Second Life: Mzazi Bonetto
Wanting to peer and glimpse the future of human interaction, I have signed onto second life
My Avatar is Mzazi Bonetto. THis virtual world reminds me of the Krucible environment.
I think a lot of pupils are already familiar with the concept of virtual worlds through their use of gaming.
Could this be where gaming meets education? Anyhow i am going to sign up for a basic account perhaps
$6 a month. There is is an iniatal learning curve (tutorials to follow). When I saw the programme on virtual
worlds they spoke to real life participants; there was a married couple who met in second life, there was the
real estate seller who trades and makes a living in second life. There was also the furniture maker who
. They interviewed Rebok and the way in which second lifers could sample trainers and have them made in real life.
For my part as an educator I am naturally interested in the possibilities for education: A virtual schools, lessons in science?
I will post updates on my progress as Mzazi Bonetto.
