Refocusing - Virtual Worlds
August 7th, 2008 by trottahe
In looking at K-12 using virtual worlds, I am reminded that I have really just focused on one virtual world, that of Second Life. We all know that there is only so much time in a day yet I keep thinking that the best use of my lunch time, other than a walk on the campus, would be to broaden my knowledge in other platforms. To be current, I really need to be more aware of what is happening in the business end of virtual worlds and to start to investigate these environments by reading and attending more online virtual conferences.
Up-and-coming platforms include Google’s Lively and the Webflock by the Electric Sheep company are good places to start
. More to come later as I broaden my focus …
