Richard D Solomon, PhD commented on Phil Liff-Grieff's blog post New Pilot Project Using Second Life for Israel Education"@ Phil and Deborah: Would you be open to giving interested members of the JECN a tour of Second Life for Israel Education at some point in the future? I'd love to attend? Richard"
Phil Liff-Grieff commented on Phil Liff-Grieff's blog post New Pilot Project Using Second Life for Israel Education"Marci,
The other point one should consider is that Second Life is an open platform where avatars freely wander in and out of areas. Once, when I was in Second Life Israel, for example, an avatar named "Nakba1948" walked by.
We are creating…"
Deborah Nagler commented on Phil Liff-Grieff's blog post New Pilot Project Using Second Life for Israel Education"SL Israel most certainly does. And there is a Jewish Neighborhood in SL with several synagogues, a Kotel replica & a mikveh. They hold a candle lighting ceremony in the main synagogue every week and often have a Torah study group or holiday…"

Phil Liff-Grieff commented on Phil Liff-Grieff's blog post New Pilot Project Using Second Life for Israel Education"To add some clarity to this discussion, imagine an environment where the learner takes on an avatar that can then roam about a closed three dimensional environment freely. They can explore objects by walking around them, can walk into rooms and pick…"
Deborah Nagler commented on Phil Liff-Grieff's blog post New Pilot Project Using Second Life for Israel Education"that didn't work out as planned. I will try again MUVE = 3D, Avatar navigated, open-ended
Flash = 2D, mouse or key board navigated, programmed outcome
both could have a social component, but it is always present in an MUVE both could have…"
Deborah Nagler commented on Phil Liff-Grieff's blog post New Pilot Project Using Second Life for Israel Education"Multi-user Virtual Environment Flash 3D 2D
Avatar as navigator mouse click or other
Open-ended experience programmed outcome
Does this help?"
Richard D Solomon, PhD commented on Phil Liff-Grieff's blog post New Pilot Project Using Second Life for Israel Education"Deborah,
Please say more about the differences between MUVE and a flash program. Thank you!
Richard"
Deborah Nagler commented on Phil Liff-Grieff's blog post New Pilot Project Using Second Life for Israel Education"Interactive programs are great, but MUVE are a different animal - immersive, 3D."
Deborah Nagler commented on Phil Liff-Grieff's blog post New Pilot Project Using Second Life for Israel Education"SvivaIsrael is not an MUVE. It is a flash program. Still it is interesting to see."
Emily Aronoff Teck commented on Phil Liff-Grieff's blog post New Pilot Project Using Second Life for Israel Education"yes, thanks. I had never heard of anything like this before."
Richard D Solomon, PhD commented on Phil Liff-Grieff's blog post New Pilot Project Using Second Life for Israel Education"Is this link helpful? http://ecocamp.us/

@Emily, Is this helpful?

We are beginning a pilot project that uses the Second Life platform to "gamify" Israel education in the complementary school. BJE is working with Johanna Sohn, the Education Director at Adat Ari El congregation, Los Angeles and Simnik to create a 3 dimensional virtual build and curriculum that will provide 5th…
