[learning] Greensboro Public Library
April 25th, 2008 Posted in classes, presentation, rl library | No Comments »
Friday I was asked to visit two branches of the Greensboro Public Library to talk to the staff and community members about Second Life and Teen Second Life. While it was offline during the second presentation, the first part we were able to go inworld and see how to navigate, what to visit, and what this has to do with libraries. Thanks to Jennifer Worrells from Greensboro for organizing the presentation and being such a great support for her staff to implement a virtual world as a service at their library. It was great to see the teens come in during the second presentation and ask how to get started.
