OpenSimulator Community Conference
November 9, 2014
2. Using OpenSimulator in K-12 Schools
Welcome! I’m determined that this session won’t
be Death by PowerPoint!
I’ll do a quick introduction and then present some
questions to choose from.
Or you can ask your own. I’ll start with the
questions from this morning’s OpenSimulator
K-12 Power Panel in case you missed it.
Ready? Here we go!
3. Using OpenSimulator in K-12 Schools
Introduction
• Been using VWs since 2006, started using
OpenSimulator in 2009 with switch to K-12
international schools
• Have managed my own grid, plus used hosts:
ReactionGrid, Dreamland Metaverse, Kitely
(and VIBE)
5. Using OpenSimulator in K-12 Schools
Introduction
• Have taken 200+ kids inworld, K to 12 (tried
Pre-K too)!
• Georgia, China, Mexico and now I’m the High
School Technology Integration Coach for the
American School of Guatemala
7. Using OpenSimulator in K-12 Schools
Introduction
• Published “OpenSimulator: School Quick Start
Guide” in 2011, one day I’ll get around to the
Second Edition!
• Lots of outdated information, but still some
good stuff:

One or more of these?
13. Using OpenSimulator in K-12 Schools
1. What makes an effective virtual world learning
activity?
• “Skeleton” lesson plans: just enough structure
to keep students focused on objectives
• Differentiation so that students can succeed
on individual and/or team basis
• Connect, communicate and collaborate
• Task-based exercises and project management
• IB Design Cycle: Investigate, Design, Plan,
Create and Evaluate (also Attitudes)
• Everything is project-based: No tests!
14. Using OpenSimulator in K-12 Schools
2. What makes young students excited to be in
virtual worlds?
• Being in charge of own learning experience
• Programming with instant payoff/gratification
• Cross-curricular or interdisciplinary activities
(connections with lessons in other subjects)
• Wide variety of tools put to practical use:
graphics, sound, etc.
• Freedom to create, (virtually) without limits
• Ability to simulate impossible gadgets/gizmos
• Making machinima (3D cartoons/movies)
16. Using OpenSimulator in K-12 Schools
3. What are the advantages of having one’s own
grid and how do you effectively manage it?
• Locally managed grid means free usage, ability
to not worry about Internet connection
• Complete security, at cost of inability to
hypergrid to other grids, interact with others
• Sells virtual world concept to nervous parents
and administrators re: little munchkins
• Total control over parameters such as prim size
• Mainly a matter of managing OARs: saving and
loading for different classes
17. Using OpenSimulator in K-12 Schools
4. How do you get others to engage in virtual
worlds teaching?
• Best if IB (or IB-style) cross-curricular or
interdisciplinary instruction is a goal
• Start with easiest sell: Art teacher for inworld
gallery, Music teacher for inworld concert
• Usually after students start using it, word of
mouth will get other teachers curious
• Conduct demos for teachers of other subjects
according to their interests (e.g., Math)
• Request virtual field trips to education sims
19. Using OpenSimulator in K-12 Schools
5. How do I get virtual worlds started at my
school?
• Best is to start with free local grid or cheapest
possible host company, pay for it yourself
• Don’t try to explain too much in advance
(better to seek forgiveness than permission)
• Could start with education-specific game like
MinecraftEdu and let kids do the sales job
• Start with easiest sell, usually IT Teacher
• Another angle is to introduce it as the best way
to teach programming (as part of STEM)
20. Using OpenSimulator in K-12 Schools
6. What can you teach using virtual worlds?
• Obvious: Computer-Aided Design (CAD),
programming, project management
• Teamwork, communication, collaboration
• Self-reliance, being in charge of learning
• Good way to introduce student-centered
learning as concept, also 3D printing
• Subjects: IT, Math, Science, Art, Music,
Languages, even Literature
• Other tools: Graphics, 3D Modelers (e.g.,
Sketchup), Sound and Music Production
22. Using OpenSimulator in K-12 Schools
7. Does this meet Common Core or other
standards?
• Honestly don’t know about Common Core, VIBE
folks about to embark on that project
• Have created IT curriculum that met rigorous
International Baccalaureate standards
• Middle Years Program (MYP) at first, with
reliance on Design Cycle, extrapolated to
Primary Years and Diploma Programs (PYP, DP)
• If World of Warcraft curriculum can meet
Common Core standards, so can OpenSimulator
23. Using OpenSimulator in K-12 Schools
8. How do you assess virtual world activities?
• IB Way: Each phase of the Design Cycle
(Investigate, Design, Plan, Create and Evaluate)
has rubric scaled according to performance
• Again, no tests: everything is project based
• IB includes Attitudes, can adopt as rubric
category: Teamwork, Collaboration, etc.
• Let students evaluate each other on
performance, e.g., contributing to team effort
• Keep daily “plus or minus sheet” to track
formative assessment, ends in summative
25. Using OpenSimulator in K-12 Schools
9. Can virtual worlds be used for training teachers?
• Absolutely! All skills students can learn are
valuable to teachers too, tangible (e.g.,
programming) to intangible (e.g., collaboration)
• Great for getting teachers into cross-curricular
or interdisciplinary instruction mode
• Also great for transitioning teachers from tests
to projects, grades to rubrics
• Best way is to train teachers and students
simultaneously, with this and/or games
• Show teachers that learning can be FUN!
26. Using OpenSimulator in K-12 Schools
10.How does this compare to Games-Based
Learning or gamification?
• It is Games-Based Learning, just without the
shootings and obvious levels (external XP)
• Goals and milestones are within the game but
tied to class or other external objectives
• Easier to convince skeptical administrators and
parents that this is a learning environment
• Is gamification in the sense that a lesson plan
is tied to achieving goals and winning contests
• Team efforts compare well to all games
28. Using OpenSimulator in K-12 Schools
If you’d like an OpenSimulator grid for your
school, you could do it yourself.
