In 1994 I started a project called Aggiornamento, literally meaning "bringing up to date," It also embodies a spirit of change,openness,open-mindedness and modernity.The purpose of the project was to describe the opportunities of the World Wide Web for education. This blog informed you on my experiences as an observant participator in Second Life. Since I ve finished my report on SL I have decided to continue on writing about educational initiatives that inspire me.

Woodbury University 142/54/2
Visiting the Liberal Arts Campus it was not easy to find people or purpose of this location. Once I fell in a hole in the ground I came in touch with 3 Avatars holding hand puppets and having a somewhat cryptic communication. This section of the university gives access to people from all over the world to express themselves and thus created a cultural sandbox, rather than a technical one. Lots of visitors seem to like this spot as it is frequently visited by many SL residents with a weak spot for culture. I was pleasantly surprised by the presence of fellow puppeteers too.

Thanks for the write-up Joop! Yes you are indeed correct that it is a sandbox for e-culture. You'll find many memes from the world of the internet here, and its citizens happily living within it. I invite anybody interested in this sort of thing to stop by. I'm sorry I was not able to give you a more detailed tour. Perhaps next time!
