Notes page They are not just for students. Teachers must engage in professional growth & leadership in a virtual environment. We can model digital age work & learning while meeting educators from all over the world. Teachers learn in a rich 3-D landscape to meet, network and collaborate with educators in a global professional learning community. We will explore the educational value and real life benefits in Second Life.


 * "Participating via my customized avatar identity within a rich 3-D landscape has provided me opportunities to meet, network, and collaborate with outstanding educators in a global professional learning community. I have developed meaningful, substantive relationships that carry just as much significance to me as their “real world” counterparts" (Peggy Sheehy, SL: Maggie Marat [|http://www.techlearning.com/article/15148)]

And learning within the context of a group is motivating, with shared ideas and support making the difference in really understanding and applying what is learned ( [|http://www.techlearning.com/article/8090)]
