  • nd since the outside content doesn't pass through Linden Lab's servers, it won't necessarily appear exactly the same way and at exactly the same time to all viewers. The company is currently working on allowing people to associate live Web content with so-called prims, the geometric building blocks that Second Life denizens use when creating virtual objects. Web content could then be stored on a portable object that a user's avatar can carry anywhere in the virtual world. "You can take it out and show it to someone without that land having to be yours," Miller says.
  • A virtual whiteboard, for example, might display a document, which two users could work on at the same time. In addition, he says, the company is building a programming interface that will allow other developers to import different types of media--Flash, for example--into Second Life without any change to the virtual world's underlying code. Miller says that companies or individuals will then have much more flexibility to use the types of media that suit their purposes within the world.
  • However, Rivers Run Red's Bovington says that Second Life tends to be the cheapest, most versatile way for a company or individual to try out Web integration. Although it has fewer security features, he says, it requires a smaller initial investment.

    Social annotations and bookmarking for the SLED archive and beyond.

    (Tags:Socialannotation Socialbookmarking SL Secondlife Education SLED)

    Dear SLEDizens, dear Diigos:

    the amount of information in the highly appreciated SLED mailing list archive is formidable.

    So social bookmarking (and hyperlinkable, rich text formatted) annotations might be helpful as additional tools to keep the overview by social biidirectional interlinking the SLED archive within itself and the rest of the Web.

    This way we can easily "weave the web" (and our memory :-) by setting links from
    older contributions to newer ones (and of course vice-versa).an abitrary externally annotated <<blog/ forum/ wikipage/ static webpage>> to an archive-posting (and vice versa) an annotation via SLURL-links to special SL locations (and v.v.)
    I opened a tag-supported group forum Second Life Social Annotations  where technical questions concerning this social bookmarking/annotation tool, applied to SL / SLED, can be addressed by SLED / Diigo peers and beyond.

  • n January 2007, Eslteacherlink.com constructed English Village,&nbsp; an immersive 3D simulation for language learners and teachers across the globe!&nbsp; At English Village teachers meet students in REAL TIME, using an avatar, Virtual white boards, VOICE, 3D objects, and role playable holodecks to provide 21st century learning.
  • Futuristic, yet Practical Instead of keeping our island flat, and having the majority of our buildings&nbsp; on the ground level, we have situated 13 glass classrooms along a 120 meter high, horse-shoe shaped mountain ridge. Below the steep mountain ridges, lies a welcoming sandy beach that reaches out into a c resent moon shaped bay area. This large open space is used frequently by our teachers for special learning activities, such as market place and carnival role play scenarios.
  • The Onion Our meeting area is in the shape of an Onion, and is constructed of 100% virtual pink stained glass.&nbsp; We actually never planned to use a giant onion as our central meeting area... but it actually does a great job of representing&nbsp; the organic nature of our island ~ We build. We make mistakes. We learn.... and sometimes we cry!&nbsp; So.. an onion - is perfect. Everyone begins in the onion. When an avatar teleports to our island for the first time, thats where they land - smack dab in the center beautiful pink wonder.&nbsp; Around the edges of the onion are several multi colored hamster tubes sprouting out - connecting to each holodeck classroom. Inside the hamster tubes are convenient People Movers - you know, the ones you see at the airport.&nbsp; Here, avatars just click on the red loading ball, and they are instantly moved along the pathway 100 meters to their destination.&nbsp; This saves virtual transport time.

  • i3D Tools at English Village Holoteaching™ Virtual holodecks enable teachers to "Holo-teach™." Holoteaching™ is a term we use to describe teaching using a holodeck. Plain and simple. We'd love to do this in the real world, but since real world technology is not yet available we are doing it in SL. Holoteaching™ provides a number of advantages for our teachers. Namely - context.&nbsp; If you've ever taught a language class to a group of students, you will understand the importance of context.&nbsp;&nbsp; For example, if a student was, say, going to Italy for a vacation, and wanted to study how to order some food - they could easily pick up a book on Italian language and memorize the necessary phases.&nbsp; If however, they were actually able to do a trial run - and actually sit down IN an Italian restaurant BEFORE they went on vacation, the likelihood of a good meal would most definitely increase. This is EXACTLY what holoteaching provides - an avenue for teachers to immerse students into rich role play scenarios where the walls, floors, and ceilings are textured to match what they are learning! Talk about fun!
  • Holo-teaching also allows transforms our classrooms into versatile meeting spaces.&nbsp; If a teacher needs to provide office hours, or meet with the president, or a college across the globe, they can easily transform their classroom into the appropriate space.&nbsp; Need a meeting room? No problem, click on meeting rooms, and choose from our selection. You can't find a meeting room you like? No problem, build it yourself, and our engineers will program it into the holodeck for you!&nbsp; Need a library to do research on educational technology? Load our research lab, and have the walls filled with links to real world research portals on the web!&nbsp; The options are endless!
  • Interactive White boards English Village also makes use of several interactive white boards in Second Life. This allows our teachers to import Real World content from their PowerPoint presentations.&nbsp; Once loaded, teachers can flip through each slide easily like they would in a normal class setting.&nbsp; During conferences, our teachers also have the option to allow their audience, or guests to import and share their own PowerPoint slides during the meeting.
