Technology in the Education Arena

Barnstable Public Schools and Plymouth Public Schools will be offering Second Life learning opportunities.   Beth Knittle (SL: Beth Kohnke) and myself (SL: JuliaAnn Mills) will be your hosts.  If you are an educator and you wish to join us, meet us 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.

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.
