Harlequined’s Weblog

I have barely dabbled in second life and I am very curious. I have set myself a goal to see this summer if I really think I can apply it and use it in school. I teach Drama in a private elementary school and we are what you might say “hip” or at least tech savvy, forward thinkers and always learning. It really is a wonderful environment to be in and this past year I have been lucky enough to work together with two colleagues in our ‘Tech Connect’ room (computer lab), so that we fully integrate technology and drama into the curriculum. It has been quite rewarding most of the time and I feel I have at least sewn some seeds for next year so that we can totally integrate with the curriculum.
So this leads me to the question is it really worth the time to learn and apply second life where I can in school? Is it a safe medium to be using with kids - K-12?  I am putting the question out there and I will continue to research to see if I can answer at least my curiosity? Please let me know your opinions or thoughts on this area. I hope to start a conversation with this while I learn.

This might seem to be a strange way to start my blog but not for me. You see my baby sister Liz has just been given a role in the upcoming New Broadway Show Billy Elliot. Of course I taught her everything she knows! No really she is very talented and very well trained. A graduate of CCM College Conservatory of Music at Cincinnati University.  She grew up both in England and Florida leaving England when she was about 14yrs and finished High School at Douglas Anderson School of The Arts right here in Jacksonville Florida.
