Three of my students in the English for Architecture and Urban Planning course created a very nice video for their final presentation, where they have integrated all the content studied in the trimester. Paris is the city they selected for their work. Enjoy!

Well, in the last two weeks, I have been venturing in a virtual world called Second Life (SL) At first, I went just for the curiosity of experiencing something new. Then, after my first trip, I was kind of frustrated because I don´t like to be somebody else. I always use my own name in the different places I visit on the Web, all of them are educational sites, Communities of Practice, or Web 2.0 tools that I use in my teaching. The fact that I had to be represented by an avatar to which I had to give a last name (my last name was not among the choices presented), did not sound appealing. Anyway, I tried, learned to walk and fly in this world, which is amazingly huge. I flew over museums, theaters, libraries, beaches, boats, mountains, just to mention a few. Of course, I fell down, bumped against walls, was thrown out of places where I was not supposed to be, in short, a true adventure. I loved the music, and hated the ads (it is a commercial place, no doubt). I was really doubtful of its usefulness as a learning space. Some days later, I attended a webcast at Worldbridges, well, actually virtualbridges about Second Life, and I met an architect who was talking about a hotel being built in SL, I could not believe it. He shared two blogs with me, and after reading them, I decided I was going to do something about architecture in relation to virtual worlds, and that´s how my unit on the Metaverse and its contribution to architectural and urban planning design originated. It is not ready yet, but it is in-process.
These are some photos taken at EduNation in Second Life (click on the image)
Enjoy,
Daf
