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
  • meet new friends throughout the world
  • have fun solving puzzles and problems
  • learn about the UK
  • improve your computer skills
This is very important:

  • It's free for all teenagers 13-17 years old
  • 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 
More important:
Graham Stanley is in charge of this project! You can contact him for further info at graham.stanley@britishcouncil.es

My first Meme (pingback and trackback)

I have friedns and family living abroad or in other cities, and they usually complain about the fact that I am pretty lazy for writing letters and going to the post office. 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.
