The British Council in Second Life

Today is my free morning and I am enjoying surfing the net, facebooking, twittering and of course, blogging! Unfortunatelly I cannot blog as often as I would like to due to my duties as ICT coordinator and teacher trainer. I have been pretty busy but really happy.

Exploring Second life is one of my postponed activities. By the way, I have found some information about the British Council in Second Life at http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/second-life

What can you do in the British Council Area in Second Life?

When you are on the British Council island, you can:

learn English in different ways

learn about the UK

This is very important:

Accounts are provided only to users when proof of age is given to the British Council
Provided accounts are strictly for use by teenagers
Second Life guidelines for teens can be found here: http://teen.secondlife.com/parents/safety

So, e-mailing was a solution for me. A really turning point took place in 2001 when I was invited to an on line course on " How to evalute websites" carried out by another Argentinean - Prof. Norma Scagnoli- working at the University of Illinois.

I bagan exploring the net and that same year I opened my firs e-group: English Virtual Community. My first steps on the Internet were really awful.
