Virtual World – Second Life
Second Life is a three-dimensional virtual community created entirely by its membership. Members assume an identity and take up residence in Second Life, creating a customized avatar or personage to represent themselves. The avatar moves about in the virtual world using mouse control and intuitive keyboard buttons.
Second Life’s virtual world also includes sound; wind in the swaying trees, babbling brooks, audible conversation, and built-in chat and instant messaging. Residents buy property, start businesses, game with other residents, create objects, join clubs, attend classes, or just hang out. The rendering of Second Life is remarkable, making it an instant guilty pleasure. Further Reading.
I have just created my account, my user name is Krish Bluebird and I m looking into exploring it more in detail. Sarah shared her experience using Second Life – for virtual birthing unit. I think it’s quite amazing the kind of things you can do with these virtual platform. Looking forward in experimenting with it further.
Cheers

Sorry, Krishan, I didn't realise I had missed this post about SL. What do you think would be the issues facing you as a facilitator in SL?
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I would be concerned if facilitating in SL - would be geting familiar to the environment of SL and using it - or at least attending some sesion with someone bit experienced.
It seems to be really cool tool to discover more, and I wouldnt mind going through the Virtual Birth Unit that you are working with, its sounds quite interesting to me.
Cheers
Krishan
