Second Life

I went to a class on Monday about Second Life. Second Life is kind of like a virtual Facebook of sorts. First of all, it is free, you set up an account and then create your Avatar. Your Avatar is your "little person," or digital reflection of yourself. There were some connectivity issues so we were not able to set up our own. Education folks worldwide have created locations in this world that you can go to or take your students to in order to learn from each other or virtually visit historical or famous sites. For example, we went to the Alamo and walked through it and it was very well done. There are many, many groups that you can join that will guide you on how to find places to go.
