The MUVE Game Project

Take a look at this assignment from a Fall 2007 class from SDSU, co-taught by Bernie Dodge, Exploratory Learning Through Simulation and Games. Looks like a great assignment!

Be sure to take a look at the class projects to see some well-thought out ideas for the use of Second Life to support teaching and learning!

Session 8: The In-life Presentations

This evening, four of the teachers in the PLC gave their presentations in-life. I applaud them for taking the risk to try something really new, and they came through with flying colors. In addition, the content of their presentations, mostly about SL sites, was pedagogically sound and they came up with some great ideas that they can carry to the Teen Grid once we make that leap! After a bit of follow-up next week, they will be adding their presentations to the whiteboard in the theater in the back of the Nauset Building on Lighthouse Learning Island.

Here are some photos from the presentations, and our holiday photo! The avatars presenting are Kimjoy Fizzle, Babette Botha, Dahling Cahling, and Hilda Helgerud. The other members of the PLC included Pia Klaar, Wang Wingtips and Raia Schmooz.

Presentations & Adobe Education Leaders

Five or six of the teachers that have been in the Nauset Lighthouse Learning PLC this semeseter will be presenting their 5 minute presentations in-life, with voice, this Wednesday (12/5/07) at 5:30pm SLT in the presentation area behind the Nauset building on Lighthouse Learning Island. We are hoping to get all the presentations done in the hour we have. Come cheer on some educators who took the risk to enter this brave new world of Second Life!

On another note, thanks go out to Dennis-Yarmouth Public Schools and Plymouth Public Schools (both on Lighthouse Learning Island) for agreeing to give up a bit of land and some prims to allow the Adobe Education Leaders to have a place in Second Life! I have placed another building on the island, and several of the Adobe Education Leaders have already been by to check it out! Look for exciting things to be happening there in the near future...
