Week 5

More and more interesting technology tools are being exposed to us ! I'm glad I joined this module. Today the class is very interesting. We did our very own account in Secondlife.com . It is an educational website where lecturers and fellow classmates and so does the rest of institutional mates can communicate in a simulation world online while being surrounded by educational surroundings.



The virtual world graphics are very attractive and nicely done. Besides infographs, Secondlife is also an educational tool that helps student to be more attracted to learning. Instead of just being in the class, facing either textbook or whiteboards, students can now learn greatly with Secondlife. In Secondlife, lectures can post notes and studying materials. This is more convenient as students can open their notes anywhere they are with their gadgets. In brief, it suits the modern and and fully technology world better !

However, there is always advantage and disadvantage on an issue. With the cool virtual world that allows everyone to create an account and customize their own people, the disadvantage is students especially girls might spend more of their time customizing and focusing on the beauty and fashion of their sims rather than focusing on the main objective which is to LEARN.

Nevertheless, I believe if the students are being educate and constantly reminded on the main purpose of this educational tool, the problem can be dissolved.
