Assignment # 2

This is a snapshot from Second Life. In this scene I was exploring Australia.
After talking with a few teachers from the school I sub in, we came up with several different ways SecondLife can be incorporated into ELA instruction. To start, the ability to travel to a variety of destinations is a wonderful feature when learning about different countries. The students can be asked to travel to one of the listed destinations and then write about what the discovered while exploring that destination. Furthermore, as the students are navigating through Second Life many pop ups come up that requires them to read and act upon. This clearly incorporates reading comprehension. Both of these suggestions can easily be done and they touch upon the concept of multimodality.
