Great work, Malkie! I agree with you that it could take a while to teach students how to use the technology rather than go directly to the actual learning. However, once students know how to use the technology, they could use it numerous times and have the time to focus on the actual learning.
Your presentation was well presented and clear. I agree with the issue you brough up in your second slide. A lot of class time is focused on figuring out the technology tool, and less of actual learning goes on....

Another way to have ELA go along with SL is, when you teach your class a unit in English SL can be used to explore different places and things that go along with your unit. This will help the students get a super clear picture of what they are learning. Using Second Life can really benefit your ELA les...

It is important that students should not just learn the traditional way, this new way of learning is needed for everyone student as this is the literacy of the world now. Students must know how to communicate using email, text and chats, know how to use search engines, and more. Though almost all classroom have computers and technology for the students to use, they do not go into use for a lot of the time. This is because teachers are nervous for various different reasons to use technology in their lessons. One teacher, Mr. Todd has used lots of technology in the classroom.

Article 2: Students must learn using new litera...
