Tim Wang's eLearning Blog

Yes, I have to confess, I do have a second life. My second life started early this year in the virtual world known as “Second Life” created by Linden Lab. It is a multi-person, real-time interactive 3D space where hundreds and thousands of real people controlled avatars interact with each other in the simulated dimension. Second Life has created many interesting phenomenas in the real world economy, society and education industry.

I am still a newbie in Second Life and am learning many new skills (scripting, 3D modeling, in world texturing...) in this simulated world. What bugs me now is every time I look out of windows of my high rise apartment, I want to “fly” out... Just joking...

Both me and my avatar belongs to an education consortium – NMC (New Media Consortium). Today we had a great poster session in the virtual world of Second Life. Here are some screen shots from the session. Stay tuned, you will be hearing a lot more stories from my second life on this blog.
