GREAT post Aniya,

Your enthusiasm just leaps off the page and like everything you touch, will be very successful. I really loved seeing the pictures especially. I don’t use 2nd Life mainly because I’m worried about falling in love with it the way you and Shelly have!

and happy almost birthday

Hi,
Never heard of this SL before, but it sure sounds intriguing. I teach elementary school children, second language learners mostly, in Los Angeles, and I would be interested in finding better ways to help them. Further, I might return to Italy in the near future and would love to know more about what you do. I know how the pioneers always work harder…. but they get paid back with lots of gratitude from the followers:-) So, thanks for your kindness and let me know more details if you can. ciao

Thank you Laine and Elt cafe for your comments, I am glad to have stirred up some interest from you both. I hope you will contact me on Second Life, I will offer you both coffee at my place, or remember the birthday bash, it would be great to see new (SL faces)

Your post has prompted me to give Second Life a shot myself! I can see how English language learning could break the barriers of a traditional classroom. Thanks for the tips!

You do make Second Life sound attractive indeed. Have heard rumblings in the background but only really paid attention when teachers started tweeting about it, I reckon if committed teachers are giving a heads-up to an online ‘game’ well…it’s worth looking into, this post sealed the deal.Thanks!

Thanks for your comments (girlies) lol @Shelly I am still waiting for my students comments, he got bogged down with work (actually perhaps he got lost in Second Life ha ha and I will be having another student this week so I will wait and then post up in part 2 which is an excuse to do another post lmao
@Barbara thank you too, well I write what I think, whoever is curious will try, so take or leave it, I understand that not all teachers will like this, but I believe that there are probably many more who would like to but just don’t know how, and I really think SL can be daunting joining it alone. I was really interested in SL when i heard about it a few years ago but knew no one to show me the ropes…

You make Second Life sound so attractive! If I weren’t already a resident, I’d definitely ask you for one of your free orientation lessons (What a wonderful idea, by the way!).

I look forward to seeing how your lessons develop with this new addition. I’m sure you’re going to do great things!

What a great post! I really like the photo, because it shows how students can engage in Second Life worlds. Did your student have any comments on the experience or will this be your next post?
