3D Virtual Worlds - Second Life
Class: 10
In this class we discussed about the use of 3D Virtual Worlds - Second Life in TEFL. To talk about this topic, let’s introduce a definition provided by Wikipedia: “Second Life is an online virtual world developed by Linden Lab which was launched on June 23, 2003. A number of free client programs called Viewers enable Second Life users, called Residents, to interact with each other through avatars. Residents can explore the world (known as the grid), meet other residents, socialize, participate in individual and group activities, and create and trade virtual property and services with one another. Second Life is intended for people aged 13 and over,[3] and as of 2011 has more than 20 million registered user accounts
Before our session class, we were asked to download software to access virtual learning environment in order to have tour to experience this amazing virtual tool. To do that, it was mandatory to have a very good Internet connection and an update computer since this technological tool has a variety of demanding requirements to access. Some of my classmates could face this experience, and they say it was great. In my case, I could not do it. I tried many times, but it was unsuccessful.
What I learned from this experience was that if you want to be part of this technological world, you need to be updated to be productive.
Here you have some interesting links where you can find more information about this topic. I hope you enjoy it.
