Rude Folks in a Virtual World: Two Solutions

Location: Finished grading for week & shaking a dry Martini

Inspired by a lovely gent who really endeared himself to the Virtual Worlds Education Roundtable yesterday. I give you, gentle readers, two philosophies of moderation when a problem arises.

Option One:
The "Ladylike & California-Cool Olivia Method"

Option Two:
The "East-Coast Special"

About In a Strange Land

I'm Joe Essid, a faculty member at University of Richmond. I began exploring virtual worlds in January, 2007 and taught with Second Life and in OpenSim Grids until Spring, 2013, when I tossed in the towel on a technology I still don't find ready for prime-time, educationally or professionally. These ramblings began as sense-impressions of irreal spaces by a naif in Second Life. I wrote them for our local paper's Web site, and when the "hype era" about SL ended, I moved my musings over here to Blogger. My research and teaching focus on the history of communications technology. I've decided to revive this blog after 8 years of hiatus to consider generative AI and education, plus--who knows!--another splash into the strange land of Second Life.
