Roleplaying in Education



This evening I had a chance to attend a conference that included a fantastic discussion about Roleplaying in education, and how Second Life might fit in. It was held in the ISTE's skypark. The discussion feel into several different components, but he covered topics around historical roleplaying, "Never Land" roleplaying, and science roleplaying. The presenters name is Wainbrave Bernal. His note card was fantastic and covered almost everything that was discussed. I would recommend heading to ISTE to see if you can find it after the event.

It was interesting to see the diversity of educators in the session. I mean there was a Dragon in the back row!!! As was pointed out in so many other blogs, educators need to do something different to catch students attention, and if that means your avatar is a furry or a dragon, then it might help.
