I tried it a few years ago, but the bandwidth was not good enough then. Now might be a good time to start trying as there have been big improvements in connectivity since then. As far as collaborative learning goes, SL is a real winner.

They are faster than I am with certain aspects. With technology becoming more advanced than ever before, it is important for us to challenge our students and prepare them for their future workplace. Great post. <br />AngieAngie Molpushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738062190302170078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678911069245549282.post-13828900668217266952010-04-03T14:44:41.419-07:002010-04-03T14:44:41.419-07:00Laura,

I think that using cooperative learning is one way to help students learn skills that they will need to be successful in their lives. Communication and working with people are possibly the two most important skills students need after graduation. Allowing students the opportunity to learn and use these skills during school is a great way to help prepare them for their future. <br /><br />Technology is changing rapidly; I am sure that we will need to continue our education in order to provide a quality education for our students. I was not aware of the web-enabled multiplayer simulation games. I will be looking into how I can incorporate them into my classroom. <br /><br />Have a good week,<br /><br />CarolynCarolyn Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14154047342113107493noreply@blogger.com
