  • We're already on the cusp of a fully-immersive 3D experience that could go mainstream. Microsoft's Kinect peripheral for its gaming console, for example, allows gamers to control their onscreen characters with body movements captured by 3D cameras. Sony's PlayStation Home offers a sharp, high-definition virtual world. Maybe these companies could teach Linden Labs a thing or two about advancing the technology and vision behind Second Life.
  • The learning curve for Second Life is also steep, no thanks to its cumbersome user interface. Even a mildly proficient Internet user might be put off.

Facebook Google+ social media interaction education learning

shared by Kartini Ishak on 05 Apr 13 - No Cached
  • A recent study of Google+ showed that it is more popular with parents than students,  which could be a favorable indicator of how popular it is for those educators of the same generation.
  • One example of how teachers are using Google+ Pages to run their classrooms, is that of Mr. McDowell who teaches World History at West Hills High School. Mr. McDowell has made great use of Google’s tools to give students access to documents, schedules, presentations, videos and password protected areas like attendance and grade records.
  • access to Google+ tools and pages from any computer promotes interactivity on the site and is a big hit with educators

  • Facebook doesn’t offer a platform that supports real-time interactions and information sharing like Google+.
  • Google+ still has a learning curve for all users
  • Google+ Pages provides control for sharing information by allowing you to sort your contacts into “circles”.
  • This provides a new dynamic in which great opportunities for tutoring can thrive.
  • create custom “hangouts” which brings people from within your circles that you select, to interact in a virtual room together.

    A little backdated article in 2011, but I thought it would be good to start exploring possibilities of Google+ and using it in classrooms

  • Capture the flag. Hide and seek. Marco Polo. These location-based games brought hours of fun to many of us as children. Then video games came along and suddenly the only location you played in was the living room. Now this shift is coming full circle as innovative mobile games are using geo-location, image recognition and augmented reality technologies to combine the real and virtual worlds.
