EDUCEDGE,

On Monday Feb 4 at the Teachers Buzz on the NMC Labs sim:

” Willow Shenlin got us off to a great start by sharing her bilingual dictionary modified from an SL Glossary. This is keyword searchable by typing in to chat and it also provides a link to an mp3 file so you can hear the word being spoken! The one she demoed was Lakhota/English but other bilingual dictionaries can be made! You can get a notecard of all the instructions for using this simply by typing “glossary help” (minus the quotation marks) when you are close to the dictionary. Go get your copy now from NMC Labs where this and other gadgets will be available for the next few days. Let’s hope some of our SL language teacher community will start providing these bilingual dictionaries for other languages. Their production would make for great student projects, becoming fantastic in-world resources, expecially when combined with SL’s Babbler! Also check out the Lakhota Language booth in International Plaza on Info Island International. Great work Willow!” Read the rest at http://sl.nmc.org/2008/02/06/gadgets-galore-thats-the-buzz/

Thanks, Corwin. Great review
