Abstract


I have been developing new ways to use SL's technology ie building, textures, digital photos and painting to enable students and clients to do problem solving by creating symbolic representations of the self, an idea or a challenge and to work directly with the creation for increased insight, awareness and options.

I will do a few demos showing students how to make use of SL tools and we will discuss  various applications for teachers and students involved in meaning-making curricula such as philosophy, psychology, or any learning situation in which participants are free to explore ideas and creative solutions to problems.
