[press] Educators Get a ‘Second Life’

The June 18th article of Education Week online entitled Educators Get a ‘Second Life’, spotlights Second Life and the educational opportunities it has as a virtual learning environment. Andrew Trotter, the author, also spotlights TSL focused educational spaces like Ramapo and Global Kids.


Another major provider on the Teen Grid is Global Kids Inc., a nonprofit group based in New York City that runs after-school programs and hosts activities on Teen Second Life for teenagers at the city’s schools as well as other places.

Activities include service projects, such as raising money for humanitarian aid to the Darfur region of Sudan, and making short movies, called “machinima,” that are filmed on locations and movie sets on the Teen Grid.
