week 7 assignment #2 reflection of platform "Second Life"

The screenshot of my avatar in the SL Second Life (SL) is a fascinating virtual world but could be a burden to teachers too. Depending on the target students, e.g. age, gender, socioeconomic status , it has limitations when teachers want to implement, e.g. bandwidth, speed, and timeframe . The teachers need to know the functions and purpose clearly, or it's a time-consuming game and could be replaced by another approach. On the other hand, if teachers can provide well-design orientation for students, in SL students can explore endless possibilities . Through multimodality , students can 1) communicate with others by text/ chat; 2) detect the environment and take action by the symbols, signs' fonts, colors, and size . And these elements all pay the way for reading, writing, comprehension, social interaction, self-learning.

UDL Book Builder Project

My eBook is here! I made up this story because I hoped to remind our next generations that even virtual world was so charming, the real-world always open its arms welcoming you! I got the idea of having the combination of reading and writing from the teacher. I tried to make this eBook as a formal one that's why I put acknowledge, foreword and "For Teacher". The last page, I left the guidance for teachers as below. I design a question each page, you can have them write down or just oral sharing. Some topics are created to foster their virtues or reflect their lifestyle. Most of the pages are available to color or to add their touch.
