Second Life is a 3D virtual world in which the residents are provided with the tools required to lliterally shape the world around them. Teen Second Life is a space restricted to 13-17 year olds. Beginning in February, 2006, Global Kids has been exploring how to bring a youth development model around global issues into an island within this teen grid.
Second Life Insider's new podcast says they are looking forward (at 15:12) to Global Kids teens from the Virtual Video Project presentingtheir work at this August's Second Life Community Conference. So are we!
Listen to their report on the upcoming conference at here.
After two months of work with Main Grid designer Geuis Dassin, with help from Blue Linden, Global Kids has brought to the teen grid a top machinima camera.
Purchase it on the teen-run TSL Emporium.
We apologize for the cost, as we are dealing with the main grid economy. Please get your own copy and come over to Global Kids Machinima island and start filming!
Please tag anything you post on youtube.com as "globalkidsislandmachinima" and let us know!
Below you can watch a short video demonstration we made:
Eliane Alhadeff covered us recently in her blog Future Making Serious Games. In her post she writes about the launch of our brand new sim. :)
The text from her post is below.
Global Kids' Inspiring Launch: Serious Games IslandGlobal Kid's relentless production always amazes me.
This month marks Global Kid's one year anniversary in the teen grid and in celebration Global Kids has just purchased a third new island and named it the Global Kids Machinima Island!
At the same time, they have changed the existing Global Kids Island II, to the new Global Kids Serious Games Island, for those who like to play games in TSL and run gaming-related activities about important issues.
Moo Money from the main grid will be helping out and bringing over cool new stuff on the Machinima Island while Storm Basiat, the current GK Games Group leader, will be hosting games on the new gaming Island.
Both islands will develop communities that will support related after school programs while providing an environment to engage TSL residents around the same issues.
