[sl] Summer Program Begins with U.S. Holocaust Museum
Global Kids was very excited today to kick off our summer program with the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
This summer Global Kids will work with a subset of their larger ambassador teen program to design and created an exhibit in Teen Second Life based on what they are learning through their program at the Museum.
For this first workshop this morning we introduced ourselves and the project to the 37 teens in the Ambassador program. One teen, Melanie, met us in Second Life, where we spoke by typing in the public chat and (we were told) the teens in D.C. could read what we were saying. Melanie followed us around and showed videos for us on YouTube.
Afterwards we met with the core group of 8 - Melanie still met with us in Second Life, showing on the screen, but this time we spoke to each other through a conference call.
We covered the Global Kids guidelines (pictured below), discussed the scope of the project, and mostly got to know each other better with some games.
We had some tech problems in the beginning - but what distance program doesn't - and overall got off to a great start!
