Oz Island, Teen Second Life

It’s Here! A new space for teens to go!

 

Oz Island, the TSCPL space on the teen grid of Second Life gets it first inhabitants today. We Oz Island beachhave anticipated for weeks the “coming live” of OZ Island. For next few weeks Oz Island will be a closed society while the pilot group of students from Hope Street Academy have the first lessons in building and creating a virtual world. The instructors are Dr Marcus Childress, Chair, Instructional Design and Technology at Emporia State University and his graduate assistant, Howard West.  David Antonacci from KU Med Center will join the students virtually.

hello, my name is Jackson, and I am a member of the digital boot camp. It has been a great experience, it's not too hard, you can get dragon wings for yourself, superhero costume, you can wear an animal costume! I definitely recommend this program, and an inside tip, the homework center computers have second life on them to play, and the sign-up steps are brutally hard to complete, but it's worth it in the end, it is a great program. to show you how intuitive this program is, I made a DNA strip, colored the sides differently, made it shiny, made it look like bumped metal, made it spin around, and it had a second life clock above it, does that make any sense? No! But you can do it in second life. Just remember, you have to be 13-17 to do the program, but if you are older you can log on to the adult grid, it is so fun, you'll love it. Jackson
