A YouTube Tour of Second Life
Jan 13th
One of the blogs/newsfeeds I read regularly mentioned a Second Life related video posted via YouTube, so I started exploring the site to see what could be learned or demonstrated about Second Life via already-posted YouTube videos. The collection of videos I marked highlight a number of educationally relevant possibilities in Second Life, and even the ones that aren’t clearly educational in nature, consider, “If these activities – through 3D building and scripting – are user generated via Second Life, how many different educationally centered activities are possible?”

Jan 11th
In just a matter of a few weeks, I’ve encountered a good number of educators that, like myself, are “exploring Second Life to see how” it may be used by a college or university. Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte, NC – incidentally, one of the hosts of the League of Innovation’s 2006 Conference on Information Technology – is exploring as well, but they’re engaging that process openly via the CPCC 3D Campus / SLC3 Blog. I’m hoping that the lack of updates since late November can simply be attributed to the Winter Break because there are several very helpful posts already on the blog, so I’m hoping it will continue once the Spring ’07 semester gets rolling.
A couple of posts and links to explore from that blog:
- a draft of CPCC’s Strategic Plan for the SL Project
- an (internal? & approved?) initiatives grant to fund exploration of CPCC in SL.
- if you had less than 10 minutes to pitch SL to an administrator, what would you say?
- thinking out loud about how a meeting with the College President will/should go
- a Canadian Broadcast Company reporter’s introduction to SL (direct link, RealPlayer)
- the initial blog post describing the early stages of exploration
Imagine the collaborative effort if all institutions exploring SL maintained a similar blog; the cross posting, commenting, and information gathered from blog feeds would be an incredible asset to the community.
