I have not had much use for Second Life, but maybe that’s because I have not found great use for it as of yet. In one of my classes I’ve had to create a character and use him to have a class meeting a few times, but that’s pretty much it. When I took my class, it was a bit awkward having a class meeting but it did help being assigned groups. I will admit that it was an interesting experience text chatting to avatars.
After visiting the Blooms Taxonomy and Multiple Intelligence SL sites I must admit that it has peaked my interest a bit more. I’ve always known you can visit different worlds created by different people but I never knew the detail it can have. I was impressed and think I’ll be using SL a bit more now.
I’ve read Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence book and I liked what he had to write about. Seeing it live, however, was impressive to see. It was very well labelled and had lots of virtual things to explore. I like the possibilities that SL has to offer but being that I’m limited to what I teach (Sports, P.E.) I don’t think I have much use for it. However, I’ll be hoping to teach Art History sometime soon and I can see how SL will come in handy! Until then I’ll be exploring the possibilities.
