http://www.netfamilynews.org/2008/07/top-8-workarounds-in-kid-virtual-worlds.html Top 8 workarounds of kid virtual-world users It stands to reason that bullying happens in kids' virtual worlds (e.g., Club Penguin, Webkinz, Neopets, Nicktropolis, etc.), because, well, it happens in school, instant messaging, and social-networking sites Sharon Duke Estroff the Atlanta-based parenting columnist, former elementary school teacher, kids' pop culture expert, author, and mother of four spent a couple of weeks in Club Penguin to learn what her eight-year-old son might experience there. She didn't like everything she saw. |

Educational Uses of Second Life (wiki)
http://sleducation.wikispaces.com/educationaluses Educational Uses of Second Life (wiki) This is an overview of some of ways Second Life can be used, and in some cases, has been used for educational purposes. See Further Resources at the bottom of this page for links to more examples and other resources. We have interpreted the term 'education' very liberally, since, like in real life, learning can occur when 'education' isn't deliberately happening. We see all of Second Life itself as a learning environment. Also, many of the projects listed are not educational projects per se... but point to ways that Second Life can be used in education. |

Second Thoughts on Second Life
http://blog.genyes.com/index.php/2007/07/21/second-thoughts-on-second-life/ Second Thoughts on Second Life Excellent Blog Posting When I joined the group of educators in Second Life called the CAVE (see previous post) I promised myself I would do two things: 1) approach Second Life with an open mind and 2) write about it along the way. I have written about it to some extent (another previous post, My First Second Life Lesson), but it still feels like I have a long way to go. And finally, to gain any REAL insight and perspective, I needed to re-read more seminal works in this area. I’m still working my way through some and I’ve written about them at the end of this post. |
