Interview with Milosun: How NOT to Teach in Second Life
I was particularly interested in this article because of the chat that took place regarding “ready-to-use” teaching tools. As part of a listserv I receive a large number of e-mails regarding teaching tools in Second Life. The tools mentioned are those that are free and also those available for purchase. As a new user I am anxious to look and try out teacher tools that are available with the goal of having more knowledge so the creation can from my end! However, as a starting point I need to learn to effectively evaluate teaching tools that area available, particularly, the benefit they might have for my role in education.
In the article, Milosun points out that SL makes the digital divide wider, not narrower. This is a comment I would like to explore further.
Of course, the question remains of any technology tool, is there a true benefit in teaching and learning the content?
I certainly agree with the comment made by Kevin Suisei in that the best tool is the well-training/experienced teacher!
