I am trying to write about this, but I am having a very difficult time. I still think I am not doing a research paper, I feel like i'm doing just a review... I think I need lots of help!
Teen Second Life is geared to , of course, teenagers. The only adults allowed are the staff of Second Life as well as educators. Educational projects exist in teen second life, but the particpation is pretty much unknown unless you are a teen/educator using it. my research question is what is the participation levels of teen second life educational projects right now? How can we promote teen second life educational projects to districts and teachers, focusing on telling them the benefits of it.
i want to research how many educational projects are in teen second life right now, and how many students are using it (of courses, averages have to be made...). Is it optional classes, or is it mandatory classes? What are the benefts? What are the drawbacks? How easy is it to implement it? Where can Teen Second Life be promoted so it gets more traffic?

Okay.. So you're doing Teen Second Life and educational basically. If I were you I would do some research about education and second life before I make any concrete research questions. Maybe classes are met on second life of study groups. Maybe even like some kind of organiztional group supported by the school. idk. This could be a really cool hyertext essay. Just start off by researching online topics about it first. Then get an idea of what you're dealing with and go from there. Maybe you'll find out that kids aren't using second life in a positive way but in a negative way- which could flip your direction. There's a lot fo things you can do with this. Try to narrow it down. Awsome start though. What a great idea.
ReplyDeletesorry, I just thought of something else...you could do the POTENTIAL of teen second life and education. So like if it isn't being used educationally now, doesn't mean that it could never be. You could purpose idea of how it could be.
ReplyDeleteI just found out what teen second life is. i think it is a great topic to write about. i think focusing on the educational aspect of teen second life will be really helpful for teachers, parents and even teenagers.
ReplyDeletei am not good with research questions, but i believe the questions you are asking are good enough for a research paper.
