Second Life Learning Opportunities

Second Life Learning Opportunities

Barnstable and Plymouth Public Schools will be hosting a few learning opportunities on Second Life in the next couple of months. Julia Colby (SL-JuliaAnn Mills) and I will be your facilitators. These sessions are open to all educators in Second Life. We will meet at the Lighthouse Learning Island Teleport hub, near the calendar at the Lighthouse. Please IM Beth Kohnke or JuliaAnn Mills in Second Life if you have any questions. Looking forward to seeing you there.

Getting around in Second Life
In this session we will tour various educational venues, as well as, some places of interest. We will learn how to make landmarks so you can easily return for further exploration. We will teleport, use the map, and search tools to help us get around in SL.

Friday November 16 4 pm SLT, 7pm Eastern

Repeat on Saturday November 17 4 pm SLT, 7pm Eastern

Organization is Everything

You will quickly find that your inventory can become very unorganized and it can slow you down. In this hands on learning session we will help you clean out and organize your inventory. We will learn to make folders and rename items for easy retrieval.

Presenting in SL

We are members of a global network of educators and it is time we begin to share our expertise and experiences with others. In this learning experience we will look at the basics of how to present in SL and some of the options and tools to aid in presenting. We will also discuss how to find a venue to host a presentation and ways to advertise.

  2. Dear Beth,

    I have been asked to investigate Second Life for FCTIL (Florida Council of Technology Instructional Leaders) for FETC and do a presentation. I have only created a character so far and run around in Orientation Island. Will you be doing another session? I would love to learn more.
