Teaching in Second Life

Comments are welcome

Comments on my blog and the lesson plans are very welcome. However, please, keep in mind that this is my first experience with teaching in Second Life. As far as I know, there is no other such project where an SL language teacher makes their lessons plans and reflections on their teaching available to public scrutiny. This is not an easy step, especially as it is also my business and this is like giving away internal business information for free. People get fired for this ;) However, I hope this will help me improve and will help other (future) SL language teachers get started more easily and offer quality lessons in SL. My intention is also to lead by example and I hope that other teachers will follow suit.

Your comments and constructive criticism will make this project more valuable.

Language teachers are welcome to use the lessons and provide feedback on how they worked out.

Tip 5 – All class members and teacher are friends

Posted by Nergiz Kern on July 15, 2008

All course participants should be asked to add everybody else including the teacher to their friends list. This is necessary for pair and group work or when students need to be teleported* or teleport others. Also, outside of class, they can keep in touch and practise together or help each other with questions and problems.

*It’s time that the spell checker recognises the word “teleport” and it’s derivatives
