Dewey Decimal System Signs
WHAT IS IT?
A directory of educational Second Life locations organized using the Dewey Decimal System. By using this familiar system, even instructors new to Second Life can find educational content for their field of study easily. In Second Life, you can view the collection as a series of signs inside the large building next to the sandbox.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Right now if you click on a sign in the collection you will receive a teleport to the location. This is helpful, but we want to make it even better. That's where you come in. We are asking members to lend their expertise in their field of study by writing a short "tour guide" note card to be placed in each sign. Write directions that visitors can follow when they arrive at the new location. Where should they go? What are the "must see" areas of the location? How do you think it might be useful in the classroom?
HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE?
Add your name to one or more of the locations below.
Visit the site and write a Second Life notecard.
Give the notecard to Alan Peterka (Kale Somme) or Kit Umscheid (KitUmscheid Writer) in Second Life to include in the collection.
(If you identify your own location, simply add it to the list with your name.)
