Second Life in Education

Tim Siftar from our Hagery library at Drexel gave a talk this morning about Second Life basics and some educational applications. It was a really good introduction and hopefully some of the people in attendance will get inspired to give it a try.

We then met Beth in-world and she shared lots of tips about getting started and teleported us to a few educational places. Josh controlled our avatar. Unfortunately, Beth couldn't record her part with Camtasia because of the computational demands of SL. But she did provide us with a link to her wiki on educational Second Life applications.

Here is the audio (mp3) of Tim's talk.
Here is the screencast (Flash).
Here is the Powerpoint.
