Second Life Revisited

I took a stroll back through second life to a place called Eagle Island.  It was a very neat place, especially for an Auburn fan like me.  I took a tour of some on the builds and sights that the island had to offer.   I started off my tour of the island by just flying around to get a birds eye view of what was going on.

I then stopped my the ampitheatre to see what was going on.  I next went to the "Poutry Pride" where I popped a squat on the ground.  Then I went to watch a slideshow about the poultry industry and to the egg processing facility.  Finally after a long day of fly, walking, running, sitting, standing and jumping I decided to end my day at the beach on the hammock.

All and all I'd say it was a pretty good day in Second Life.  While I was doing these things I was trying to think of how I could use something like this in my classroom.  The slideshow about the poultry industry was probably the thing with the most direct teaching which I though could be useful in my virtual classroom but that is not the only thing I though I could use.  I though about what I would want to include on Geometry Island.  I think that the architecture alone could be a geometry lesson in itself.  I'm eager to jump back in soon and explore what mathematical world are already created in Second Life.
