Brown Bag, Friday, January 18, 2008
The SLUM Brown Bag this Friday (12:10-12:50 EST on Wolverine Island, 9:10-9:50 SLT) will be a discussion of setting priorities and goals for supporting Second Life education here at the University of Michigan. In preparation for this session, please take a minute to answer the following questions in your own mind.
- What are core competencies for teaching in Second Life?
- What are the skills you, as an educator or supporting education, most need to begin using Second Life or make your use of Second Life more productive?*
- What skills in Second Life do you have and would be willing to share with the rest of the SLUM community in a Brown Bag?
- What educational builds are you aware of that you would recommend for our group to tour? What SIMs have you seen that you think would be appropriate for education, but are not explicitly intended for education?
- What broad topics would you like to see discovered or developed in Second Life? (What are you looking for that you haven't found?)
* Please note that we have already covered garment building for professional wear, and have an upcoming session planned on developing notecards and display materials.
For those of you who are new to Second Life or interested in learning more, assistance *is* available! Classes are available, as well as personal assistance (on a limited level, depending on demand). Contact Patricia Anderson for more information.
