I'm glad you found the lesson material useful. It's one of the only "complete" lessons (lesson plan, planning, video, reflection) I'm aware of online, which is why I included it. I'd be interested to know what your trainees think of it :-) Thanks, Marisa. I’m glad you found the lesson material useful.

Special thanks for posting your pre & post lesson-planning reflections as well as the plan you produced. I will be sharing this to my trainees as a great example of the thought processes involved in planning lessons - and not just lessons for use in Second Life. A very interesting post, Barbara.

I never had a real life teacher's lounge as lovely as the Chateau. I appreciate your sharing it with us! By the way, YOU were the more experienced teacher from the US I mentioned. Not all teachers need to have certificates--sometiimes they are mentors, like you :) Thanks, Caliburn. I never had a real life teacher’s lounge as lovely as the Chateau.

I think some of your readers might be interested in knowing the "teacher's lounge" location, Chateau de Tuite (SLurl: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Isla%20Susanto/25/194/32), and the associated Ning community (http://chateaudetuite.ning.com). There is, after all, a well-furnished 3-story Victorian club house to lounge, chat, and have meetings in, in addition to the gazebo pictured and a large patio area for dancing and practicing Second Life® skills. Not to mention an experienced SL® mentor (which, as you know, would be me). ;-) Thanks for hosting the meeting yesterday, everyone had a good time chatting for quite a long while! Cheers!
