Part of the University of Sheffield's Department of Information Studies in the UK, this island mainly focuses on information literacy and inquiry-based learning.

Here is the home screen, this is where you can teleport to the Journal room.

This a Journal Room.  It has many articles posted in it and you can also post articles.  Looks as though it has not been updated since 2016.

There was a nice PowerPoint about  using virtual worlds in education.


It seems like this island is not finish and/or up to date.  It does include some nice information about SL.  This would a nice intro to SL site.  I am not how good it would be in a PD.

Second Life

I found a theme-specified island called Inspiration Island which I would integrate into your traditional professional development session or possibly be a PD in itself.  This was by far one of the toughest assignment I have ever completed.  I am not sure how I feel about SL yet.

This is created by the College of Education and Human Services at Montclair State University.  They collaborate with field-based professionals-based on parity, trust and mutual interests-to support the continued learning of experienced professionals and foster the simultaneous renewal of the preparation of professionals and of the professions and communities in which they serve.

First thing you are able to ride and bike and get around easily.

You can discover your strengths.

Find your fortune.

You can also play music. 

It would be nice to use these as little breaks during a PD.  It was fun to move around this Island and items seemed up to date.
