thanks be to God :-)
my presentation proposal for this year's Second Life Community Convention (SLCC) has been accepted :-)
the presentation is entitled 'Developing adolescents' map literacy with Second Life', and it's part of the convention's Public Sector and Education track (ably chaired by Shirley Marquez-Dulcey).
here's the description of the presentation:
This session describes a project carried out in some state-funded schools in Singapore earlier this year, in which Grade 7 students learned certain concepts of geography and the earth sciences using Second Life. The students were able to apply their newly-acquired map literacy to reading and analysing traditional paper-based topographical maps.
if you possibly can, please do join me in Oakland this August :-)
