A web application that "provides an online society within a 3D world, where users can explore, build, socialize and participate in their own economy." (www.secondlife.com)
"Dad, I'm in an imaginary room on the computer talking with people from the course I'm taking. Can I call you back later?"
And thus I explained SecondLife to my dad, who phoned while I was participating in our session. I said to my boyfriend that in under five minutes, I could be having a conversation with someone from Europe as normal as the one we were having at the kitchen table. It is truly a phenomena. This was also my discovery of the International Society for Technology Education (iste), in which I see myself becoming more involved.
My mind is moving faster than my fingers when it comes to putting thoughts down about my experience in SecondLife and potential ideas I've been having. Danger Karen, this feels like it could become addictive.
