Exploring metaliteracy with symbolic modelling @valibrarian #GlobalMILweek #SecondLife

Another event to celebrate Global Media and Information Literacy week, which I organised in the 3D virtual world, Second Life, on Thursday 29th October 2020 for the Virtual Worlds Education Round Table (VWER): Exploring metaliteracy with symbolic modelling. This is at 12 noon Second Life Time (the same as US Pacific time): Note that this week the clocks have changed in many countries, but have not in the USA, this may be an hour earlier than usual for you e.g. in the UK it is at 7pm

Dr Valerie Hill will be facilitating a symbolic modelling session, with vounteers exploring what metaliteracy means to them. Symbolic modelling is an approach developed by Niela Miller and this snippet shows a participant from a previous session talking (Dr. Cynthia Calongne, Lyr Lobo in Second Life) to their model. You need a Second Life avatar (free) and the Second Life browser installed (an ordinary web browser doesn't work). The location for the event is https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Infolit iSchool/45/202/23
