Fantastic intro to the value of Virtual Worlds for learning, collaboration and fun!

Thanks to Leonie Ramondt for this fab image and powerpoint

I would thoroughly recommend this presentation by Leonis Ramondt on the value of MMORPG's fpr learning, collaboration, and fun. http://homepage.mac.com/leonie.ramondt1/Sites/mmorpgs&learning.htm Ironically I'm not a great fan of MMORPG's, mainly because of the kinds of quests involved, but I am utterly sold on their value, thanks to this presentation. My only hope now is that in the near future other quests will start to emerge that don't involve killing or defeating, and that they'll find a way to integrate physical exercise and natural sunlight!

Gaming in a Play-World

SLGames.jpg


Something I'm always struggling with: How to find the good stuff in Second Life. Surely in a play world I should have stumbled on a few unusual games by now? I haven't! SecondLife need some kind of 3D Google to help us all get around....for the moment, I rely on the 2D web, and in particular the Second Life Games blog which provides a comprehensive synopsis of all the great games you can play in your Second Life.
