Comments on: Case Western Reserve’s Virtual Campus http://www.storyofmysecondlife.com/?p=179 A K-20 educator's grant-funded, four- to six-month, fully-part-time (partially full-time?) immersion into and exploration of the world of "Second Life" Mon, 06 Sep 2010 16:34:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Kelly in Kansas http://www.storyofmysecondlife.com/?p=179&cpage=1#comment-160 Kelly in Kansas Wed, 16 May 2007 15:29:49 +0000 http://www.storyofmysecondlife.com/?p=179#comment-160 Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I'm working on a similar idea to take back to my university when I return to teaching in the fall. Even potential students in our own geographic backyard are still a bit intimidated by the university that many of their parents didn't attend and we sometimes forget that. I'm also excited about the potential for Angel Learning Isle - our university is in the process of moving from Blackboard to Angel and I'm hoping to integrate these experiences for students in the fall. Besides the opportunity to help pre-service teachers better understand the flexibility they have to have in order to be a successful teacher, Second Life will allow our commuter students to feel like they are more a part of the community - at least a slice of pie you experience with Walden.
