Krill: Second Life Educational Events, World University and School Courses, Language Learning Opportunities

Added Second Life educational events to World University and School courses: worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Courses


*

Added a lot of new languages - One Laptop per Child languages - from Rwanda, Ethiopia, Colombia, Haiti, Mexico, Peru, USA (Birmingham, Alabama), Uruguay, Afghanistan, Mongolia, Cambodia, & Papua New Guinea ... . I'm especially interested in the languages in these countries with small populations ... (Papua New Guineau has around 860 languages; Indonesia, Nigeria, India, Vanatu and the Democratic Republic of Congo also have a lot of languages! - vistawide.com/languages/20_countries_most_languages.htm).

Here's OLPC news - olpcnews.com


To have a university and school as an open, editable wiki, in all languages on the web is a wild idea. And to have it done with skill and excellence will benefit a lot of people.

World University and School will focus on this.

Here's a weekly German language class (Tuesdays at 7 am Pacific time / Second Life time) and the Language Get-Together (Sprachstunde) at the Goethe Institut in Second Life on weekday mornings at 8 am Pacific time / Second Life time - slurl.com/secondlife/Goethe%20Institut/128/128/2. (You'll need to get a free avatar to visit Second Life).

There are so many teaching and learning opportunities, thanks to the Internet, as well as the potential for both openness and to make these processes very fun.

But about loving bliss ...
