New Virtual "Island" for Second Life Educators
The popular virtual community Second Life continues to be an arena for online educators not afraid of experimenting with new technology. Now, a new collaboration between Angel Learning and the Second Life Educators community has designed an island (a virtual work-area) for educators interested in trying out online learning in Second Life. What can educators do on "Angel Learning Isle"? A Digital Communities article explains:

"After gaining basic navigational skills Angel Learning Isle contains spaces to practice those skills. Standing on a virtual boardwalklinks educators simply press a button to generate a virtual classroom complete with slideshow tools. In the "SLED Educators Gallery" instructional designers and educators will find a variety of tools created by members of the SLED community along with instructions on how to copy them for their own use. A "hub" experience lists other islands built by educators for those interested in touring Second Life."
The Second Life educational island will be open to the public beginning May 15. For more information see: "Learning Island" Launched for Second Life Educator's Community.
