More education. Less schooliness.

Suffern Middle School in Second Life: Of Mice and Men Annotated

Wow. I’ve dinked with Second Life a bit, and it’s in the back of my mind. But seeing what this middle school classroom did with a Second Life trial of Lenny in Steinbeck’s _Of Mice and Men_ makes me want to plan for it sooner. Did I say “Wow”? From the site:

The roles were assigned by the Ms. McGrath on Friday - and an outline of the project was distributed to the students in order that they understand their roles and responsibilities. The excitement in each class was contagious! These kids have all had some experience in Second Life prior to this project as they have already completed a Social Studies project (immigration and Ellis Island) and a math project (The Geo Gallery).
