Just what IS “Second Life” People voluntarily create online virtual worlds... Travel Art/museums Fantasy/role play Sports Theater Shopping Worship Agencies/Services Nasties

You and your “avatar” You can change your avatar at will… This is the same avatar! Control over Dress Gender Age Race Ethnicity Ability Species!

You and your “avatar” You can move your avatar at will… Gestures

You and your “avatar” You can move your avatar at will… Gestures Walking

You and your “avatar” You can move your avatar at will… Gestures Walking Flying

Functioning in a virtual world Remember what the Web was like in 1994? This is about as challenging! Be prepared for a belligerent learning curve with crummy documentation! Cut yourself some slack! Your students too! Get a mentor! Make friends with librarians, teckies, and gamers! Connect in both “SL” and “RL” peers, listservs, wikis, blogs, youtube!

Potential conversations Theoretical concepts Social and individual identity, neighborhoods, control Practice concepts Professional boundaries, self-awareness, professional use of self Research concepts Participant observation, reflective ethnography Degrees of abstraction The “medical textbook illustration” issue Implications for distance education Many distance education possibilities
