With the Canadian Border Patrol, these folks are working to land a career, and protect real lives. The Whyville students are doing classwork for a grade. The WoWers are there for recreational purposes. This changes the (big D) Discourse of the community. Like that of the youtubers and facebookers, the incentive and consequences are a world apart from those using second life as on the job training or students getting a grade.Jeffrey Kaplanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480367675018379993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946891245685136175.post-58200292688977461062010-03-24T20:12:03.695-07:002010-03-24T20:12:03.695-07:00I have to agree with you that MUVEs, due to the fa...I have to agree with you that MUVEs, due to the fact that are inmersive tools, open a more engaging channel for class discussion and almost unrestricted participation. Nevertheless, when you said "it could seem that without the face-to-face interaction (such as the WoW example) there isn't a fear of being seen as a fool for asking "silly" questions or giving "silly" answers", it inmediately took me back to the "free and unrestricted" participation that I have seen on youtube, facebook, online forums, etc. I feel that it is easy to fall into the impression that the freedom offered by virtual environments is always positive. Virtual environmets involve a whole new type of human interaction, and it's important to take that into account when introducing MUVEs into an educational environment.Computación y Sociedadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02770380863066505235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946891245685136175.post-20306875795795057342010-03-24T13:04:25.956-07:002010-03-24T13:04:25.956-07:00Steve-o -

Once again we see that the technology can spur deep learning, but that doesn't mean the learning takes place only when people are directly using the technology. It's a little like the models we are working on for this class - dreaming up the models certainly gets our brains going, but it's the discussion and reflection around the models that really stretches our brains.Maggie Riccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00158916131885884424noreply@blogger.com
