Schome Park

Peter Twining from the OU emailed:

' I thought you might be interested in the story of Schome Park (the schome community island in the Teen Grid) which is told in cartoon form here :

The schome community website (http://www.schome.ac.uk/) includes a substantial amount of info about Second Life and the members of the community (which includes students from Schome Park) are very knowledgeable about it and keen to share their expertise. If you are interested in exploring the potential of Second Life with your students then do get in touch -

The schome community also has an island in the Main Grid which we would be happy for folk to use with their students (we would need to coordinate this use!) - and we are currently extending the population and activities on Schome Park (which is depicted in the cartoon) and if you are interested in exploring ways in which you and/or your students might get involved then get in touch.'

So, if you are interested in Second Life applications to education then Peter could be your man !
