Day 2 of the PLC

Day 2 of the PLC had some frustrations...first, one must remember to visit the computers with the SL client the day of the workshop in order to update the software. Pulling down the update to all the computers at once really got us bogged down. Luckily, Pia Klaar (SL) did some of the installs so I could be free to demo some things.

The group is SO engaged and very fast learners. A few have left Orientation Island and were interested in editing their appearance, others are almost ready to leave, and the advanced users in the group are working on building. It is an exciting PLC, and I hope I can keep up with all of them as they continue to advance their skills!

I did purchase several copies of this book, How to Do Everything with Second Life, for all of the groups. It is really well done and has tons of information!

Their homework is to finish and leave Orientation Island, find their way to Lighthouse Learning Island, and find and put on a Lighthouse Learning Island t-shirt.

On another note, I presented our 5-year technology plan to my five School Committees earlier this week and filled them in on the Second Life Project. Of course, a few had seen the Law and Order episode the previous night in which a MUVE called "Another Universe" was presented in a negative light. It did not have an impact on how the project was received, though, since the committees see the project as a worthwhile one! w00t!
