Mental notes on SL for further investigation
It’s late so just a few mental notes to return to later.
“The Library 2.0 has been working with the Library of Congress on a Declaration of Independence display that was officially announced and which opened yesterday on Info Island in Second Life. The exhibit includes dioramas, streamed audio, text in the form of larger-than-life documents and SL notecards, information kiosks and even period furniture.”Read about it here, and visit it here.
Walking among larger-than-life photo scans of the documents, listening to them being read aloud, browsing the text, and sitting in the period furniture…there’s something special about the immersiveness of this exhibit.
Secondly, I’ve just run across a Flickr Group devoted to depicting examples of Second Life and Education.
More to come on either or both of these I’m sure.
