Public Forum to Explore Kids’ Learning in Virtual Worlds, Los Angeles and Second Life

From http://spotlight.macfound.org/main/entry/public_forum_learning_virtual_worlds/

At a public forum in Los Angeles on November 14th experts in media and education will explore what kids are doing in virtual worlds and what it means for their values, identity and sense of community. Hosted by Common Sense Media and the MacArthur Foundation, the event will be simulcast in Teen Second Life.

Join us on November 14th for a physical world and in-world discussion about what kids are learning in virtual worlds (update: the physical event is now full, however it will be possible to watch a simulcast or in-world viewing of the event). Four leading thinkers on virtual worlds will talk about what kids are doing in these new digital spaces - including Second Life, Whyville, There.com, The Sims and others - and how they are influencing kids’ values, identity and sense of community.
