Announcing ANGEL Learning Isle!
For the past few months I’ve been working on a covert project for ANGEL Learning (www.angellearning.com). Together with their chief products officer, Ray Henderson, a few students, and with lots of input from SLED members, who were sworn to secrecy, we’ve developed Angel Learning Isle. The island is dedicated to providing space for SL educators new and experienced as well as easy-to-use tutorials for building and SL basics. The island features:
-
a friendly orientation garden with all the basics of getting around and communicating
-
a huge sandbox with a built in building tutorial
-
an educator’s tool gallery housing examples of free and inexpensive teaching tools such as white boards, slide shows, turn taking tools etc
-
classrooms on demand: simply type your name in a note card and drop it in the kiosk. the classroom pops up and announces who is using it. To remove the classroom just touch the kiosk again and “poof!” it’s gone.
-
dynamic seating area with arrangements for group work, small meetings, large groups, and media viewing
-
teleport gazebo with landmarks to other great education spots in SL (submit you landmark and screen shot to me to be added to the gazebo)
-
Angel Learning headquarters: here you can learn more about the Angel learning management system, meet up with other Angel users, or just hang out
We’re adding new info and items all the time so we hope you’ll come by and come back often.
To find the island just search for “Angel Learning Isle” on your region map. The island is open to both Angel users and non-Angel users.
