Object-Name: SIBlogRegion: Daydream SE Islands (232960, 246272)Local-Position: (18, 92, 24)Hi Skipper, I'm from Orpington College and I'm currently doing a Foundation degree in Education & Training at Greenwich University. One of my lecturers, Simon Walker, told me that Bromley College had been experimenting in SL and I was interested to see what you've been doing here. Together with my ebuddies, we been using SL to collaborate on tasks for our Celtt course. I'm looking forward to learning more about SL and hope to get the chance to have a chat here in the future, particularly as our two colleges are merging.Floydette Albatros
If I were to be asked "what is the main advantage of using Second Life over say using one of the more traditional delivery platforms for learning materails and resources such as a vle?". Well of course there are many, but I think my first reaction would be to simply recite what I consider to be the top three and they are "Social, Social, Social". And to put my committment where my opinions are, I have setup the SpeakEasy. While retaining the theme of my sub-tropical island, I used a Skyrock to house three breakout huts, where small groups can get together and either text chat of voice chat in the relative seclusion of the skies above Second Life. Given the seperation of the huts, you should find that conversations in one will not be overheard in the other two. To aid the sense of privacy, and introduce some sense of ambience, I have included the sounds of running water and random bird song.So if you are looking for a venue with difference to hold those meetings, feel free to teleport
If you look on the first floor of the beach house, you will see that I have installed Starting HTML. This is the first in a series of short tutorials, that like our other programming self paced learning includes an on-line interpreter, so you will be able to run all your HTML withhout the need to leave Shimmer Island. You can take a look and tryout the HTML interpreter by Clicking here.
