[Idag] SecondLife contact info

[Marty Miller]

I'm game - I'd have to 'meet up' with everyone in the evenings so that I
can use my home computer.  There's a bandwidth issue that prevents me
from using it on campus.

Real Name: Marty Miller
SecondLife Name:  Marjit Martynov

Thanks,
Marty

Hey, again, everyone!

Looks like there's some interest in SecondLife, so I thought it would be
neat to meet 'in-world' for anyone interested. If you'd like to meet up
in SecondLife, let's get a contact list going with your 1st life name
(i.e. your everyday, real-life name), and your SecondLife name.

For example: 

Real Name: Suzi Mazzenga
SecondLife Name: Xirconnia Morphett

See you there! 

Suzi

Hello,
We are also just beginning our explorations of Second Life and would
find it helpful to have some ongoing discussion about it.

Hi Suzanne,

My head librarian and I are just starting to explore SecondLife as an
instructional tool.  I have an avatar and that's about as far as I've
gotten.  Recently I attended a virtual conference that talked a little
bit about using SecondLife in the class room.  I'd be happy to pass that
info on.  I'm on Spring Break right now, so I don't have my notes in
front of me, but I'll make a note to find them when I get back to my
office.

I'd be interested in any information that you receive from other list
members.

Thanks,
Marty

Hi, all!

In the spirit of reviving the list, as well as introductions, here I
go... :)

My name is Suzi Mazzenga, I'm an Instructional Design Specialist at a
college in Philadelphia. I've been researching 3D immersive technologies
(aka MUVEs) for new ways of both teaching and learning.

The best bet I've found so far seems to be SecondLife over Active Worlds
and others, since SecondLife is cross-platform compatible and seems to
be the buzz-creator in the news, hence more users.

After checking out some of the more extensive environments (such as Ohio
University's virtual campus) as well as the educator groups, I have to
say, I'm impressed. The uses of a virtual world are literally limitless.


So my question is kind of two-part. 

1. Does anyone have a SecondLife account and could we start an IDAG
group in SL?

2. Has anyone already begun implementing SL into their classrooms, and
how has the response been? Also, if already implementing, what are some
obstacles you've run into while implementing?

I look forward to everyone's responses! :)

Suzi
