PacificRim Exchange : Project
http://pacificrimx.wordpress.com/ PacificRim Exchange : Project .. between students in Japan and the USA The Pacific Rim Exchange program grew out of a dinner conversation between a group of teachers in my district and a visiting group of teachers from our sister school in Kyoto, Japan (Kyoto Gakuen High School). We were discussing the possibility of setting up video conferencing between our schools so that our future exchange students could interact prior to their exchanges, possibly getting to know each other a bit, and maybe if we were lucky they would learn a little of their host country’s language before their exchange. |

Setting up an island in the Teen Grid
http://schome.open.ac.uk/wikiworks/index.php/SNP_preparation If you are thinking of setting up an island in the Teen Grid then this page should be of interest to you - it explains some aspects of setting up a Teen Grid island, getting adults into the island, and bulk registering students. This involved four steps: 1. Buying SchomeBase and Schome Park (our islands in the Main and Teen Grids respectively) 2. Developing SchomeBase (so that it looked exactly like we wanted Schome Park to look like) 3. Mirroring SchomeBase onto Schome Park 4. Sorting out any problems on Schome Park following the mirroring |

The schomeNAGTY Teen Second Life Pilot
http://kn.open.ac.uk/public/getfile.cfm?documentfileid=11344 The schomeNAGTY Teen Second Life Pilot Final Report This report provides a brief overview of key ‘findings’ emerging from the schome-NAGTY Teen Second Life Pilot. There is extensive additional information about the Pilot on the schome community website www.schome.ac.uk The Pilot set out to explore the educational potential and pitfalls of Teen Second Life, a secure 3D virtual world for 13 to 17 year olds. 149 students from NAGTY (The National Association of Gifted and Talented Youth) were provided with access to Schome Park (an island in Teen Second Life) which was intended to be used as an integral part of the the schome community website (wiki and forum). These students were referred to as SParkers. During the Pilot a great deal was learnt about the pragmatics of using Second Life to enhance learning. It seems clear that Second Life does offer affordances that other media lack and that it has the potential to offer powerful new forms of support for learning, particularly in relation to knowledge age skills. |

Teen Grid Second Life
http://teen.secondlife.com/ Teen Grid Second Life ... Teen Second Life is an international gathering place for teens 13-17 to make friends and to play, learn and create. In Second Life, teens can create and customize a digital self called an "avatar," fly through an ever-changing 3D landscape, chat and socialize with other teens from all over the world, and build anything from skyscrapers to virtual vehicles. It’s more than a videogame and much more than an Internet chat program – it’s a boundless world of surprise and adventure that encourages teens to work together and use their imaginations. |
