EDSD 453 at MSU visits Second Life
A methods of teaching art class at Montana State University got a short trip into Second Life to explore the possibilities of art instruction in a 3D virtual learning environment. Students were sent to jacksonpollock.org and instructed to spend one minute creating a work that was uniquely their own using that tool which imitates another artist's technique. They cropped with Jing and uploaded into Second Life, where a group evaulation was held in text chat before we all took a tour of some of that virtual world's many art galleries. The gallery they created can be seen in a Flickr photoset.

Bill,
Thank you for posting this. I am eager to see more examples of how Second Life is used in the classroom as a tool to enhance student learning.
Those avatars do not look freshly rezzed. Are those the students' own personal avatars, or are they part of a generic stock you keep to allow novices easy access to Second Life?
Keep up the great work.
Pluton
