Name in Second Life:

KarenSPC Fride

Home State or Province and Country:

Florida/Pennsylvania

Job Title:

Instructional Technologist/Instructor

Home Institution(s):

St. Petersburg College

Area(s) of Expertise:

I have a strong background in effective practices for K-12 and training for educators. I have now combined that with my love for the computer and support online instructors.
I am called the "Procurement Queen " in SL. That should comment to my shopping skills. I have had nearly 35.000 items in inventory and not crashed. I did clean out and am down to 30.000. (Very proud of myself!) Let me know if you are looking for something , I can help. (Did I mentions all but 3 items were either free or 1L? :-) ) I have been working on creating portable classroom environments and looking at what we need from RL and what doesn't need to be, (won't "fly" ha!) or happen in the SL environment.

Reasons for Joining SL-NET:

I am interested in the educational and networking opportunities within SL. As a former SIM addict, I can see the draw for somtihng educational but in this format. I am certain that educational venues for the future will look like this considering that a generation of young people taking over will have grown up playing and learning electronically.

What types of activities would you like SL-NET to sponsor in Second Life?

Explorations, networking.
