  2. VirtualPREX: Virtual Professional ExperienceALTC (OLT) Grant 2010-2012 • Assist students in acquiring a better range of professional skills and confidence before being placed in a real life classroom. • Provide diverse professional experience options for students. • Create awareness about virtual worlds as a pedagogical and social networking tool. • Compare different methods of interaction to enhance student learning and teaching.

  3. Today • Role-play in a virtual world as either: • Teacher (present a seven to ten (7-10) minute teaching episode or idea on teaching – focusing on your preferred KLA) • Primary School Student (please see the roles provided) • Speak at all times in Chat or use audio as instructed • Teacher – please use audio features of Second Life

  4. Your Lesson as the Teacher • Your lesson is not being judged • It does not matter if it doesn’t work • Please just immerse yourselves in your character • Please ignore spelling mistakes or bad grammar

  5. Instructions Sloodle HUD – you will be given instructions as to which gesture you have to use in the role-plays

  6. Further Instructions • Please raise your hand if you wish to ask a question using the Sloodle HUD. • Please raise your hand in response to the teacher raising their hand (when they are attempting to get the class’s attention), using the Sloodle HUD.

  7. Further Instructions • Remember to respect the avatar • Leave avatar as it was found – do not change anything – do not take the avatar elsewhere • Keep the avatar in the classroom • Keep to protocols of a real classroom – watch what you say

  8. Further Instructions • Respect your classmates. • Please note the length of time you are off-task (20% of the time only). That is approximately 1.25 minutes of the total time of the role-play. • Give the teacher a fair go just as you would expect when it is your turn to be teacher.
