Virtual Worlds in education

Tuesday, June 27, 2006

Found this paper hereSecond Life and School: The Use of Virtual Worlds in High School Education.

Here’s a quote:

There appeared to be common themes as to what properties of virtual worlds made them educationally useful. One was the collective learning and sharing of
information that lets students learn from teachers and other students alike. Virtual worlds also kept the students engaged with technology. They also encourage role playing, a valuable teaching tool. As virtual worlds are a subset of games, they too can be used as models for lessons and can encourage social interaction.

Polish Resume

This is my full resume translated into Polish. My wife tells me it is a literal translation, and as such might convey a slightly different meaning to Polish speakers.
