Activites Today (Jan 18):

virtual-worlds:
First today I joined a tour in Second Live to view some learning places. We started at the Webhead headquarters. Some people still have problems using their voice but finally most of our group of 20 people could hear our tour guide speaking.

We visited Illinois State University and had a look at their geology exhibition. The exhibition is interactive, that means, people can click on things and they will give additional information or they will start an animation to make geological effects visible to the visitor.

After that, we visited Maria Curie-Sklodowska University in SL which is a virtual replica of the original in Poland. Our guide took us to the Library which is also an exact replica of the original.

Our last station was Montclair State University. Unfortunately, my voice broke down at this point and after I got it back, the tour was over. Anyway, I could have a look at their 3D taxonomy model that is also interactive for the visitors.

After that, there was a live presentation with Mike about his real-english.com website and the lessons he offers there. Very informative. The meeting was recorded and Mike ~~will post the link to the recording soon~~ has posted the recording here: Mike's meeting.
