Google Map of Second Life World Heritage Sites With SLurls | Second Life Update - 1 views

  •  
    link to a very cool map of World Heritage Sites created in the virtual world of Second Life. The map is viewable in Google Maps and includes SLurls to teleport to each of the locations. The information was gathered by New Mexico State University Professory Pete Eidenbach and imported into Google Maps. If you combine this with Virtual Flags and Anthems of the World and our list of 35 Virtual Countries in Second Life then you receive quite a world history or geography lesson.

Avatars & 3D Viewers in Second Life & OpenSim Virtual Worlds - YouTube - 0 views

  •  
    YouTube channel - Avatars & 3D Viewers in SL and OS VWs. You are creating a Second Life account / avatar... so, what SL Viewer should you use? SL Viewer Version 3, 2, 1.23 or one of the alternate 3rd party viewers such as Imprudence or Phoenix. I'll go for Imprudence since I'm on a mac and if you are accessing second life and OpenSim, it is the only option for me on a mac. Good series of vidtuts from UCDavis

How To Spark Remote Learning - Forbes.com - 1 views

  •  
    This is an article about utilizing Second Life to teach ESL. From language courses I have had, I know it makes a big difference for learners to be able to learn language in the context in which it is normally spoken. I can see how Second Life could have some applications to demonstrate to learners language spoken in context. "Second Life English" has an island devoted to teaching English. You may want to check it out.

Dusan Writer's Metaverse » The Stars Alive: Rezzing Dreams at the Virtual Ca... - 0 views

  • See, we’re here because we can tell stories, we can be inside art, we can give context to conversation and learning and collaborating in ways that are, simply, impossible in nearly every other medium, including reality.
  • I call Second Life the largest collaborative creative venture on the planet today.
  • And I really don’t get why people don’t see that. I don’t get why the news articles aren’t about the creation of a city with the population of San Francisco and the land mass of Rhode Island, and that the city is one giant collection of user-generated art, whether it’s crappy art like that gazebo I made when I didn’t realize there were camera controls (yeah, tell me about it), or mind-blowing art like….well, like simply sitting around in a little cabin you built, or the skybox you decorated, or the club you put together where a couple dozen people come to dance and hang out and give the equivalent of little Tweets about their experiences.

  • Portable Stories The value of virtual worlds isn’t for its power to represent 3D landscapes or for your avatar to look the same when you move from OpenLife to Reaction Grid: the value is in the portability of our stories and the ability to narrate our experiences and to carry those narrations in different forms.
  • In virtual worlds, the stories ARE the platform. Which is what I meant by their power to form new heuristics from WITHIN the algorithm, or what Tom Boellstorff calls ‘techne within techne’.
  • The Lab, it’s starting to look like, is no longer in the business of operating a virtual world. They’re in the business of helping people to create and transport stories, to link those stories and forms of expression to commerce, and, if they succeed, to create a new form of search, to solve the conundrum of how to not just connect people, but to connect people in ways that are meaningfully referenced to the stories we tell, based on grounding those stories in a robust and expressive tool set.
  • I am attracted to how Second Life may be a new camp fire around which we weary hunters gather, scratching pictures in the sand with our primitive tools and telling each other of the days we’ve had, and the adventures ahead.
  • the platform enables us to all collectively participate in creating a shared narrative

    we're here because we can tell stories, we can be inside art, we can give context to conversation and learning and collaborating in ways that are, simply, impossible in nearly every other medium, including reality. Dusan Writer blogs of interactive, collaborative narrative (storytelling) as the compelling reason for virtual worlds such as second life.
