After tonights class, I am more aware of the advantages and disadvantages of using virtual worlds within education. During Dr. Peter’s slideshow presentation on views about virtual worlds in education, we participated in a discussion by holding up red (disagree), yellow (not sure), or green cards (agree) to express our opinions. For slide 4 or 5, I kept changing my opinion from yellow to green. The question, was regarding educators using SL at a novice proficiency, if other traditional teaching methods were effective. I think if an educator is going to use SL as a teaching tool, they should have time to independently explore and design effective objectives for group instruction. SL is a great place to learn measurable and effective teaching methods through multiple mediums.
