Second Life

jillavatar.jpgMeet Jillianna Suisei, Jill’s avatar in Second Life.   Listening to Jill Hurst-Wahl the other day talk about Second Life (SL) and give a tour of InfoIsland was great.  I learned many things that I didn’t know.  For instance, although there are 13 million residents who have avatars in SL there are only 93,000+ premium residents who can own land.  There are many other virtual worlds that are directed to kids (webkinz, whyville), and software for virtual worlds , like Sloodle, a learning system for virtual worlds.  Jill pointed to several videos about SL:

  • Thank you for the Sloodle.org mention. We are most of one year through a major grant by the Eduserv foundation in the UK to develop out the technical infrastructure. We hold meetings on Tuesday afternoons (4pm Pacific) in Second Life and have a trial and pilot underway with teachers using Second Life in their classes.
