Avatars (Wikipedia) These are the characters or players or representations
that you create to explore and experience the world of Second Life
. We do not have answers to all these issues but as you create
an avatar for yourself ask
- Is this an identity you are creating?
- What if you change identities including gender, race, size,
age, shape, disability?
- How might this be used in a classroom?
- Ethical issues?
