3c. SECOND LIFE Mrs. Duprey presented an overvi ew of the 40 minute course she has

PRESENTATION: started this year on virtual worlds, putting our school on the cutting edge

CYNTHIA DUPREY of technology. She explain ed that Second Life is a MUVE (

ulti-

ser

irtual

nvironment). Owned by Lyndon Labs, it is a compute r virtual

world inhabited by 7 million people. There are fou r BOCES owned closed

sims, and BOCES determines who can be on the system , insuring the

safety of students. NR-W is the only school present ly in the BOCES region

using this. Unlike a game that is programmed for y ou to play, the tools are

given to you to create the environment yourself. You create your own

avatar (the character representing you), and all NR-W avatars are

“dropping in” or entering the virtual world in the same designated place.

Avatars learn to talk, fly, and can change their ap pearance. An example of

its use was presented in a power point presentation . The use of open and

closed sims was discussed. The Alliance Library System has an open sim

that we are not allowed to use at this time, called “In the Land of Lincoln”.

This is a recreation of 1864 Illinois, where you ca n be placed back in time

on the streets of Illinois, and talk to Lincoln if you wish. Other open

educational grids are to be expected in the future. Mrs. Duprey

recommends that the Board develop a policy for the District on virtual

worlds.
