Week 7 -2

The Second Life is really a wonderful online tool to enhance engagement and interaction between students and students, between students and instructors. It allows students to experience social interactions in the game. In class, it may be used to help students view things that are not common in our reali life. It can also help studetns enhance their 3D sense. It may also help become familiar with modern technology and new literacy. The students can each play a role and interact with each other to solve one particular problem.

    Hi Joyee, I do believe the SL can increase the interactions among students and teachers and enhance the capability of application of technology. But to me, it's really threatening if I can't catch up the trend, don't you think so?

    I agree. Using SL can probably help students learn how to operate non-traditional technology tools. I'm glad that SL had a tutorial to help users get adjusted to this virtual environment because I found it a little difficult to navigate. However, students can utilize all the forums and dialogue boxes to help them with a question or concern.

Week 7-1

In the article “Theories and Practices of Multimodal Education: The Instructional Dynamics of Picture Boks and Primary Classrooms”, the author illustrates how multimodal is important in classroom education. It can offer students with multiple elements, such as color, visual, video, sound, etc. It also evaluates the practices that are possible in classroom. This article is really important and refreshing for me. It allows me to understand how I can apply the concept of multimodality in my future teaching. It also tells me how such practices can be effective and attractive for students. In the article “Using the ADDIE Model to Design Second Life Activities for Online Learners”, the authors point out the importance of using SL in classroom.
