Key educational strenth:

It offers new way thinking about delivering and facillitating. It has the abbility to ask people  to active or engage learninng. It is alos about engaging and activiting and experiencing.

how would u use 2nd life

Learners are taught some courses in 2nd life instead of in TAFE which is being bored. Learners can build up their own knowledge and contexts there not just learn things from others.

The 2nd life is still attracting, but it’s also a bit confusing. It’s getting easier after you keep using it. If it’s your first time to go there, it is better you have a mentor to show you around which like we did in the class. Then you definately think it is a wonderful place!
