Matt CrosslinThank You! Quote of the Day

Posted by: Matt Crosslin In: Current Events| Second Life

Jean-Claude Bradley (e-learning coordinator for the College of Arts and Sciences, and an associate professor of chemistry, at Drexel University):

“There’s a misconception out there that students are very tech-savvy and following all these blogs and wikis and Second Life. That’s not true. The vast majority have never been [to Second Life].”

I’ve been ranting for a while on the whole digital native myth. Glad to see that I am not the only one that sees it.

The rest of the story is also very interesting:

Thanks for the mention! We do need to keep reporting things as they are, not as the hype would suggest.

And thanks for dropping by our site. I failed to mention in the post that the rest of the article is also a very informative look at how to evaluate if Second Life is a good tool for a specific course or not. We need more articles like this for more online tools out there.
